2023 Spring Sprint Challenge

[SP0NZ]

I made some more progress on the DarkUrple over the last couple of days. Yes, that is going to be the name. It's my brother's gamer tag from World of Warcraft and I'm building this one for him. I picked up his Tx & Rx so I can get the Rx in this thing and start to button it up.

Printing a few more purple parts right now. Need to get this thing wrapped up in the next day or two. My wife's godson is coming over on Saturday to build his first plane (FT Tiny Trainer). Need to clear the bench for that.

Do you have some sort of vinyl cutter?

Do you have some sort of vinyl cutter?

Yes, I have a Silhouette Cameo 3. It's been an invaluable addition to my hobby workshop. I found most of the graphics online and made a few of my own for this model. It's pretty amazing what you can do with some foam board, a rattle can, and a vinyl cutter.

Man, you said it. Your planes look amazing.
Thanks.

I have used my Wife's Silhouette a few times for my hobby needs. Awesome tools!

The DarkUrple is ready to fly!

Not my cleanest build so far (mistakes were made) but definitely one of the coolest looking builds I've done. This one is a gift for my brother. I'm pleased with the end result and I learned a few things about the build sequence in the process.

 

[SP0NZ]

I finally finished the BB Baron.

You MUST add your dart! LOL. (even though it is a new build)

No Dart. No time left.
