2023 Spring Sprint Wrap-Up. LitterBug

what plane is this for? looking like really good prints! nice tuning on the printer!

Currently working on fixing the FT Mini Dart..... Did have to knock some stringers off the prints, but super happy with the current state of tune on my MonoPrice MP10. So close to being ready to fly. Just need to add color and re-maiden! Super excited. Everything is working really well. Will make sure to get footage.

FT Mini Dart ready to maiden tomorrow! Ground checks complete

FT Cub ready to maiden tomorrow! Fixed H-stab, Prop, and loose rx/gyro

We'll see if anything else gets done before flytime tomorrow

Well.... That didn't go so great. Appears my rates were way high on the FT Mini Dart and it got away from me into the sun..... Not sure if it can snap back again, it's pretty soft.

Waiting for another day to fly the cub

I got the FT Simple Cub out to the field. What a hoot! Appears the gyro was backwards for.the rudder and boy was it a handful in gusty cross winds. LOL

Some testing and re-config before it hits the field again.

I was half tempted to let the other guys at the field fly it to see how they coped with some awesomely erratic controls. :-D
