Hey @Jo's squadron I am wanting to build the MM DR1 but I am curious if the payload weight would be changed for it? I will probably still make the ascender down the road, I was just curious......

For minis it is 100g payload.

Very cool! What Motor/Prop are you using?

11x4.7SF prop and a 3548 900kv from FlashHobby on a 1500mah 4s battery.

Flew the Storch today! VERY short take offs, but on landings it keeps nosing over, would bigger wheels help?

Thanks @Jo's squadron , I would like to change my entry to a MM DR1 then.

That's why I didn't what to do one like the cub or storch because they are notorious for that....The scout they actually addressed that problem

250-300gm? That is my opinion at least.

I ended up making another sea duck. This one is a little more spicy. Like morning after Tijuana Taco Tuesday and you drank the water spicy.🥵 4s with 9.5x4.5x3 props or 10x5x3’s. We’ll see after they get here next week and we do some bench testing with current equipment. im not competing im just making a rocket with rockets. I already printed some 1/15th scale hydra rocket pods. I might add some side cannons and JDAMS. probably a top turret. i am going for full send porcupine. Basically imagine if Rebecca and Molly were kidnapped by (Insert any evil fecal sphincter here) and Baloo and Kit have unlimited resources and like 3 of the craftiest Marine aircraft mechanics from Henderson field circa 1943. It will be the Sea Duck from Hell…. The Hell Duck….
