Think I'm gonna try this one by @FoamyDM . Might enlarge it (because that's what I do), but that will depend on time since I got a few builds ahead of this.

Plane - Foamy Spruce Gosling

This Football field wing-span plane had held the world record as the larges plane the Movie the Aviator documented the life of its creator Howard Hughes... the H-4 Hercules mockling called the Spruce Goose, a name it will be forever known by...

Haven't had any time for this yet, but finished up the builds for the Speed Challenge, so gonna try to get this done before the end of August.

The Gosling is all cut out and did a quick design on some 3d printed motor mounts for it.

Got the fuselage done for the most part. Did the nose like the Guinea Pig and explorer. Gonna do the wings this weekend. Then the fun part. Wiring 8 motors in.

All wires cut and tinned. Now 48 bullet connectors and some splicing to go. The Quality Control Catgineer back on the job

Well I got close. But due to life situations, will not be done by September 1st. She will get finished though
