Fantastic job, looks amazing!

Can't wait to fly her. Already started designing a 3d printed mount to fit a 80mm on it.

Gotta put a receiver in her (then glue the top hatch) and control rods. Then she's ready to go.

WOW! I think that's one of the best yet!😁 (but if its the fastest has yet to be seen😏)

Wow, that’s gonna be sooooo cool! (rad might be a better word 🤣). I wonder what size of battery you’re gonna need?

Nice!👍 (Hoping to build one as soon as our CNC is done!)

This one just for practice. The fast one is yet to come.

The wing loading...🥴

Might need a bungee launch.

Yeah...I wonder if I could make a 3D print/PVC design.....

Not sure I just order a couple of 1100 6s. But she gonna be heavy no matter what. I just need a couple passes. Will pry put a bec with a tiny battery just in case I drain I won't loose controls. She'll pry glide like a brick.

Maybe something like this..But a little more powerful and stronger😆😆

The thing about high-weight aerodynamic pusher jets (my multiplex funjet is basically the definition of this 🤣). Is that they glide, FAST. They don’t lose the altitude quickly, they just cover a lot of ground 😂

Might need a bungee launch.

Or maybe drop her from the 200% Legacy. Only ever drop gliders before, might be cool.

Like Projectair did with his rocket powered EDF😁

I will have to check that out

Though if I remember right, he used a drone...

Finished the Duckling. Wind still won't cooperate, and got things to do tomorrow. So had to finish it in red in duck tape. Still not to bad looking. All servos install, and will put the control rods on tonight once they get here. Can't wait to fly her.

That looks soon good. You and RaRa are making one.

Last day! Huck ‘em in the air if you got-’em
