Hey all, its been a while since i posted here in good ol' FT Forum.
Well I am back with a new and exciting project, with a brand new Peopoly Phenom on my soon to purchase list ( just waiting on the funds/$tsla stock). I have begun work on my latest project over on my YouTube channel. (insert shamless plug here )
I just recently finished working on a CYBER BIKE concept and with my new printer right around the corner I was looking for a new project, I wanted to get back to me biggest passion, model aviation. So with BIG kick@$$ printer in my tool set, what should I make? I wanted something awesome, of course, but something fun and easy to fly. I'd get bored of a trainer style aircraft way too fast to justify the cost and effort, but I have a naughty passion for bush planes. They can perform like a Trainer and they can by lots of fun flying low and slow.
So there i was thinking of what kind of STOL monster I wanna make, AND BAM! It hits me, that crazy American with that crazier Wilga, and thats how it all started.
Specs: (some design parameters are still being decided.
more specs to come
So its still SUPER early days for this project at the moment and i have been a bit out of touch with the RC aviation community, so im jumping back in with a fun project and would love for you all to follow along. My knowledge of new hobby parts is "new guy on the block" level at the moments so i would love for any advice on choosing the right parts like motors, servos, Tx/Rx, and the important one batteries. Please check out episode 01 where I go over the parts I have on hand and go over some more details about the project. I also post regularly over on my Twitter so feel free to follow me there too.
Thank you all, I will post updates here as often as I can. Latest update 15/01/2021
