65% FT Storch Build Log
So, insert a story of why I decided to build a plane here. Anyway.... I quickly was drawn to the FT storch for a design, as it was exactly what I needed and already "debugged". However, getting everything to fit right was a HUGE challenge when I decided to scale it down to 65% as all the A/B folds needed to be enlarged, which made the size of some parts change, and so they no longer fit right. Below are a ton of photos that I took while building and I plan to take many more and keep this tread updated.
I will break the build process up into chunks, this being the first. The next one will be sure to include a detailed report on many little "hiccups" I found during the build process.
If you want to see a specific part off this, please leave a reply to this thread as I have subscribed to it, and I'll snap it and upload it in the next update.
Be shure to check out the WHOLE log! Only the posts at the bottom (or the bottom of the last page) are up to date.
The maiden flight is here! look no further than the bottom for the video.
PHOTO BARRAGE!!!!
