great work matthew, thank you
! i may give this a shot when winter sends me down the basement.

can it be made into a tail dragger?

 

[Timmy]

fusion 360

lol.. i know the feeling

thanks

YAY.... remember it is a quick and easy build... 5 hours tops

yay.... i don't have a demo video of the actual fb plane... but here is a video of the sig kadet junior

. printer first. lol

i guess ive also got to tidy up my build room..... messy messy

Cool, I might be in depending on if I have time. I'm currently working o another non plane related project have to finish first.

Maybe like a bush version? Flaps, bigger wheels, wing fences etc? Or maybe an aerobatic version with bigger ailerons, and a shorter wing.

i might i have a list of builds to do and to finish

Yes, I don't see why you couldn't. And I've seen pics of it in taildragger style

I printed the plans at 40% and I got all my micro electronics in the mail yesterday. Its going to happen.

can't wait

I printed them at work and taped them up in my car over lunch. When I got home I unrolled them and it looks like my 2S 300MAH batteries are going to be a perfect fit in the fuselage. I accidentally picked exactly the right scaling! Maybe we can end up with a DIY turbo timber by accident.

that would be cool...

by mini power pack do you mean A, H or F power pack?

Glad to see this taking off!

There isnt a specific power pack. It is a 1306 4000kv motor.

I was originally going to build this.

Ok .. that looks like it should work

@mastermalpass .. i saw you said you needed to build another plane... how about joining this build?

 

[SSgt Duramax]

My P40 is done. I got the plans laid out and a wing cut out just now. Its gonna be so tiny!

Lol ..... That is gonna be small 🤣.... I must make 3 sheets of foam today... Do I can build mine this weekend

Ok those plans are fine. I just noticed that the very very end of the fuselage was sticking 1-2 cm over the page so that's missing. But it's no big deal I'll just post a pdf page with that end that was cut of and then you can just tape it on ..
What do you think of the plans? Are they reasonably neat?

@CrshNBrn here is the additional piece for the very end of the fuselage that wouldn't fit on a standard A1 page
it's an A4 page

We'll see how it goes. Just got the other wing cut out. I'll be delaminating one side of the foam and using probably white gorilla glue to get the wings down. I am not to worried about the fuse, but I may have to elongate the wing like the turbo timber (it has a 28 inch wing span and I am at 20). Even if I do have to elongate the wing, it is still going to be a tiny sliver of foam. They are comically small!


I have to wait until some adaptors for my servos come in anyways before I can even get a maiden. Not sure if I am going to try to do internal or external mounts for the servos.

sounds good.
i would do the servos the way that is the lightest
