Anybody else scratch building tonight?

[Vimana89]

I got my 25 sheets of Adams white today, still waiting on the old B pack setup, other small supplies, and the two back ordered EZ 2ch packs. I hauled the foam in immediately so it wouldn't warp in outside/garage heat and stuck it in my foam stash closet to sit a couple days, just in case. Looks packed super tight in the box so fingers crossed for little to no warping. Can't wait to start cranking out builds again.

you should change the name from "floating kidney"

Possibly, although I retained the original name of the concept from Outerzone for respect of the real OG, which was a chucker designed in 1947. Check it out on Outerzone if you want. I never really got good footage of the 4ch, but here's a decent clip of the earlier 3ch RET. It's a lot like a Nutball, but...well, better. The landing had zero throttle all the way down. The 4ch could roll well and was a bit better in standard forward flight.

Boy that has a beefy look to it. Bet it'll look great in the air.

@Timmy It looks like there isn't a large enough piece of wood to support the nose landing gear to the foam. I would increase the current size of it 4 to 6x that current piece. See attached img.

I think I'm just gonna completely reinforce the font landing gear area cuz the entire thing just came out. Plywood and woodglue here I come!

Yeah I did. The entire area inside the red rectangle is now wood.

Probably because that's a downscaled bloody baron. (Am I right @SquirrelTail?)

You can basically do combat with whatever plane you want to! I made a simple cub scaled to 150% and ready for some combat a while back lol.

How about a DEATH FT-3D?

If you want to talk combat, @Wildthing is your man. He has a whole arsenal of death planes. He isn't playing around when he does combat. (He puts razor blades on his wings)

 

[Timmy]

a DEATH FT-3D?

wuts that?!?!?

Something I made up. Just make an FT3d and deck it out with weaponry!
