Anybody else scratch building tonight?

Nothing wrong with what looks simple. When I broke down and made my Stik plane it was to make something simple and idiot proof. Turned out to be pretty awesome.

yep, I'm also going for something simple and idiot proof! I also chose this because I have some 850mah batteries and they arn't being used in anything so I'll make this plane for those batteries

 

[Grifflyer]

Eh that's too much effort

Agreed

I know that but why me? Can't someone else be stupid besides me? Why was I the chosen one?

You're the chosen one because you were supposed to destroy the Sith, not join them.

Agreed

I was hoping that someone would see that

Build plans for me:
1) Build a TT for a friend
2) Build my design
3) Either refurbish the guinea or make something to replace it

Anybody know any decent lightweight covering film (like parklite) that comes in transparent colors? I want to get started on my Gentle Lady but Willy Nillies is a little backlogged right now so my film won't be getting shipped for a while, time I do not have.

New Prairie Toolworks on ETSY.com has lightweight covering film called Doculam, it is opaque , but can be painted after install.

Ultracoat makes transparent colors I believe. My littlest stick by them is covered in ultra coat and flys super light still

I'm building a sub-250g glider, I'm concerned that the standard films might crush the airframe. Do you know what Willy Nilles uses?

Willy Nillies uses the covering that they sell. My littlest stick is also one of their kits. You can get away with ultracoat as previously stated, but it will add some weight. Since transparent park lite isn't made I recommend using willy nillies covering

I know how to do the Google real good.

But it sounds like you're wanting transparent colors. Sorry.

LOL. Well looks like that weight chart is a good starting point.

Yeah. I have some on the way from Willy Nillies I'm just concerned that it might not arrive before I ship out.
