Big Scout or Mini Scout? 'Cause if you're going for the mini, you could take a shot at building the lightest one ever!

Full size scout , its for my lad to practice his take off and landings. So he doesn't trash my Volantex Trainer on his first few attempts, thats for later when he develops his technique.Big Scout or Mini Scout?

Started cutting the Scout parts out today, didn't quite finish still got the wings to do to tomorrow plus cut out the firewall and some control horns.
Wednesdays job is ironing the edges of the tail section, particularly the elevator and rudder as I am fitting proper hinges on this model rather than the paper versions.

Early in January I ordered a spare Volantex 4023 1050kv motor. Thought while it was cheap I would buy one, as I have considered getting a phoenix 2.4m powered glider.
Its cheaper to buy the kit and build it yourself, plus you can then use more reliable parts than the PNP versions and save money at the same time. The 4023 motor is the only concession, its the sakme motor as used in my Trainstar and in the Phoenix V2 - 2 meter version.
I ordered it from Aliexpress who I have never used before and although I wasn't impressed with the packing, it still arrived un-damaged and reasonably quick too.
So may use them again in future.

I do like the look of a wood build it has a touch of nostaligia to it along with a feeling of something substantial as well

I've heard that it is a bit of a handful since it is so small and has so much power

I suggest the Mini Speedster on 2s. It can be bit of handful (rolling and then losing altitude) if you're not gentle with it in the turns, but it's super rewarding and relaxing to fly once you've got the hang of not slamming the rudder all the way over to turn. It also glides really nicely, and can do a rolling take off with almost no rudder input in less than four feet.

I've heard mixed remarks, but my full sized scout was great! I haven't built the mini one though.

Might build a small version of the Scout as my pylon racer project, with the KF step wing
