Anybody else scratch building tonight?

I think it's a Dauntless, but now that you mention it, the wing does look a lot like a Corsair...

I originally thought dauntless well but the wingtips kinda look Corsair and it really looks like it has a gull wing...

Looking closer it’s definitely a dauntless - my bad haha.

Started the next phase of the new plane. Any guesses ? View attachment 145728

I’ve got the plans pasted on the foam for another simple stick. This time it’ll be making a build video.

Got the thrust tube geometry finalized, formers drawn up, got some black dtfb today and ordered a 64mm edf. looks like this project will eventually happen.

Working on it now. Had to go back and blow it up 5% as the EDF I received is a bit bigger than the model I grabbed from grabcad. Will be better for wing loading too. Also wasn't happy with the inlet geometry so going over that again. Starting to think I should angle the edf up inside the fuselage as well to even out the flow? The thrust tube Kind of gets pushed down from the top a lot. Not sure what effect that will have? If you want to build the prop slot version I can share those plans but they are a bit rough.

@mackaiver @Grifflyer @Flyingshark Surprisingly didn't take much damage on the maiden. I remember flying after this that it seemed to pitch up with throttle so you may want to experiment with some down thrust? Up thrust?

Sweet! Standard flying wing setup for the controls I assume?
