Anybody else scratch building tonight?

[mach1 rc]

It does look like an interesting build. I really liked the 22 as a prop-n-slot but this is something else. EDF power system I imagine, what are the specs?

Sorry tried to reply earlier but I messed up and back spaced what I wasn't supposed to. It has a single 70mm edf on 6s it is 56inches long and 36 inches wide.

I hear EDF's can be fussy with their intake/exhaust tube geometry, how did you sort that out with this plane? What's the Kv rating on the EDF?

Still want to adjust my cg further forward but otherwise, my first scratch build is mostly done!

It looks great!

I joined @K3V0's Mig3 build. It's next after my Storch.

Come on over and build a Mig3 with us!

May be sooner, may be later, still waiting on my Charlie. The Mig 3 will almost certainly be my next FT kit, so I'll jump in when I get mine.

Working on my first attempt at a V tail elevon plane, while also testing a new low aspect shape. It's a symmetrical kite or long diamond shape, widest part right in the center. I need to reinforce the bottom the electronics and linkages will be added.

That looks sweet!

this count as a scratch build? slow stik with saucer wing

That should work great for delivering pizzas

I finished a f-22 raptor tonight It turned out pretty nice hoping to fly it tomorrow only on thrust vectoring . View attachment 147484 View attachment 147485 View attachment 147486 View attachment 147487

Looks great and good luck on the maiden. Whatever you do don't run your battery down, coming in deadstick will be fatal .

Just printed off the plans for the Bushwhacker for some 3D practice. I am currently grounded from flying, waiting on a new Tx. Might just be in build mode for a bit. I might do a FT-3D as well. I might have access to some F pack equivalent motors so I could do some Mini twins... I wonder what @Grifflyer Shrubsmacker would be like as a twin, or a Mini Sea Duck. I don't have all the electronics to fill all the planes but I will get a few started and see what happens.

A twin Shrubby that sounds cool!!
Another good twin 3D is plane in the mini guinea.

I've been getting some last minute things done to my Edge plus finish up my KFM wing. After that, I've got some planes I'll be building...Spitfire, Corsair, etc.

I put a cheater hole in the bottom for high alpha a

it has a cheater hole cut in the bottom and is 2300kv edf

I'm going to be building the turtledeck for my mini spitfire. Then I'm going to try and fix up @Vimana89 Arrowhead that I crashed, or just build a new one, once I finish the plans for it

How did you manage to crash the Arrowhead? Must have been doing some crazy flying👍

I just cut out my Minimoa50 plans last night. And accompanies my buddy on his first trek into this world.

Good luck !
If it doesn't fly well, you can always add wings and have a F-117 Nighthawk. ;-)

Back from an interesting maiden. No crashes but man does this plane just🎈🎈🎈🎈🎈. I added in so much down trim it starts to fight itself and become pitchy. I'm not sure if it's the shape of the wing, my thrust angle, CG or what. Will post video on the "what did you fly today" thread. This plane does boast some stellar high alpha potential and a good speed envelope, and loops are effortless. If I can get it working right,cool, if not I can't afford to waste too much time with it at the moment and will just use the parts to rebuild my slender delta.

I got inverted high alpha going decently, and I wanted to try diving down from altitude, pull out of the dive inverted, and go right into an inverted high alpha, long story short I needed more down elevator

Also posted in another thread, but figured I'd post it here since I mentioned the plane here. This is the second maiden. I have to fight to keep the nose down and not sure if it's thrust angle, CG, or something else.
