Anybody else scratch building tonight?

[SSgt Duramax]

So I started this project months ago based on the Ultrix 800mm I think. The plan was to use some brushed motors I had from a drone I used to have but that turned out to be a few more $$ than I was willing to put into it for ESC's. It looks a little strange in the pic as the wing is supposed to go through the fuse , not sit on the bottom like that. If anyone would like to take this on and bring it to completion just let me know and I will send you what I have for parts. @SSgt Duramax , this might be a project for you.

I have a 1306 motor and some micro servos that would work on one if you have the plans.

Thanks. Have it on order now. Might take out the right offset, and run CCW and CW prop set.

It is nice. I built my first twin like that. Not having to fight p factor is nice. One less thing to worry about.

It is a beauty! Mushed & squeezed gives a whole new meaning to MS design

Ok I was too groggy this morning, your joke went right over my head. Mushed & squeezed. I guess this is how I do MS.

I knew you probably had a power plant for it, LOL. I'll send what I have for plans

Been saving these detail pics so let's share them.
Managed to get maximum internal access.
Two magnets for the hatch.
Two tail servos will need to be mounted in the fuselage sides.
CA seems to do awesome for the cardstock work.
It would be really nice to blend the rear turtle deck into the tail better, but I kept it simple for ease of build. No need to make myself more crazy than I already am.

I need one of these

Build one. Or do you want to wait to see if it flies for me first?

Now do I make it a tractor or pusher, and if I make it a pusher, should I mid mount it?

If I can find some 3 view or something, I'll get right on it.

The original is a twin.

But I think you could make it a pusher without too much drama.

I'll send you my cut sheets/templates. I build my wings a little different but you can do it any way you want. I can't really describe the cardstock stuff without making an extensive How To video. Hopefully you've done a cardstock turtledeck before. Or build it square. Or change anything you want.
Do you want large sheets and you tile them yourself?

I saw a video about donkeys and some times they are better than a dog if you have a little farm. they will grab coyotes and other animals that piss them off. very nice video.

I've seen a few video's with guard donkeys you don't mess with them.

both work

Been a productive weekend off, finally got rid of my cold/man flu and transferred more models over to my new TX16s. All that's left on the spreadsheet to transfer are x2 Tiny trainers and my Vulcan bomber.
I am up to 19 models transferred so far, to my new transmitter. I am hoping to document my warbirds setups tonight from my original transmitter and update them on my spreadsheet.
By the end of these 6 shifts, I might be ready to update my original transmitter firmware.

Are you sure a single 1306 is powerful enough for that? If it's roughly the same size as the 800mm Ultrix, I would put at least an 1806 on it. (I do like having extra power though.)

I have one of those too. We shall see.

I need to seal it up and get my 55 put on it and add some v stabs. It will at least look cool when it crashes.

No, that isn't an optical illusion. I should have minwaxed my control surfaces better. The crusty dollar tree red oxide paint warped my elevons.

Decided to paint one this time. Went through the wifes paints and found this nice metallic blue. Think I'll have another look for a second color,

I’m confused, where’s the motor?😝

What do you recommend for brush on paint?
