Anybody else scratch building tonight?

I think i have heard in a recent video the are making a Mighty Mini Old Fogey. It shouldn't be hard to make one without their plans though, just scale it to 60%.

I know that video, and Josh states once again how lift doesn't like to be scaled down. They did make a prototype and the performance was down graded from the original.

this plane is an original piece of cake glider, I built one out of foam board to see how it would fly because I had the balsa version.

it flies wonderful even with those corky gear it’s still so fun to fly

Yea, The rudder is the most effective thing I’ve ever seen though

Rudder definitely looks big.

Rudder definitely looks big.

Yes, but it was designed as a glider and gliders are usually slower than powered aircraft becauze of their lack of a motor, so there is less air affecting the tail suefaces and so they must be enlarged to combat this. This is just my guess, I don't know anything about this specific model.

I have been waitimg for this box for a lomg time and it just arrived. I won't say what's in the box, but you'll see what it is when I am done building it. It is a kit though and it's future tense, so I hope this counts on the thread.

Hint, it's a glider.

Found a video of the balsa plane that my plans were based on. Hopefully mine goes as well LOL! The wife says Probably not

How is the Rutan coming along? I thought I recall some question on the CG, maybe confused with another. Anyway, stumbled across another model of a racer version. CG shown if needed. I wouldn't mind making a Foam Board version. thathttp://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=11273

Haven't done any building since finishing the Goblin.

But I have put plenty of miles under its wings. Made it out past 1.5 miles today before turning around.
