Anybody else scratch building tonight?

Just finished scratch building this thing, the main body is a card mentos tube I found at an airport and the rest is foamboard. Maiden flight today at my school so I’ll keep you posted!

Update: plane flew fine until it didn’t, I experienced what I thought was a power failure, turns out my motor fully just came out (I think due to vibrations, my prop is a bit messed up) but fortunately this is an easy fix with an Alan key.

This is as far as i made it today. But hey its still further than where i started. Also, I don’t do CAD or 3d printing. This is all old school drafting and T&E. Back in my day, we played with sticks and stones. And we had to share the stick. (Shout out to the 3 people who got that reference)

I like the little duck you put in the photo too.😅
That’s going to be the hatch handle. It’s a QuackBang Grenade from The Fat Electrician. Check him out on YouTube, you will never want to learn history any other way ever again, trust me. His channel @the_fat_electrician, i also highly recommend @habitual_linecrosser. they are just damn funny and you learn some cool stuff along the way
