Balsa Dusty

[planebreaker2000]

I loved my foamy dusters and decided to make a balsa one. It is a 120% with a 38" wingspan. It has a power 10 motor with a 9x6 propeller. It weighs 32 ounces ready to fly.

What do you guys think?

Looks great the dusty was the first FT plane I ever built. I am a newer pilot and I don't know if my flies bad or if it is just the way it flies. Your looks great good luck.

Thanks. I used neucover from value hobby and parklite from horizon. Its all covering except for the mouth that is sharpie.

Looks great! Did you do balsa sheeting over formers style construction?

 

[Grifflyer]

That looks great!! How long did it take to build?

Thanks guys. I used 1/8" sheet sides and bottom, 1/16" turtle deck and D-box in the wing, some ply and some 3/32" formers.
I build mainly on weekends for about 2 hours and it took me 4 weekends.
