I'm just going to say this once: feel free to stick around. I'm going to do something crazy, which has probably been done before. Anyway as you can guess, I'm building the X-29! My crazy modification? Using a swappable power pod from the FT Spitfire and sticking it in there! I'd wanted to do an EDF, but I did something dumb (nothing bad, but my parents had to pay for a new bike rim) and I'm not on their good side at the moment! Since I'm 16, and don't have a credit card, well I'm in a pickle. I can't even buy the bullet extensions for the thing, and don't have access to soldering, so I can't splice any wire. I only have got 1 emax power pack c, and it's screwed to the swappable power pod. So the only option is to modify the motor pod mount to fit a swappable mount. I still don't know what I'm going to do but I'll find a way to make it work. Any suggestions? I may build it as a 2 channel RC glider or something. Anyway I'm going to start! Ooh, FT tech on YouTube recently uploaded a video about Discus Launch Gliders! Maybe I'll watch that before I cut out my scratch build plans!
