Bush Plane Build Challenge II

[Monte.C]

Struts are on, and just about to install the bottom hatch. Cold windy and raining here today so no flying opportunities, hopefully it might be better tomorrow to get out. View attachment 198320 View attachment 198321 View attachment 198322

If the Bush Plane Challenge is a beauty contest, you've already won.

yeah it's a little heavy but we'll see how she flies, figure I would give myself lots of time to learn how to fly it. And if I don't like I have enough time to rebuild. Not liking where I put that landing gear but we'll see, CG is good so all I can hope for is a sub 20 km/h day to try it out

Hatch is done which means the build is done. Let's see how it flies

Your beaver puts my PC-6 Pilatus to shame! I can't wait to see how it flies.

Almost done, just got all the servos hooked up and the tail wheel in. Tomorrow I'll be making the struts and painting the finishing touches. On Monday the shocks are supposed to arrive so I'm hoping to get this thing done by Wednesday.

I disagree, that plane is gorgeous, awesome paint job!

I am going to use this blueprint for designing Scrappy using Inkskape!
I am not going to totally stick to how they designed the blueprint!

Ok, I have been working on finding a second entry to make, should I do a Wilga 2000, DO-27, or a Modified draco?

Do27 all the way!

Or the Do-28 both are awesome. Originally I was going to do the 28

I was thinking I could enter this.

The wing decal is its flying weight!

That is a great idea, but I want to do a mid-sized single engine airplane, I am kinda done with large aircraft right now.

I love it! It looks so awesome!

Well, I can't find any blueprints with fuse formers, and I haven't figured out how to make my own on these planes.

 

[william Metge]

Ok, I think I will either do a Wilga 2000 or a Modified Draco, the DO-27 is a little bit too much work to make formers.

My little brother found 3 views of the draco and he is using that to design most of the airplane on Inkscape!

I could give you the link if you want it later on when I am able!
