Bush Plane Build Challenge II

[Hondo76251]

I got some 2208 drone motors that can run on 4s. Might be overkill for a plane designed for 2205 on 3s but power is power!

Overkill isn't exactly a problem in this challenge! lol

I’m making good progress on my plane. We leave for ff on Monday, and I’m about halfway through cutting the parts out. Boy does outlining the parts with a needle take a long time

I also like the needle method, but I have found that you can speed it up pretty easily. For the straight lines I just use pin holes every 6-8 inches and connect the dots with a pencil and ruler later. I’m not sure if everybody does this or if it’s just me but I have found that it speeds stuff up a lot.

Just tried to maiden my 130% old speedster..... my batteries arrived today...
but unfortunately my landing gear wasn't secured on tightly enough, and the wheels were to far back... so it resulted in a nose dive while on the runway, and snapped my prop.... luckily super glue repairs them really well

i'm also thinking of submitting a SBP..... kinda my own design and @Bushies 's design thrown together..... man but it looks amazing... like a tundra
