"not so scrappy" 100% agreed, what happened to building a plane from scrap parts.. seems scrap includes unobtanium

Scrap from his shop is just a bit higher quality! Lol

It can be programmed with a Spektrum G2 transmitter or a Smart ESC Programming Update Box
Since you are using a radiomaster, you would probably need to use a Smart esc programmer.

Wrong airframe, but this is turning out to be "scrappy" in the true sense, got the donor tore apart and the rough outline started...
Almost feels wrong to tear apart an airframe with so little use, never even had a hard landing! Lol.

one on the left= 1.5 grams on the right= 1 gram
not bad for dtfb

The nacelles are heavy, gonna need a bigger wing.
Scaled it down to be 24" but im thinking more like 30 now if its going to do anything remotely "bush plane"

I did the same think with my kitfox. scaled it down to 26" but stretched just the wing to 30"

Loving the landing gear
Just add some retracts and you've got a VTOL

Got the endurance video done though a few landing had me going off screen after touch down. When I got home I saw how much I'd beat the landing gear up. A little hot glue and bending later and everything is back in shape.
I have a crazy landing video, but I end up being in the way, so I have to reshoot it. This is a difficult challenge for me as the site I chose is narrow and though it doesn't look it on the video, it's hard to keep the plane in a viewable area after takeoff and bringing it back around for landing. Hopefully, I can shoot the last two pieces tomorrow and upload them.
My hope, forlorned as it may be, is that the cargo challenge doesn't kill a plane with long narrow wings.

The cargo challenge is the tricky part for sure!

Of course i cant just add a couple servos...
Gotta build a whole new harness!
And bullet connectors, gotta have them,
As much as i disklike soldering i seem to find ways to do a lot of it 🤪

ive just made some nice big fat 6" wheels.... they will do very well for my 'runway' (a foot path)

She's a little heavy for what i wanted (350 grams), and ugly to boot, but i dont usually waste a lot of time on the first prototype. We'll see how she flies but i think this unique design has a lot of potential! With 30" wing its still easily a one sheet build.

Final day! Good luck!!
Well, the DO 28 flew...
Terribly, but flew nonetheless! Lol
Had several issues, though the design seems sound. The main problem is the janky servos i put in the wings. I got a bad batch a while back and thought i had gotten rid of them all but i was wrong apparently. Not sure i can salvage the wing if i have to pull servos but its a simple rebuild if so. Hopefully i dont have to do my challenges after dark! 🤪
