I may be throwing my hat in, but this time attempt it for real. looking to replicate a scrappy flap situation. #d printed formers will be the answer I think.

I got a good idea for anyone not sure what to do… The Patriot Aircraft Super Patriot. It just made its debut at sun n fun last week. The plane looks cool, has a low wing loading, and a wide speed envelope.

A chinook plus 2 is aalso suggestion if you don't know what to build

Im hoping that lowering the need to go "full send" on the challenges will bring on more cool ideas like this. Hard to put a lot into a cool design for a challenge that has a 99% mortality rate! Lol

That's exactly why I'm not sure about putting the PA-12 in on this

im excited to put 4 inch bush tires on my plane

I've said it before and I'll say it again, the absolute best tires in that size range are the E-flite Timber tires. They last a long time, look good and are lightweight

Im planning to use my old sea duck this year so no wheels on that, but if i have time ill get that DO28 back i the air and get the bugs worked out.

Ill re-use the wheels I made for the bushwacker on that. With a little reinforcement and some athletic tape those simple wheels can take some serious abuse!

like my kitfox wheels! (yes I did finish the kitfox from the last challenge, but no it does not fly well yet lol) It's now a resource!
