So over the holidays my father-in-law (knowing about my interest in RC planes) told me he wants to build a plane with me. He didn't give any specifics at all as far as material, scratch built vs plans, or even if it was to be RC or not. Just that he wants to build a plane with me. He does know about Flitetest and has tried some to build some of their minis BUT he got burned with hot glue (I'm guessing it must've oozed out of something he was gluing) and it must not have been the day to be burned as he quit after that. He has done a little bit of RC...maybe a handful of beginner mode flights on a Sport Cub S.
So anyways, I'm up to the challenge, just need to see where to begin at and hopefully get some more ideas from him. He does like to tinker and be creative and work with all sorts of materials (wood, metal, etc). I do think though that anything Flitetest would result in me using the hot glue gun UNLESS we could just switch and use different glue (Gorilla Glue or something). There's also balsa building options too which I've been wanting to do anyways.
