More progress:
Since I’m out of foam board, I started glueing up what I’ve already cut out.

I know nothing!
Seriously, it looks awesome. That is amazingly sporty looking. It's like a foamboard ferrari. I can't wait to see it fly.

Alright... I did the chuck-glide tests.
It actually didn't need any adjustments CG wise... I was not expecting that.

I did a longer distance toss after the one in the video and it flew straight and level, it seemed to prefer the faster toss, not surprising.
I was pleasantly surprised at how well it flew "out of the box".

Next I'll be making a few modifications to the design to make it easier to build and printing the new plans to build the powered prototype.
If that goes well, I'll release the plans.

Change of plans!
Since the chuck glider prototype survived the glide tests... I'm just modifying it to accept the RC components.
No sense in chucking (pun intended) a perfectly good airplane.

So I've started getting the electronics wired and will be installing them onto this beast shortly.

Foamy, is there anything you wouldn't build?!?!
Jk I'd love to see someone else build my design.
:unsure:There are a few things... (my living rm says otherwise) but not this beautiful plane/build.

to that end... Plans?

Hahaha... Ok
Like I mentioned earlier, no plans until it flies. (Unless you want to beta-test it as is... We could discuss that privately)
