Flite Test Leaks, No Bixlers allowed!

Uh OH!! Looks like Benchy is in trouble yall!!

I don't think I have seen this one before.... looks a bit like the EZ 2 channel designs (3 thick nose, 1 thick tail boom, however - maybe a bit on the big size and looks like it has tractor motors instead of pushers)

Looks like an Ez WACO glider, they could also be designing a c-47 and have it as a ww2 ez pack! An Idea.

Hmm, those tutors sure look similar to this plane:

Just a heads up..
If you're going to tease us now.
You had better release the plan's asap..
Or we'll all have an anxiety breakdown..
Waiting and wondering what will it fully look like

I don't need plans, just specs lol

I was so excited when I made the Canada

I don't need plans, just specs lol

heck, take the photo, put it into AR, capture its 3D image and print it out!

I think Mr. Benchy can handle the situation.

Don't underestimate the benchy's power

Hey guys! We have not had the Legacy speedbuild kit available for awhile now and its because of the landing gear. We tried to get another run of the bent metal stock ones but due to issues with availability of the materials the price of the Legacy kit would be way higher. As an alternative we have been testing a modular 3D printed part. Our tests have been great so far but we are still experimenting to make sure it will be a good alternative. Our current idea is (after more testing) ship with this landing gear and have the replacement STLs available to download, along with plans to the original aluminum part to DIY. The metal and plastic parts are 100% cross compatible if you want to switch between them.

Sounds good to me! I'm wanting to put mine on floats, but it would be nice to switch out. When do you think the SBK's will be available?

Not sure yet! We want to test and make sure they are as good as can be. I'll update on any developments we have with it.

it's been an hour...any developments yet?

Why not just get a sheetmetal shop to shear you some .040 6061 1/2 inch wide and then build a wood block form vice, poke a couple of 1/8 holes and waller, landing gear? Maybe add a plywood bearing block for the bottom of the fuse and have the user drill a hole or two.

...this had made me wonder at the viability of creating flying long ships from Roman times and then achieve 'ramming speed' and see which remains in the air after a bit...

@FTCA Director, Either You did jousting with the benchy’s or you shot them with the airsoft minigun. Or the balsa stick was just a camera mount. All i know is benchy went into battle!
