FT 2021 Micro/EZ Build Off

[GrizWiz]

oh. so if I just mount the motor in a different place, like making it a 3 motor plane from a 1 motor, I would still need to change the wings for it to apply, right?

Yeah. It needs to be modified in some way other than the motors

I just saw this post. I wish I could enter this one in, but it is 24" and I don't have build log. just what U see. The main construction material is 2mm depron and some balsa that U see. I think I will take a video on the next calm day. One of my club members smacked up his E-Fite B-25, so I bought the wreckage for $20 for the electronics. I think I have some more for entries, let me go in the garage and see what I can find.

I found these two. 17" WS. I have plans, partial build log and just one video. Too much on my table to enter on this one. So guys, go on without me, I will catch up with you later.

Many thanks @BlockerAviation .I knew I could count on U. I should stop posting and get back to drawing out my plans for the flying boat challenge. Unfortunately I won't get back to it until May 3 when I return. Leaving tonight.

His name is Francesco Baracca, and the historical value is that that horse later became the symbol for Ferrari.

Your awesome dude! Right on the money. For that I give U two cardboard cookies.

@cyclone3350 that's not fair at all. That was the trivia question of a lifetime and it deserves a case of twelve boxes of cardboard cookies.

Well this IS the forum full of aviation fans, but still. @FlyerInStyle you're like Lord of the Planes now.

Or are you just real good at doing the google?

 

[Hondo76251]

Did some tweaking, changed thrust angles, rebuilt tail, but with such a small wing and so much weight the chances of flight seem dubious at best 🤪

 

[Hondo76251]

Well, its windy and rainy out, but i gave her a little toss. Need to adjust thrust angles even more 🙄

He could have seen that episode about Ferrari on CNBC Ultimate Factories. There was an interview with Enzo where he explained how he came about the prancing stallion. That is how I first heard of it.

I heard in some documentary I watched when I was like 10

Total newb question. Do the builds for this contest have to be foam board or can they be from depron?

Don’t see why not either but I am not the expert. If it flies is the real question.
