[Taildragger]

Well, my friends want me to make something out of a Hobbyzone Duet (dog got it after landing), so I guess I'm in!

Just a reminder to start on your designs and builds! I am going to enter a EZ T-38 and a EZ ME-262. I might do a EZ JU-87 instead of the ME-262

@Addicted would you like to participate?

 

[AIRFORGE]

I want to, but I still have a lot of repairs to do on the house, and might not have time for the build off.

That's fine. We can move the ending date to if enough people want to.

 

[AIRFORGE]

Well, I'm in.
I'll try to make some time, if I can.

I'm thinking of doing a 1/6 Stits Sky Baby. It is butt-ugly, but the history behind it is cool, and apparently it flies really well as a model. View attachment 194838 View attachment 194839 View attachment 194840

The glide rate=none haha. I saw it in person once. It's weird to be taller than a plane, and I'm still shocked that a person could fit in it!

and not so great for long distance flights

You had to have a maximum height of 5'6" to fit in it I think

 

[OliverW]

It has a little bit more room in it than a Pitts S1S XD
