I build a Storch last week, and took it out for my first RC flight ever. After about 3 or 4 minutes of flying around, it took a pretty good tumble. All the damage was fixed the next day, but decided I wanted something a little smaller to lug around. (plus my work area isn't all that big)
This week I decided to build the FT-22 Raptor.
This is a build log for the complete scratch build. and the first step is where my main question lies.
I printed out the plans at work, and took them home to tape 'em together. I use a glass table and a flash light underneath, so I can see the lines and line them up through the margin on the papers edge, where the printer cannot reach.
Does anybody have any good tips on any better way to do this procedure?
It takes a lot of time, and most of the time it still does not come out perfect. This one was pretty close all around (just a little off here and there), but when I built the FT Storch the bottom of the fuse was pretty uneven and drove me nuts!
I went to the local Fed Ex print shop and they wanted apx. $15 for a black and whiteL, full sized print on regular thickness paper. Any tips or suggestions would be appreciated!
Then I cut out all the peices and taped the on the foam...
Next I will obviously be cutting out all the foam peices and begin the build process.. I will keep the progress posted!
Does anyone know about any good mods for the 22?
