I have wanted to do this for a while.
I am going to attempt to build the FT Cabbie
The plans can be found here: https://www.flitetest.com/articles/planes-fire-rescue-challenge
Here is what I have so far:
[I had to change the radius on the nose too/bottom skin. Also had to cut the length to fit. Also that section missing is not in the plans as I understand.]
I also have done the center wing section but no photo. [Plans say spar is a b-fold, but think will try with an A-fold. Will give a little thicker airfoil doing that.]
There has been some issues with the plans so far (as noted above)
I plan on doing a rough build first and update plans as needed.
I will have to make he wings break down (maybe tail) for transport
I will reinforce wings center wing section with plywood spar or other areas with doublet etc as I see fit to make sure it is robust.
I will update plans and publish. Along with pictures to help with assembly.
NOTE: I am a slow builder so this will take some time.
