thought I would introduce myself to link up and exchange info with other foamies in ozI started getting back into RC flying about a year ago after not having build a plane since I was about 12. I am now 67.
I started building and modifying models from the scratch build FT plans and from other FT builders like Eduardo Fritis with his terrific Fokker D7 and flair magnetilla builds.
I started with a Spitfire made a few minor modifications like a full foam canopy front to back and foam nose and a pop out undercarriage system that works fine. It's a beautiful flyer see picture. I then built a Messerschmitt Bf 109 definitely not a plane for beginners to fly very twitchy and enjoyable for the experienced close in my club. I then built a baby blender which to be frank flew like an angry bumblebee. I did a major rebuild increased wingspan to 900 mm added some dihedral and a motor with a bit more grunt and an undercarriage out of scrap aluminium. The modified blender is a great flyer a real joy. My latest build is an RC powers su V4 trainer it's a beautiful flyer and I've been installing an Rx based buddy system in it to get rid of having to have leads between the txs when buddy flying. I'm in a wheelchair So you can imagine the tangles with leads spokes and legs.I'll put up a post of that rx buddy design on the FT site.
