Carol Shelby comes to mind...It is, really. People used to stuff big block V8's into Pontiac Fiero's that what this is. Had to hang on the whole time

Yes it does. Thing is the Racer I just built looks more like a Mustang in the nose, maidens tomorrow. Stay tuned

Today I finished wiring in the electronics on the Petrel II Sailplane and started painting. It's going to be painted like an F4u, blue on top with a white underbelly. Planes of Fame is having their annual volunteer model/RC building contest in March, I'm going to enter this one as well as my triplane and Bird Dog unless I have a balsa build finished by then, which isn't likely.

I uploaded a fpv video to youtube. Also got a receiver (xmplus) shoved in a freshbuilt 3inch cinewhoop. no rssi? i did discover sensors to no avail. i put a runcam split in it then realized i wanna use reel steady go so gonna have to use hero 5 after all. i'm a catch a few packs in it to see if split footage looks ok. The split mini is running off the 5v from the vtx. Seems to be recording fine but this is the min voltage it asks for.

I finished the major lines on all the tiles for my hand drawn plans of the '39 Special. I only have to add the little indicator lines and marks for the types of cuts and folds, and figure out how to scan and add other stats and index pages and how to submit the plans properly as a PDF file.

The xm+ doesn't do telemetry, the Rossi is reflected onto a receiver channel (usually channel 12). You can set betaflight to pick it up.

That looks like an easy fix

What a great looking plane, all things considered. I agree with Wild thing, it looks like an easy fix.

Thanks and yes, should be easily fixed.

That's the beauty of foam- the plane's never dead until something catches on fire.

good weekend of flying. was absolutely beautiful and totally reinforced why i live in tucson, az. 70's and sunny, not a cloud in the sky.
2 good pics;
first the freewing F-22 that i hacked up like in the FT video. absolutely luv this plane. there is no one who has anything like this beast at the field. it sounds cool, looks cool, flies easy and stable, and does some crazy stuff. i was doing over 45 degree alpha passes down the runway a few feet off the ground and moving at a snails pace.
next is my partner in crime. his name is Harry Eyeball, or Harold James Eyeball when he is in trouble. if anyone is wondering, yes he rules our flying field... he is a rat terrier mix i rescued from the pound and life would't be right without out him.

oopps, completely forgot about this....
gonna take some work to get CG, either that or a B.A. battery. i'm gonna add some structure and see if i can get a little closer. hope i don't have to jump up to bigger motors, would like to keep this cheap and easy.

Imagine slope soaring a gigantic paper airplane. I know the guys at my Part 107 class would get a kick out of it when class starts up again.

I've already got too many projects, once I get some room I'll probably do it. I imagine it would handle very similarly to Vimana89's Arrowhead.a slope soaring paper airplane would be epic! now you gotta do it.
