Looking good! I'm eager to see how the Sea Duckling does - what motors are you planning on using?

Boy, looking at these two pictures really accentuates how much they had to stretch the nose on the master series to get this plane to balance.

Anybody know anything about attaching spinners? I have a dubro spinner I want to put on my simple stick but it seems the motor shaft is too short. It's an FT B-pack radial.

Check the latest flitetest tech channel video, it’s about making spinners.

lot's of "quad" motors don't have long enough shafts to use spinners. not much to be done other than build your like mentioned above. just use thinner ply and smaller foam to start with.
good luck,

paint is done. top is obviously high glow yellow, bottom is satin black just like my balsa Deamon.
i also just realized i had not posted this yet. pizza box wing with a kingkong 1306-3100kv, 4x3x4.5 prp, 6A esc, 3S-300mah.
CG is not really posted anywhere that i could find. i tried to calculate in ecalc but did not agree with their numbers. first flight was wild, i could fly it but it did some funky things. i moved CG back and inch and tried again. this time it was much better. flight was cut short due to ESC overheating. so, i brought home and put the esc on top , outside of the wing, and glued the weights on. flew sunday and it was perfect. fun little wing and pretty quick. i would estimate 60+ mph.
still got 37 sheets of foam board left. what to do next....

Wow that really is pretty! I gotta make me a P-47 - I have the plans printed and I started taping the tiled pages together but never finished. Now @Rasterize you were wondering how those smaller decals would look on a P-47...also just got this sent to me.

Me and @"Corpse" flew our Simple Sticks this morning together! We had a blast! It was a bit windy so we had fun crabbing and doing vertical landings! Upon the last landing my firewall popped off but I’ll fix it and we’re planning on going out again tomorrow morning! Also, my bullet connectors came down so I’ll solder up another esc for the @BATTLEAXE kitfox and see if that solves the issue I was having. I’ll probably fly it tomorrow too.

Good options. If you want something a bit different but super simple and takes very little time and foam, you can always slap together an Arrowhead. Plans are by @Grifflyer ,of course, so high quality. You could always browse Outerzone and find something interesting, or look at historical planes and try something nobody's really bothered to do before(De Havilland Dragon anyone?)

That's another great plane!
