I'm pretty sure that I don't have a chance.

Who knows? This one has never been built before. And takes 14 sheets of foam

That is why I went with what I thought was going to be KISS, but already, design challenges are popping up in my head. You don't just double everything. We'll need a wood spare, as the tail feather servos will end up being handled more like the FT 3D XL than the original Simple Scout.
This is while it is in my head, who knows, once I try to design it!

We do these things not because they are easy but because we thought they would be easy.

Yeah, I have a lot of old arrows so I think I will be putting those in the control surfaces to keep them stiff and not flex and flutter.

Done cutting! It's a mountain of parts

Good! I'm going to start building tonight!

 

[Mr Man]

The P-40 is coming along. And it’s huge 😂

It makes the Triplane XL in the background look tiny!! j/k

My table must be the size of a drywall sheet then. 😆

Nice! I think my XL Radjet is close in size....Hard to tell, because I am finding pictures don't do the plane justice to how big it actually is!)

 

[Houndpup Rc]

At least in length.....Yours is bigger around!

Yeah, I don’t know the total length yet.
