Ultimate Cheap Skate
This is the build thread where I, Daniel Kezar, will be posting my build progress for the Simple Cub, Simple Scout, Old Fogey, and 80% Versa Wing that i am building for the FTFC Build-Ruary Challenge.
i think i am about skill level 2(novice) for both building and flying.
I want to build the simple scout because it looks like a good 4 channel trainer.
i want to build the simple cub because i want to minwax it and put it on floats for the snow and it just looks like a good all around plane for doing bomb drops and the like.
i want to build the old fogey because i like the simpler older planes and it looks fun.
i want to build an 80% versa wing because i haven't built a wing yet and i think it will be a good challenge. 80% size bc i only have power pack b not c.
as an extra i may try to do a smaller scale baby blender because it is a cool little biplane and i loved the original blender episode. that was awesome. "a little mtn dew..." haha.
i dont know what scale to bring it down to for the power pack b so im open to suggestions. maybe 70%?
