Got the paint job for the racer and bloody baron done in the construction site that we now call home.
Also got to maiden them both under crappy conditions, too much wind
. Now that I have maidened a few birds and have made some what of a major progress on most of the build list I’ll start posting about each bird on it’s dedicated post.
I am also going to continue building more birds today probably in this order; TT wings and power pod to relive and existing fuselage (a plane that belongs to my son), the FT Charlie, My own Paper Airplane design. Starting the TT wing and power pod right now.

Yesterday I got a bit more building in and manage to tear down this old TT wing and power pod just so I can rebuild it. This is part of a TT that I use to train my son with. On one of our outings we broke the wing in half, I later repaired it but it never flew the same. Thanks to build Ruary it got built sooner than later.
I also managed to start building an FT Charlie as well. Didn’t get to far in the build although I could have easily finished it during my night shift last night if I hadn’t had to stay up after the shift for more construction work in our house and around it.

It’s the 3rd time I’ve built this model so much better this time around. Although I think it’s not easy to get the front nose section formed takes a few times of doing to get prefect.

Alright that’s it I am all in, just finished the Long EZ the last plane on my build list. I don’t know if I’ll push to continue the rest of the planes on my list now simply because I don’t have any more spare electronics considering they are all connected to some plane. I might take out some electronics out of some plane just so I can build one more plane on my list, but we’ll see tomorrow got to sleep this thought through.

Alright so I have been able to fix up a bit of the electronics that were in my trash bag so I'll be pushing to get at least two more planes built before the end of the month and the challenge. Going to go with the FT22 and replacing the broken wing of the Howard DGA-6. Starting with the FT22 now .

I know, same. I have Corsair parts spread out over the floor right now... I have no idea how I’m gonna get one more done though - maybe I can finish the pietenpol I count out a while ago. That shouldn’t be too hard...

I'll get two more built, maybe not a maiden (since we have a little more time on that) and the weather is garbage! I got my two hard ones out of the way early, my last two should be easy by comparison!
Awesome! What are the other two?

One is a tiny trainer (with some mods of course) the other is going to be either the FT Bushwacker or Mini Cruiser, haven't decided...
Nice, any of those should be fun!

I've never done either, but both look fun! I want to do the Cruiser as a sub 250 FPV (since I've done a lot of those, just never done a flitetest foamie one...)

So knocked out a few steps on the FT22 and will probably continue with that tomorrow in between decorations and painting of planes I have to decorate. I am waiting with maidens on almost all my builds because of bad weather and a missing camera man. This is where I am at currently.

Another one down and off the list missing only paint is the DGA-6. I just finished the missing wing, and made the wing chord a bit taller than the original plan. I want to see how this effects the flight characteristics of the model and if I like it more than the other setup. Updates about that will be posted on that dedicated thread when available.
