@The Hangar we should both build this

I know, I’m considering it, but I have sooo many other projects already lined up. We’ll see though.

I have quite a few lined up too. But that isn't stopping me lol

Definitely tail heavy, look at how much it drops the tail in turns especially. Great presence in the air; I love it.

It keeps the scale lines beautifully! It definitely looked tail heavy. Also, when the updated plans are posted I am printing it! If it isn't this week, I will have to wait a couple weeks as the printer is at my dad's house and he is going on vacation. I am psyched!

I am finaizing it now and will upload them in a bit. I removed some pieces that aren't used just gonna add the optional wheel pants, and that's it. So they should be up in an hour.

Ok so I have updated the resource with the new plans but since it needs to be approved by the admins it might take a bit to get approved thus I'll upload them here too.

Hey I’ll tell you what - I’ll build one of these and take it to Flitefest and get the ft crew to fly it and sign it. Then if you want to pay the shipping cost, I’ll send it to you! What do you think about that @mayan ?

That would do me a great amount of honor. Thank You!

EDIT: I would prefer in that case that @SquirrelTail flys one before you build it so we both can clean it up as best we can .

Yeah, well I don’t know if @SquirrelTail will get his done in time at the rate he builds... Just kidding - Flitefest is still a few months away (in July) so I’m guessing that you’ll have the final version by then.

It's pretty close to being final, just not sure it flies as good as the first version I built flew. Can't figure it out thats why I'd love anyones feedback on flying it.

I’ll see if I can fit one into my build schedule.

In addition to the one I’ll take to Flitefest.

Thank you my friend! It is gonna be a slow-er build since I have never tackled a project like this.

Quick thing to mention when you install Th servos on the wing make sure to install them before you fold over the wing. Especially if you do the flaps version too which is optional .
