Great flight.. while it lasted.

Looks like as a bi plane there's just too much lift when you've got double the wing area - angling the prop down a tick helps with this.

My favourite part was how you swiftly turned it back into a regular mini scout. 😂

[mackaiver]

[mackaiver]

but this challenge was a lot of fun thanks @FoamyDM

 

[FoamyDM]

I'm so glad to hear. That's what this challenge is about you got a couple more planes and you had a blast making them. Thank you for taking part and I hope you try it again next year.

Which has been your favorite build so far?
How confident were you at the beginning that you finished these?

Looks like you were a bit heavy on the paint, but it looked good!
