So if I only do one?
it could be an aluminum fuse lining -well it looks like i'm not actually going on holiday
You would be farther along and 1/3 of the folks who attempt it. and you would have a plane (and fun with the rest of us building fools!)

Ah well lets give it a go I guess.
Do I have to state the aircraft I'm making?

I don't know exactly what planes I'll build... But I have an idea as to what types
Yes, but you aren't stuck with it. For example, I stated that I was going to make the F-22 by Grifflyer and the Kalinin K-7. I am not sure this will be on the table this year, instead I will be building the Q2 Quickie, and the HangarRC's Wasp that I have had for a while.
as per the instructions, Declare what you think you'll build, make a Build page (share the link so others can follow you), and started your Build log. They are in the instructions. Then Show us what you are up to every so often here.

I just realised how many projects I have on the go I need to finish, and how little FB I have. I will make it my goal to participate next year.

Two of my 4 planes were started and had been set aside. If you get some projects flying that otherwise might have sat around for months, thats a win in itself. And if you show us nosey people pictures maybe we'll learn something and everybody wins.

I think ima join. As much as I hate building. I want to focus on slow, boxy planes. STOL style. A little smaller is what I’m aiming for. I believe I have two b packs laying around, the plane I like the best I’m going to put fpv on.

its for a pack but scaling it up should be good
(i built mine at 130 percent and then motor mount went boom)

This is the fuse/hull I made last month that will be for my Dornier mashup thing. Im making the wing like @Dr. Looping Looie 's Windpuff but Im going to put the motors on the flaps like the Dornier Do29.

shrubsmacker looks like the right size. Or a bush biplane maybe.
