How’s it fly?
shrubsmacker >>>>> kitfox
so if you want a good flying experience, go shrubbie
if you want scale and a challenge to try to make it fly, go kitfox
(kitfox is still in beta only cause the beta builders have had some really bad flight tendencies)
Kitfox V5 is coming out soon and should fly better and be more durable too
also I'm currently building the kitfox that will be used as a test for possible fixes to the issues (most likely its just a CG problem)

  1. FT Viggen. Mostly done, but need to cut a new wing.
  2. FT Simple Stick. Mostly Done
  3. FT BloOdy Wonder. Unwrapped
  4. FT Explorer. Still wrapped
Count me in!

I'll keep printing but build the Eclipson 3D printed stuff in March/April
