I am just rebuilding, upgrading, and finishing a bunch of old projects this year. So many unfinished, crashed, and sidelined from the past, no need for "new" builds this year.
More like ReTuneuary and Finishuary for me!
Finishuary…that is awesome. I think you just coined the next best thing. It should be an annual parallel challenge along with Build-ruary.

Agree with Yankee2003, you should start a"Finish-ruary" segment. I have a least 3 or more to finish up.

Hmmm. Not a bad idea.
Is anyone else interested in a "finish that project" type of challenge separate from Build-ruary?

Like finishing your failed build-ruary projects in finish-pril.

Might be on track to participate in that one!

Every time I have heard the story of the Tortoise and the Hare……the tortoise 🐢 always wins. I think you are setting yourself up perfectly for the win.

One week down. My first project is mostly framed up with a lot of detail work left.
The other two haven't been started.
20 days left!

I am just digging in, plugging away, and getting the hanger in order. WAY too many projects to list but I have made some serious progress over the last few weeks. Mostly been working on my multirotors and EZ bronco by @AgentC . Sorting, organizing, combining boxes of parts/kits etc... Had no idea how many projects I've started, and am trying to prioritize oldest to newest. Have a heavy lift 650 quad from 2016 that I finished up tonight. Rebuilt my Tiny Whoop Fleet, Fixed a quad that the USB port got ripped off when I dropped it with the USB cord plugged in, ripping off the USB connector. Tacked on an old USB cable to the signal pads on the board, reflashed, and configured it. Was also able to set up a spare serial port for future configuration so I could removed the hobbled usb cable.
Need to fix up my crash damaged FT mini Dart and FT Cub. Also reworking my FT Gremlins, and FT 270.
Migrated my FlexRC Owl 3" quad frames and ShenDrones Danaus frames from my DX8 to my TX16S transmitter. Updated and recalibrated firmware along the way.
I'll have to make a pile of all the fun and post up a pic. Might be plausible to make a "spring" "Finish those projects" thread.
Cheers!

That's incredible. Looks just like it! Do I recall correctly, this is an indoor plane?
I think the battery in the picture might kill your weight allowance.

i am not sure if my working on all 4 planes at once in an assembly line style is good or healthy. a week in and I don't have too much to show. but 4 planes printed and cut from foam ready to start assembling. but I suppose in the last 3-4 days of the month ill go from no planes to 4 planes all at once. fingers crossed
