FTFC23: Buildruary Build-off Challenge

[Yankee2003]

I completely forgot about valentines day and I wanted to finish the Su-26 tonight... Maybe I still can, she always forgets about valentines day anyway, it's pancake day she really cares about!

Who doesn’t like Pancake Day?

"They" only say, it's ok that you forgot. But they never forget that you forgot!

They do when it takes you to remind them it's even valentine's day in the first place! 😂

I was in the office today (which is a 1.7 hour commute) so I got back quite late and my partner and I tried to hash a date out of what we had left of the evening. So unfortunately, I do not have a complete plane for our halfway day. But I do have something resembling one:

Wow, that looks incredible.

I wrapped up my first build. 13 days left to build the other 3

Nano Scout built!
I didn't add any incidence for the motor, so have already added trim to compensate, but I expect some torque-roll when maiden-day comes.

 

[FoamyDM]

I updated the VAS build

Maiden flight vid:

I also have been updating other builds too.
I may have substituted the B-2 with a F-117 nighthawk, prop and slot model and turned it into an edf bird... Stay tuned.

I highly recommend trying a left-handed throw when hand launching. Launches like this are the reason, sometimes you just need your hand on the right stick sooner. Glad it worked out; this one seems to fly very nicely.

Looks fantastic! You've bought the rights to give the other three basic coloured-tape jobs now! 😁

Looking good. Loving the spinner on the scout. What colour scheme will the fogey be getting?

I’m gonna join today, but probably only gonna get 2 planes built.

And of course I’m gonna have to give the shameless plug, if you want to see the progress check out my YT channel, it’s in my signature.
