FTFC24: Build-ruary by Matthew aka Bush Hawk RC

Do i have time to even think about building, heck no.
Is that going to stop me from trying ?? NEVER !!!!
let the challenge begin


FTFC24: Build-ruary by Matthew aka Bush Hawk rc (Build Skill: 4 Skilled, Pilot SKill: 4-5 depending on the day)
#1 13th squadron MXS https://www.13thsquadron.com/mxs.html|
#2 13th squadron DH88 COmet https://www.13thsquadron.com/dh88-comet.html
#3 Bush wacker on floats
#4 sea angel
#5 Baby blender on floats (this is very iffy, as i don't know if it has the performance i'm after) Super stick on floats

#6 maybe 13th squadron spacewalker
#7 Maybe 3d printed 3dlab print saab draken

all of the above will be used as a basis, but the end results will probably be completely different, except for the comet, that is one perfectly designed plane
@Niez13 same for Jack's MXS

thanks man, seriously looking forward to the mxs,
you don't by any chance have an stl for the cowl do you? i don't mind building one as per the plans, but a printed one would be a lot cleaner 😅

I unfortunately do not. That does make me wonder how hard it would be to design one though. The good thing is as long as you double check the process to go about making the cowling, it should be smooth sailing. The other important detail mentioned on the plans is to try and keep the back side walls of the tail as flat as possible. This just makes the plane more symmetrical and increases yaw performance when doing a knife edge as an example. I will definitely be watching this thread but let me know about any other questions or ideas.

Depending on how manageable you are with all the pieces your going to need six sheets of foamboard. You could maybe get away with five sheets but would be safer with six sheets.
