FTFC24: Buildruary Build-off Challenge

[Zetoyoc]

I just realized i have plans to build several twins... I might have to rethink this.. i think i can find enough matching motors. but i just realized i probably dont have the escs for it... time to start scrounging up some bits.

yea I'm afraid this may be my problem as well - might end up pirating some motors and escs from other builds just to get stuff in the air. Luckily servos are a plenty right now

I just got my foam board! Sadly my printer is struggling with its ink absorber pad so I need to trick it into working before I lose too much time.

 

[FoamyDM]

@LitterBug Yes it is!
I have set up some build night online parties on the Aviation RC Noob Podcast Discord.
Invitations posted shortly.
