FT Goblin Build Log:

Printed and stitched together plans.

Do’s and Don’ts: Do cut out the spar further for the servo, as it will sink in more reducing drag and will increase ease of assembly.

‘Started on wings. I sunk the servos down further so they are flush with wing.

Fuselage assembly.

Everything is now dry fitted.

Alright! Nose made and everything glued.

I’ve got a 70a bi-directional esc in there.

There’s a Detrum 2815 2700kv in the fuse.

MS Gee Bee by @Mr Man ,

Do’s and Don’ts: Do hunk out some foam where the aileron servos go, otherwise it won’t work, Don’t glue anything in upside down like I did, I had to cut it off and redo it.

@Grifflyer Hotliner.
Printed and stitched together plans:


Do’s and Don’ts: Do use two servos for the wing, just hunk out some foam so they are flush, Do install the elevator servo in the bottom of the fuselage, it makes it very accessible. Don’t use one servo for the wing like I did, it made it very difficult to install the battery.

.

Fuselage glued up.

Horizontal stabilizer on.

Elevator finished.

Starting on wings, that’s a fiberglass spar from a kite.

Fuselage finished, I needed to custom make front nose top piece, as well as motor mount.

Wing finished as well, I used the chart below to figure out single servo ailerons.

It’s finished! Just needs paint.

Mini Arrow build log.

Spars built, interesting how everything is an A folds in this.

Do’s and Don’ts: Do install the receiver inside the wing spar, as it will free up a ton of room in the fuselage, Also, cut out a hole for esc and glue it in, it will have amazing airflow. Don’ts, Don’t forget to cut out the small hatches in the underside of the wing.

Wings joined, I’m starting to like the arrow!

Spars in and wings glued down.

Centerpod installed.

Electronics in.

 

[Mr Man]

FT Spitfire with speedwing.

Motor compared with power pack C equivalent.
Do’s and Don’ts, Do add a speedwing, your performance will increase drastically, and also upgrade your spar with the one @nerdnic uses in his planes, Don’ts: Don’t glue the wingtips till last.

Fuselage started.

Formers and wing.

Speedwing mod.

A closer look.

Servo cutout.

Swappable power pod.

@Mr Man / @flitetest Speedwing. Scaled down to 65% for my 2207.5 2750kv motor. (I know, a lotta power).

Have you ever tried packing tape?

Have you ever tried packing tape?

It would go quicker and its clear so you can see the lines

Yes, that’s what I did for my normal Speedwing, it’s also a lot stronger.

No, he means have you ever used packing tape for taping your plans together? (the stuff without threads)

Ah, I see, yes I normally do, but I’m almost out, and I had a full roll of painters tape. And I get more than one chance to get it lined up.

 

[Mr Man]

Mini Speedwing done! Goblin just needs paint and control horns now.

@FoamyDM when you tried to build the gee bee with smooth master series curves, did it work?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Hey @Mr Man hows your builds coming along?

 

[Mr Man]

Hey @Mr Man hows your builds coming along?

Well, not good.

 

[Mr Man]

That’s the gee bee, didn’t work, any ideas for a new plane? (Preferably Extremely fast)

I’m running a 3536 and a 60a esc, a 10x7 prop FOR STARTERS.
