I've never even thought about doing that but it makes sense, it would save weight!

Is this the PDF you are looking for?

Have fun!

And here is the article https://www.flitetest.com/articles/ft-tiny-trainer-fuselage-modification

Thanks guys, I did not see that article, that could be an option too. What I was looking at was by Henry in 2017 and referenced by @Hai-Lee in 2019 in his mods list. Anyone have that and the cog point?

Oh nice! I may have to build one of these for the aileron wings that came with the FT Trainer someone gave me a while back. 2 trainers to get crayzee with!

Cheers!

Sadly I did not save that version!
As for the balance point it is the wing used that determines the balance point. Use the exact same balance point as marked on the plans for the wings.

Have fun!

Tiny Trainer seaplane. I have no idea if this will work. But I remain optimistic. I made the floats removable so I can adjust for CG. This thing is an old veteran so I don't mind if it ends in a watery grave. Should get a maiden tomorrow, will film and post results.

Ha Haaaaa! Beautiful! I can't wait for the video and to hear how it flew!

For those interested in the 120% extended wing with flaps, here is a link to the plans. i guess if you wanted to make it at normal size you could make it 83% which would get you close to the normal scale.

I'm slowly teaching myself to use Inkscape so i can adjust the fuselage score cut lines to make future 120% builds much quicker as i dare say i will be making this beauty again! I will post those plans here as well.

Maiden! I still need to improve the waterproofing as on the second landing I dunked the nose into the water and I think the elevator needs straightening, but it flies!

I think I need to tackle my TT for the Build-ruray so I can have one to post on here!

Amazing landing!

Beautiful flight! I loved that landing, too. The TT really looks good, landing with the floats. Too cool.

I think it'd really benefit from flaps to slow it's approach
