Giant Scale - Builds:

[Headbang]

Right! So a 3D Mig might be in the works then?!

Hmmmmm totally possible. But after I finish the indoor 2d-3d edge, timber 110, viggin, northern pike, old fogey, new x29, and 3d seaduck

So, like next week then?

I'm just thinking I would like to have a plan ready to implement when I get the foam... at an est. $9/sheet I would like to conserve on Costs
I also would like to see Successful flight, and not a dud. we have a fun fly event at my local field that I would very much enjoy having something like this ready for.
3D would be easy, but I am not the pilot for it. the asymmetrical design is RIGHT up my alley, but a bit too risky for big foam...

I Giant Old Fogey would be fun

Maybe the best way to use the Thick Maker Foam is to use it for structure, and skin with DTFB... Foam should be in early next week.

here is my old cap 232, i built this back in 2015 its 103" wingspan and was powered by a turnigy 1.60 brushless. i had this at flite fest after i got it done, it flew great

Beautiful craftsmanship

Here are some pictures of my 65% Pitts S1 build, I'm still working on it, the specs are wingspan 126" its almost true scale. i estimate the flying weight around 40 lbs and powered by a 150cc brushless electric motor.

That's one big gaffer you have there, How much does he eat?

 

[billyshaw22]

lol everything in from of him

You said you are using a 150CC electric equivalent, what does that look like

That is awesome!

here it is next to a rimfire 65cc motor

 

[BATTLEAXE]

Look at this the man uses a Rimfire! Sweet, big fan of the Rimfire. What battery would you use on something that big?

 

[FoamyDM]

@billyshaw22 I like your plan storage technique. and that is one SERIOUS motor. how heavy are the finished craft? oh, I see, 40lbs... what's the battery situation like... few of us here have even glimpsed into this realm.

 

[billyshaw22]

i wish rimfire would make a bigger motor, they have been my go to motors! This plane is set up for 14s 10,000mah, basically four 6s 5000. as far as weight i don't have that yet, i'm still finishing it, but my estimate is around 40 lbs. i am in the middle of building a 12 foot candy drop plane right now, but when i get it done i will go back to the pitts and get it finished up.

@billyshaw22 you have some amazing builds!!
I’m also a big rimfire fan - @BATTLEAXE got me into them

My dads friend built this beast, and gave it to us!

Can you even fly that? It's not a 3D plane

I would love to have that, for someone to just give it to you thats amazing
