Hello everyone. new guy here

[Danridge]

Hi,
This is my first post on these forums. But I have been following Flite Test for a year or so.
After seeing all of the nice builds I decided to try it myself.
I built the Bloody Baron first, and just completed the Tiny Trainer except for the electronics which are ordered.
Does anyone know how far back the CG is on the wing of the Tiny Trainer?
Here is a picture of what I've done so far. I hope to get them in the air soon.

Nice looking birds!!! I just ordered a Tiny Trainer. Did you paint those or monocote/tape them?

 

[Danridge]

Thank you dvx216 for the CG info.
French, I covered the planes with color packing tape.

They look nice. I just tried my first airbrush paint job. Not too good at it yet

Mike, I would like to try airbrushing sometime. Does it damage the foam at all?
I noticed that you are in Maryland, I live in Elkton Md.

I would love to start building. where do you get your Styrofoam from?

 

[Danridge]

Hunter, it is dollar tree foam board from dollar tree.

Hunter,
The build wasn't too bad. I didn't buy the kit, I just bought the foam board and downloaded the plans.
I think taping all the plan pages together was the worst part.
This is the first time I have ever attempted anything like this, just take your time and you will be fine.
There are a lot of good people in the forums that are willing to answer any questions you might have.
