You can tell something’s about to transpire when a Noob like me is lurking around a cleaned up bench. It’s build #3 & it’s going to be a Simple Sailor. I’ll call it ‘Slow Ride’ & pray that no lawsuit comes forth from Foghat. Not exactly a scratch build, but I’m doing it from tiled plans out of DTFB with a modified wing & hopefully a better finish than build #2 (The Bloody Mess). I painted build #1 (A Bloody Baron kit) & promised never to grab a spray can again. Then @BATTLEAXE convinced me to break that promise to myself & go for a better finish with oil based MinWax polyurethane precoat instead of the waterbase MinWax. I’ll abide by the plans for the fuselage, tail & swappable power pack ‘B’. With the swappable power pack ‘B’ I can cross pollinate using the power components I already built for the Bloody Mess. I ordered four 13 gr metal geared servos so it might get ailerons on a tapered true airfoil wing (Thank you Experimental Airlines Noob Channel). I’m slowly working my way toward doing for real scratch builds & now building a model I might even be able to fly without a buddy box flight instructor. There’s some distant possibility that this design might last more than one flight, maybe, sorta. Figure9
