I have one scratch build project, Bristol Fighter F2b and receiving both criticism and other feedback, which I explained in my bio why it is hard for me to accept, but I do accept it and greatly do appreciate it, since there are no actual RC Plans for either the Bristol or the Nieuport 24, I've had to create it from sight of images of the plane or from videos done of flying replicas.
Then my first one is the Nieuport 24 in a large scale, waiting for a proper scale to be bought to weigh it for proper power pack.
Since I'm home bound, I have my dad pick up the foam board from Dollar General, small wood dowel rods the size of bbq skewers, tape and hot glue. Also I use the cardboard shipping boxes as well. My mom always said, "Andy never goes to do something small, when he does something, he does it big." The Nieuport without the proper measuring tools, it is a tad non center, but the Bristol is properly center.
Just sitting at the dining room table, some old movie on from TMC or a Catholic Film on to listen to while I build, I'm enjoying the experience, even the ups and downs, plus the creating things when something doesn't look right or fit right.
Since I can't travel well to large air shows, I turn to Youtube and watch the flights of the old planes on the Historical Aviation Film Unit and it is here that I saw these two world war one planes and wanted to build them for RC flight, also since in November is the 100th year Anniversary for the end of World War One, what better way to honor the World War One Aces than to build their planes and fly them.
I'm sorry if I act rude to some comments, when I build, I do not intend to make them poorly, but want to do them right, but they are first two builds and working without actual RC Plans, and having to use the actual blue prints if I can find them, to make them into RC Planes, if no plans, then what I find in google photos or by the Youtube channel I watch to see them fly.
