Hey guys. I'm Richard Ellis age 25, current occupation is Army Sniper, been serving since 2006. I just got into this hobby after seeing UAV and Raven RQ-11's being used first hand during my deployment in Afghanistan. I am interesting in the foam board building and eventually be comfortable enough to build my own FPV platform and a cool tactical ground station that I can take to the field with me when I am training to see if the Army will let me use my own equipment. I just started building foam board planes with watching Ed's channel on youtube and then downloaded plans from flitetest guys and built the FT3D, pretty cool plans and were very easy to follow. I still have no Transmitter or reciever yet or anything that is electronic, like I said I am brand new to this hobby, but already searched the past last month on what kind of setup I had in mind. I am going to start out with a simple Transmitter/Reciever "FS-TH9X" from Hobbypartz.com $79. A 3300mah Li-Po, a decent charger. Simple 200mw FPV kit from hobbyking.com and so on.
Heres my first scratch builds: last 8 pics are of my 84inch custom wing for a huge glider i want to build, or I will just put it on my RQ-11 fuselage and extend the boom.
