That's a good looking stable! I like your Mountain Scout a lot. It looks like it would fly pretty docile for a Mini Scout derivative. I liked the Mini Scout platform so much, I made a biplane out of it.My Mini scouts as requested.

I like the mountain scout, colors are great. You like the slow fly stuff judging by the collection. Have you had the Storch up yet?My Mini scouts as requested.

I thought it was all luck and magicwho can actually fly....
I haven't built the Mig 3 yet, I was going to but did the P-40 instead. I have seen its a pretty tough plane as well. Are you going to do a build thread on it?Lol, now I’m gonna try to fly the TT hard. I think you’re right about the slow flying. The park I’m at is pretty popular so I don’t want to get to out of control while I learn. But I’m putting a mig 3 together now, so I’m gonna go fast! The storch flies really well. It’s floaty and even when it’s a hard landing it seems to want to go lightly.
So. Many. Planes! I want to build them all! The P-40 looks solid and fun to fly! I’ll definitely do a build thread on the Mig 3, maybe it’ll be called “Foam your Eyes only” or “ Foam Russia with Love” 😉I haven't built the Mig 3 yet, I was going to but did the P-40 instead.

Those both are awesome names for the thread. When are you planning on building the Mig?So. Many. Planes! I want to build them all! The P-40 looks solid and fun to fly! I’ll definitely do a build thread on the Mig 3, maybe it’ll be called “Foam your Eyes only” or “ Foam Russia with Love” 😉
The great thing about the Scout is that it's a blank canvas to play with, so many mods you can do to it. If you have perused though this thread you can see what I did to mine. @Marty72 built his stock and both fly great. There are plenty of 3D printed things to play with for landing gear to firewalls to engine heads and stacks. The firewall would be a good one, the landing gear I have seen are kinda chunky looking but effective. On thingyverse you will see a bunch of stuff to get creative with.Starting a Simple Scout speed build kit in a couple of days. Are there a y 3D printed parts worth using?
Was thinking a powerpod/firewall and landing gear?
Looks great, you have some nice flying space. Did you get any video?Took the mountain scout to the mountain this morning before work. Beat the wind by about 20 minutes. View attachment 147045 View attachment 147046
Thanks! This morning was kind of a fluke. The weather turned out right and I was going to be there for the day anyways! I did grab a few moments with my phone but I haven’t created a YouTube acct yet so no videos, yet. I was able to fix some rudder issues last night and try it out again. I’m thinking the longer wings are really keeping the rudder from doing any strong movements. It just lazily turns unless I give it some elevator. I’m interested in the aleron mods that were mentioned earlier, too. My landings are not so disastrous anymore and nailed a couple of three points today. 🥳Looks great, you have some nice flying space. Did you get any video?
Does the servo go in cockpit and over the top or in the wing and under?Once you go ailerons you will never go back my friend, it's a solid suggestion... who said that? Oh it was me lol
But I’m putting a mig 3 together

This is my Mini Scout here, man Its been awhile since I have flown this:Does the servo go in cockpit and over the top or in the wing and under?
Thanks for that heads up! I have noticed a lot of the reinforcements that people are creating. I’ll definitely try those out!Double wall the fuselage under the power pod and ahead of the wings on the mig3 I would also add jumbo craft sticks on each side. I think that is a weak area. I would do that on all the planes I build really if possible
I really like the battery loading on the mig3. Made the mustang the same way
