Still an awesome resource - thanks for keeping it relevant! I saw somewhere ratings for models for how hard the model is to build (build skill) and how hard to pilot (Pilot skill) with like a 1-5 rating. Those are additional fields that be nice to have in this resource... of course I can't find where I saw those ratings - so I'm not much help.

Thanks for the idea will add it when I have spare time on one of my night shifts. It appears on the plans.

I love the resource.

One head's up: The link to the Google Sheet doesn't work well, since it is the publish to HTML version. The frozen rows and columns don't work and neither do the images. I recommend trying it out in incognito mode to see what we are seeing.

Here is some info for the FT Dart:

• Dry Weight: 181g
• Wingspan: 622mm
• CG: 108g
• Throw: 12 deg
• Expo: 30 pct
• Plans: http://s3.amazonaws.com/plans.flitetest.com/FT_Dart_v1.0_Full-Size.pdf

Thanks for the tip and info. Will check it out in incognito and update the dart info too.

Could you add the FT Stem Pizza Box Challenge / FT Slice?

Yeah I will, but just so you know it’s the same like the Mini Arrow and it could be a fun experience for you to try do the conversion by your own, you’ll surely learn a lot.

about the notes of "park-" motors... the given equivelents here:

A1504 2900kv (13g) Brushless Motor (Park 180 Equiv.)
A1510 2200kv Brushless Motor (Park 250 Eq)
2204/14 1400kv Brushless Motor (Park 300 Eq)
2208/12 1800kv Brushless Motor (Park 370 Eq.)
2212/10 1400kv Brushless Motor (Park 400 Eq)
2212/6 2200kv Brushless Motor (Park 400 Eq)
3520/6 840kv Brushless Motor (Power 32 Eq)
2808 1020kv (park 480 Eq)

Thanks for the add. You just made this resource even better.

I hear you, The Pizza Box Challenge (FT Slice) isn't the only way to make a small variation on a wing, or a smaller variation on the Arrow. However, I like the idea that a plan is already there and has been verified, and then riff on that. Kinda like the value of the Dart compared to the Kraken.

I don't build a lot, and have limited space, so before I build I like to get a sense of the scale (wingspan), weight (AUW), available thrust, motor+prop, etc.

It looks like the Arrow and Slice build differently (separate wing sections vs unified wing), have different wingspans (737mm vs 560mm), and use different motors (1806 vs 1106).

Maybe I'm misunderstanding something... I've been contemplating the Arrow vs Dart vs Slice.

Thanks! That answers a lot of things.

I’ll add it later today after coming back from the field. What is your flying experience with a flying wing? Maybe I can suggest something better.

@mayan the battery size for the DR1, is very incorrect.... it doesn't seem to fit a 2400mah 3s.... plans say 800mah 3s... i think.. but u might want to double check that
