it was July 4 2021 when i had my first ever flight with my 130% ft old speedster.
since then i have gone through a variety of planes,
ft old speedster
kaddy (my design, and the plane that taught me how to fly)
dr loopin looies opel rak
3 x ft simple scouts
2x f-18 profile jets
1x yak profile jet
I still have 2 scouts, the opel rak remaining from this list.
but as of now my flying hangar is @The Hangar 's simple stick, bloody baron, mini kaddy.
current airframes needing to be flown, ft bushwacker, and a 200% @Dr. Looping Looie 's dornier libelle.
that in a nutshell describes my current status.
but now for the dark stuff.........
NITRO!
.
a few months ago i got gifted a .46 thunder tiger pro engine, now I have gotten it up and running, and I have started on a plane for it.
I'm taking inspiration from @BlockerAviation 's build of the giant foamie cub with a 4stroke engine, and I will be building a 40 size stick from foam to take this new engine.
I'm hoping it will fly well, but one thing I'm certain of is that it will not be underpowered.
anyways, i'll be posting all updates here, i hope it is useful information and y'all can find it interesting .
oh yes another update, i have upgraded my radios to a Futaba T8J, and my brother has a Turnigy 9XR, with spectrum modules (both dsmx and dsm2)
boy but they are way nicer than the 35mhz radios,,, the 35 mhz ones still work great. but the controls arent super smooth.
oh yes and a question... what plane should i build next? or one of the ones that aren't flying which one should i equip?
