Did the maiden go well?

So designing in Sketch Up is okay?
As to rule 3, would a picture of the single sheet of DTF after being cut by a needle cutter be acceptable, if accompanied by a ready for maiden picture is submitted as well?

That would work

Hi,
Heres my 2/3 sheet of foam and some copy paper build that I made right at the beginning of the quarantine. I sadly didnt take a super early picture, but in the pictures you can see how its constructeted from scratch (didnt use plans, but a three-view)
Its a Henschel Hs P.87 , a German bomber concept from WWII.
I first made a profile-plane, then I cut out some ribs to form the body and then I covered it with normal copy paper. I also made a spinner and painted it completing the look. The cool thing is that its completely closed, so its master series looks on a mighty mini scale (20"wingspan, around Long EZ size). Its powered by a cheap chinese motor-ESC combo that spins the prop from a toy quadcopter. Battery is 350mAh 2S, flying weight is 109 gramms.
Its pretty fast for its size and quick on rolls.
Flight video:
I hope you like it although it doesnt really meet rule 3.

Have a wing started, have to decide what I'm powering it with now...
I'm thinking I'll do a little 1s differential thrust setup with old quad parts. I think I'll just do an elevator, no ailerons, no rudder...

yep. just you cant build from existing FT plans or other pre-made plans. i.e. Local fiend, Mid7night, Sponz, etc

No problem with that. It is a KFM-2 plane made with Flite Test style fuselage.

Nice. Cant wait to see the final result
So I can make plans for my SR-71 in illustrator and print them out and build it?

Toyed with some fuselage ideas this morn... I'll have plenty of board left for do overs! Lol
I'm leaving the wing tips unfinished in case I need to extend them for a bit more lift. Working with these little brushed parts makes you walk a very fine line between lift, drag, and weight.

Like this? used some scrap foamboard and some servos and a power pack B.
Havent flown it yet because its kinda windy here. did a glide test and its a little unstable but I think it will fly.

@Ranger_107 think you need a bit more prop...
You know... that's something a lot of folks overlook, the prop to wingspan ratio...

I think I'll call her the ugly duckling...
Barely more than 2/3rds of a sheet, she comes in at 79 grams without the battery. The quad that the motors came from weighed about 85 grams so I have some hope that shes got enough power to fly. It will be interesting to see if the differential thrust alone will be enough control to keep her in the air.
Hopefully I'll get a maiden in tomorrow.

Sorry don't know how I missed this. Yeah I'll join in late but will join just got to figure out what to build.
I'd love to see this.
