Not much is going on. Everybody is outside more than normal 🤣 how is Albany? I need to make a trip to the RC club up there. It may be a bit small for a 105" span place though lol.
Micro/Mini one sheet quarantine build off

Ah, ok. A guy who goes to your club also goes to our club. He says that you can fly nothing bigger than a 30cc gasser there. He told me that if I flew only in low and slow, I might be able to do it lol
As far as the rules go, the only thing I'm tracking is "no gas turbines"
I would guestimate the area to be about the size of a football field, maybe a little bigger.

Got the ugly duckling dialed in so it flies half way decent. I think I'll do this one again with some little brushless motors!

Beautiful my friend absolutely beautiful! Say where do you live to have such an amazing field right off of your front porch?

Haha, thanks! I live in Wyoming, professional cowboy you might say. Pretty much as far as you can see in that video is my front yard! (And my back yard is even bigger 😅) no one out here but me and my family, we're always quarantined! Lol
Upon further experimentation, the power system is indeed severely underpowered. The motor stutters right as the plane starts to roll during taxi (which I have been informed is a timing issue with the esc, or that it is over-proped.) So, I've decided to scrounge a 20 amp esc from a different project and possibly a 2212 1200kv motor (~b pack equivalent). Unfortunately the other propellers I have on hand are 3-blade 5" and 8060 low fly props (or something like that.)
Any suggestions?

calibrate the esc. once quarantine is over, come down and fly with me and @SquirrelTail

That looks way cool! Can it do 4s? If it can, film it so I can see it go like heck.

It sadly can fit a 3s 850 at the largest. While not my cleanest build, I'm excited to fly it!

Good luck on the maiden.
How do I re/calibrate it? Is that the throttle fiddling that I did when I first plugged it in?
or do you mean the bl_heli firmware flasher thing? (this esc is definitely not fancy enough to interface with that app.)

Here is a video from 2012 for my entry.
Only thing left is video(stop video immediately to see its design using the letter k) showing a scratchbuilt model(Scifi in looks) with a forward swept wing (ailerons) and a canard that used elevons to make a flight. Found out lots of info dealing with FSW and workable canard.
Key to doing a complete flight ended up having to modify it so it had a workable rudder and small deflections in the controls..

She needs a bigger nose... I think. Look great! A way to repurose those terrible toy drone motors.

Absolutely, but thay little fuselage is already too much for those motors to lift... next version will be 2s brushless for sure!

It is one of his GLH's. The plans haven't been released yet
