Mighty Mini Sea Otter

[Paracodespoder]

That’s how I see it . Preparing to start cutting now, a lot of modifications are going to be needed to make it all fit together.

I'm looking forward to it. I'm about to start a Storch, that won't end up very stock by the time I'm done!!

I am using Ross foamboard by the way as it is waterproof.

Is it?... I tried it awhile when wally world had it for .88 I thought it wasn't as stiff as adams... but I might try it again if you are sure...

It isn’t as stiff, not as easy to work with and slightly thicker and heavier, but it’s waterproof. Parts all cut out and ready to go, all that’s left is a different motor nacelle, (I will be designing it to be used with the baby Bugatti power pod), and wing spars. Parts pile:

How could I have never seen that thread before! Unfortunately I only have one f-pack not two, but I do have an h-pack. Anyways, done building for tonight, got the fuse and wings done, now just needs tail surfaces and motor nacelle.

 

[Paracodespoder]

Main build complete! Now I need to add electronics and fly it.

 

[Grifflyer]

Nice job!! I hope it flies!!

 

[Paracodespoder]

Thanks, me too.

Looks great

 

[Paracodespoder]

This isn’t top priority to fly right now, as I have a mini mustang mostly ready to go. I will come back to this as soon as possible though, or as soon as the snow falls.

 

[Paracodespoder]

Looks like I may be setting this up tomorrow, we just got a little snow. Depends on wether or not we get more and if it stays.

 

[Grifflyer]

AWESOME!!!

 

[Morgan]

Are we gona get plans for this thing?

 

[Paracodespoder]

Probably not from me as I don’t have access to a way to modify the plans, but as I said earlier, we might be able to get someone else to.

What percent did you print it at?

 

[Paracodespoder]

60% , just adjust the cutouts for the a and b folds, it’s a little tricky but after doing it once or twice you learn it.

Edit: also that is the size comparison of the mini to normal size ft planes.

I've don my share of scaling planes manually ☺ Thanks.
