Whats up FT Forum,
So, I've had a lot of fun flying the Baby Blender. I mean, I've crashed in and rebuilt it so many times I thought DYFS was going to knock on my door. I'm becoming a huge fan of all styles of planes, but there's something about the biplanes that are awesome to look at in the sky. I was out at NEAT fair this year and I got a chance to see the Flag Painted Biplane up close. It's got the full length of the Dollar Tree board for the wings. Made by pajonate, here on the forums.
He only had one post! Wonder what happened to him?
Oh well, so I wanted the bigger top wing and the regular size bottom wing. But after making that something still looked like it could use a little customizing. I traced the fuselage from the plans I had and decided to extend the tail section 4 inches.
This also meant I would have to make the turtle deck also 4 inches longer.
I also found that a weak spot for me and my grass landings was the struts. I doubled them on each side and cut the mounting holes to fit (I think I did that after these pictures where taken).
So, I think I'll call it the FT Teen Blender? IDK, I just hope it doesn't fly like a teenager and give my more gray hair.
Really looking forward to maidening this one, might be spring tho But hey! Building, that's what winter is for.
