I've never flown RC, and I'm still waiting on my Tx and Rx, but I finished my first scratch build with the electronics. I figured if I was going to get into this hobby I wanted to build the hard way first, taking 50+ sheets of paper, and tiling them together and transferring to foam-board.
Came out pretty okay for my first attempt. I had a couple mishaps with the wing, but I think it's okay now. (Hence the tape towards the front...)
Used 3d printed servo horns, firewall, and wheels. I think the wheels might be too heavy though, I did 20% infill but they still feel a bit bulky. We will have to see.
I used those ground flags for the push-rods to the tail and gears, and paperclips for the wings. Paperclips are so much easier to work with...
I have no idea if this thing will fly...I fully expect it to crash into the ground 2 seconds after takeoff...But when the rest of my stuff comes in we will see.
I honestly want to paint it and keep it somewhere safe, I'm so afraid to fly it...
