My FT Simple Scout Build!
- Thread starter PoorManRC
- Start date
I had mentioned my redesigned Turtle Deck....
and realize that not everyone wants to watch my YouTube videos. I won't force anyone to do so. 😉
HERE'S my all new Turtle Deck...
😉😊🍻🍺
And HERE She is, for the first time...
ALL ONE COLOR!! 😜👍👍
Got a few Windshield ideas I'm kicking around....
Getting CLOSE!!

Thanks! I appreciate you checking it out.
I've seen so many FT build Videos, so many times...
I had to think about where I came up with the Turtle Deck.
It's from the FT Cruiser! 👍👍
Since most of the FT designs are centered around a basic Fuse and Wing design - a lot can be done from combining!
And I build VERY slowly, by FT standards...
This truly IS a something for everyone facet of the Hobby! 😎

@Corbarrad ...many have compared Josh to Bob Ross. And really Josh doesn't do as much of the build videos anymore.
Which is a shame, really... Nothing against Andres or John Overstreet, but they don't hold a candle to the relaxation and satisfaction Josh provides.
Actually, they should get Stephan or Alex to do one of the build videos, that could be fun...
We should probably try not to derail this thread any further so I'll shut up on that topic...
With my love for Ultra Micros I've had quite a few.
But, of course building something with your own hands is the best.
Back on topic, you know, use that turtle deck, move the wing up 4 inches, add a smaller wing to the bottom of the fuselage, N-struts and you got yourself a passable Fokker D.VII...
must not stray from my project, must not stray from my project, must not stray from my project...

I just looked at @unrauv design of the D. VII...
That Guy designed a VERY Scale looking Model of it! 👍👍
Looks very doable from the Scout Fuse, with my Turtle Deck! 😉
What it would really need for the full effect, is DR. 1 style Tail Feathers.
It APPEARS to have a water cooled V8, instead of the crazy SPINNING 9cyl Rotary...
It ALMOST makes me want to build one as a STATIC Foam Board MODEL. 😲
But, who am I kidding.... I'd FLY her!!!

SOME Progress....
I finished the 3D Printed Landing Gear, and decided on a Medium Blue for it....
And basically the whole underside of the Fuse! 😉
NOT the final design, just wanted enough color down there to see. I like the look!
I got the Tail Feathers straightened back out... (What happened was in my last Video, posted below)😉
The "Pilot" is getting impatient!! 😜

Poormanrc, i recently stuffed my cub good and proper, damage was extensive.
ive just finished re building the front end.
if you haven't done yours yet it might be useful to look at my Cub thread and see just how much damage can be repaired :

SOME Updates!
Finishing up the bottom color....
I'm going to have to decide what will be "good enough"....
Finished with the Cockpit Details. I wanted a "representation" that would look OK from a distance.
Hopefully I've accomplished that...
Fortunately, these post-WWI Aircraft didn't have the most sophisticated instrumentation!! 😜
Windscreen is coming...
Just a piece of Lexan scrap from a RC Truck Body, cut, and trimmed with a Sharpie!
Mounting it is a whole other issue! Most glues, including Hot Glue, DON'T stick to it....
Comments, pertaining to this Build, are certainly welcome!! 😉

I hope this tiny step can lead to a path to reconciliation! It takes a big man to take such a small step!
@PoorManRC Could it be time to start along the path?
Have fun!
