My own design plane !! :-)

[Eddo radush]

My own design airplane went pretty gooood!

I decided to make an airplane with no plans ( all from my head).
I took the basic shape of the Simple Cub and I made it a little bit chubbier and And and wider wings so it will fly slower..
(I LOVE slow flying)

I started drawing the shape of the fuselage on the foam board

And I duplicated it. After that, I made the top and the bottom and glued them together simple as i could
(no slots, no folding)

I made the power pod pocket so the power pod seat on a flat surface with a scotch connecting it together. in the picture you wont see it but i put a piece of square foam board where the scotch is

Than I made the wings
And added the electronics.

wight with the battery: 385 grams
3 chanels

Here’s is a video showing me trying it for the first time
that @mayan took with his phone today at the field

Enjoy

Looks great! Flew super nice too.
The only advice I can offer is you need to use a sharper blade for cutting out, the rougher edges on some of those cuts indicate your blade is blunt. A pretty plane like that deserves clean edges!

I have to add that it flew great! At some point @Eddo radush handed me the Tx for me to get a feel for it and give him my feedback about his design. My words and I quote “wow it’s such a no brainer.” It was so easy to fly I basically had no thinking to do and pretty much let it fly itself.

Great job with this buddy.

It was obviously made with care as it took almost no trimming to fly well, I am not sure I saw any trim applied?

That's great! Good job!

Very nice design! That plane makes a great trainer for sure. RET control scheme is nice and forgiving for newer pilots(and builders too).

No trimming done on it .

I love this trend I'm seeing lately of people who are pretty much new to the hobby and forum getting on the fast track to cranking out their own designs👍
