DETAILS
Hi friends.
​The Japanese fleet has always fascinated me and I'm excited to finally bring one to you all! In form with my previous designs, I chose a subject that is less represented in the model community as a whole and specifically in the DTF area. So please, enjoy this plane and share your build here in this thread!
If you like this design then perhaps you’ll like some of my others as well.

FAQ
Is this a swappable?
It will accept a FT power pod as well as a new pod I have designed. The new pod is larger to accommodate a bigger battery.
Is this a good plane for a beginner to fly?
No. It's a bit too advanced for a beginner.
How do I know if I should use aluminum or basswood?
200-500w = basswood
500+ = aluminum
Are flaps required?
No, but they do help! If you're going for a heavier/faster setup, I would suggest adding them.
There is a plane I want you to design, what’s the best way to suggest it to you?
Please use the request form here on my site.
