Color going on... Mudman1959

Paint going on... I know... I broke my own rule... No paint until it flies and proves to me it wants to stay around for awhile but it just needed color. What do you think?

All done except for the electronics... Mudman1959

Good News!!! It's Alive!!! Finally finished the electronics on it and had it out in the driveway doing taxi testing and it looks good. I even hopped it off the ground momentarily but it needs to be balanced yet. The motor/ESC/Prop combo looks like it will have more than enough power for it to fly.

That is to cool. Well your plane motivated me to design this out of DTFB a few months ago.

Thank you.

Any chance you have plans to make this "full body" FT style?

My version, maiden completed and then added color! Terrific flier, just need bigger wheels!

Probably about 10 batteries through this great plane. Finally figured out I was missing a pilot!
