Simple Condorde

[concorde]

Im new here so not sure where to be posting stuff but anyway here is my first build. Its a simple plane that I threw together just to see if I could make something that would fly, turned out to be a lot more fun than expected.

Dollar Tree foam board and a few bbq skewers for reinforcements. I ended up imbedding a couple skewers in the wings as they started to bow up after a few flights.
25.5" span - I think the next one may be a bit smaller for better wind penetration
60" approximate length
Suppomodel B2208/17 1100kv
18 amp esc
9x5 prop
9 gram servos
1000mah 3s batt
I don't know the weight but it has enough power to take off vertically

Welcome to the forums concorde! your plane looks awesome.

Congrats! It does look like a lot of fun. Nice job for your first plane. I'd guess you've been flying for a while, based on your handling of it.

Welcome to the forum! Your post location is just fine.

Hello and welcome. Very cool plane. I think you'll fit right in here.

Welcome!!
Nothing like a simple build!
Could do with the bent down wing-tips and try to build it 3D for a challenge!

Nice build concorde, and welcome to the FT Family! Nice piloting skills there too. How 'bout some specs on what you were flying there? Is that Dollar Tree foam board, what electronics did you use, etc?

Awesome, I think profile planes are my favorite next to thin gliders.

I wish I had that kind of skill and patience! was kinda hoping this would inspire someone else to do that

If this is your first build, you are doing pretty well, man!

Thanks! your right I have been flying balsa planes for about 12 years but this is my first build aside from ARFs. I didn't expect it to have nice flying characteristics at all, when i was building it I thought if i could manage to fly a few circuits and still have something that resembled a plane after id be happy. To say the least I was surprised, the concorde engineers must have known what they were doing when they shaped that wing
