Simple scout is speed build but I also built a scratch built one from printed plans both flew great. The Corsair is also a speed build, haven’t had too much success yet with it need more time and better weather.

Finished a scratch built F-22 raptor. Took her out for a maiden, flew beautifully considering it was kind of dark. Superb design, as I did run it into the ground twice due to the dark and my getting familiar with strictly elevon control, and the airframe only suffered a bent nose, quickly fixed and is good as new. Also the speed is amazing and I was startled by it during the first launch. It also slowed up very well. Overall very satisfied with the whole process, glad I chose this design!

Yeah, just wrecked the Corsair this weekend😐 it’s because of the faulty one layer of peeled foam.

It didn’t even come down hard it prop spiked and the whole front snapped

Here was a twin sparrow that I finished painted and maidening last week. I was really inspired by the how to fly your dragon episode so after i got my wisdom teeth out last thursday i spent the day creating what my dragon would be like if I had my own dragon to fly. (Sorry for the poor picture quality. )

Really flies and looks pretty good. Definitely would recommend this project to anyone!

Yeah, I plan to give it a shot. It was a bit tail heavy so some repairs might prove to be beneficial!🤷🏻‍♂️

Now that I have plenty of time (blessing in disguise with this whole covid thing) I fixed the Corsair by cutting the foam square on both pieces, then adding in a piece to connect the rest of the fuselage with the nose and motor. The motor angle was a little off but it flew great; was still a little tail heavy. However I took the wing off to do some other adjustments and recentered the servos controlling the rudder and elevator. So it should be better. Also I added pennies to the front to give it more nose weight.
