That just doesn't sound right

It’s a lot

I had some time yesterday and the weather was poor, so I got out the rattle cans and self adhesive vinyl. Just need to fit the canopy and I'm all done - not as nice as some of the super-scale builds on here but shows how a little paint can make even the basic design look good!

coroplast, like the plastic that is used in most yard or better yet election signs .

OK got it, corrugated plastic… It all makes sense now. We buy it by the pallet at my work

Just have to plan your layout to go with the pattern , where needed for example in a wing and you need more strength you slide a cf rod through it.

I want to do some coroplast combat planes this winter

I did these from Sponz designs

 

[degriz]

I have a whack load of coroplast in the garage, I should try it. Is there any building techniques that are different from FB?

A little different, some great info on the web. Do a search for coroplast rc builds. I have also mixed and matched foam and coroplast, and 2mm and 4mm coroplast. Play around with it, it takes a lot of abuse and not effected by moisture. That was the main reason I tried it because most of my flying was done in the morning when the grass was wet.

Well, she’s ready for the final install. Do you think the FT Power Pack C with the 1800 mah is a good choice? I’m not such a good pilot yet. But she’s almost done!

That looks like the new Radial "C" pack. That should do great. On 3S you should be able to run the 10X4.5.
Great looking build

That is a sharp looking build bud, You could go with a 10x45 ooorrrr... do a 9x6 and keep the throttle on the lighter side to maiden and open it up, put the coals to her, lead foot the thing, let 'er rip and give it the justice she deserves.

P.S. you might want to wear a diaper

 

[Tr33s]

I think I’ll stick with the 10x45 first time out. Fresh out of diapers! 🤪

Thanks! I may need to build another one soon after this one goes up. It should be fun!

I think the Spitfire is one of those planes that can turn you into one!

Well it's not a Spit Roasted but it is coming hot off the printer

No, this is a 3DLabprint design.
