Starting my own scratch build

[Ratcheeroo]

So guys I just want to say thank you to all of you out there and the whole Flite Test community , I have really learned so much from all of you and after building over 20 of these great ideas from everyone I have really grown such a great interest in advancing and helping all who need. Tonight I thought to myself (and after the wife bugging me so much to do it) I decided to embark on a little project that I have had on the burner for the last two months or so. I drafted up myself a set of plans for a plane of my own, something sleek, sporty looking, gotta fly good fast or slow, and maybe swappable with my other FT swappables . started with my wings tonight, couple mods already but I am documenting everything for a final build plan that I hope will be successful and able to share with the rest of you. just a couple starter pics to show tonights progress

Yeah I was looking at my P-38 last night and was wondering if it will fit into my car, thinking maybe I should have considered that before I built it ...

all of my planes have removable wings... except for the minis

So got my wing figured out and put together last night, gonna move the servos for a final version but all in all I'm pretty happy with the result. Fuselage Friday is the plan for tonight.
