FAI-F1D
Free Flight Indoorist
This isn't a scratch build, but I didn't know of a better place to put it. So here it is...
Dynasoar has been around for a few years and it's Frank Burke's project for marketing easy to build R/C rocket gliders for folks who don't have a bunch of time or confidence to jump into crazy balsa stuff. Also, they're really nifty sport designs that just look cool.
I won a giveaway from Dynasoar a while back and have finally gotten around to building it.
Here's what you get in the box:
The elevons are even pre-hinged!
The tubes aren't slotted on this one, but Frank is now preslotting everything except the fuselage coupler.
I couldn't resist mocking it up.
I don't have photos of the build process, but am videoing some of it. I'll upload all that when it's finished.
The build is super easy, and here Caleb and I are admiring the nearly complete airframe, sans electronics. All I need to do is install the engine mount, servos, and receiver. Only an hour's work so far!
I'm hoping to finish it tonight.
