So I haven't been too active lately because school and work but thanks to COVID-19 I have some free time so I'd like to become active for a little bit again.
Anyways I have been experimenting with removing the paper on Adams readi-board and replacing it with packing tape. I know this has been done before but I really think you guys should try it. It makes a huge difference in the final weight of the plane, and it waterproof...
I started with a small scale airplane on a 2205 red bottom and it flew alright, but that was due to my cut-and-fly method of manufacturing. Without a proven air-frame it was kinda unfair for the first test but this was the first plane I've built of flown since Flite Fest last year and I wanted to make something new. I also tried a 8" prop and that caused way too much torque on the plane. It flew much better with a 6x4.5.
I made a long video on it and am interested in what you guys could do with this type of construction. How light can you make your favorite FT plane?
My next plane for this ultralight treatment is the Storch, my goal is to be able to fly it off of a red bottom on 2s with an 8" prop.
