The British Bomb Shell. Scratch built ugly stick

[tdozauer7576]

Hi, I just made a awesome looking ugly stick that I covered in British flag duck tape. I just thought that this might be something that would be cool to share with the people of Flite Test. I am thinking about making an article so, tell me what you think

That's very cool! The ducktape will also be really strong.
Did you scratch build the plane?

Edit- Ah sorry missed the topic! Yeah please do a write up on your scratch build.

Go ahead and write it up, theres always something to learn from other peoples builds...

What was the weight of the aircraft ready for takeoff? My stick is 800 grams (with a 1 meter wingspan). Haven't flown it yet but I suspect I made it way too heavy.

Mine is 30" and weighs 500 grams with battery. Yours should fly, depending on the motor size.
