Those look great! I still cant believe you are making your own foamboard. Looks like factory made. Good luck with them!

Why do people want free plans so bad? I would love to see people designing their own flerken style airplanes. Maybe somebody would hit on something good. All this complaining is kinda annoying, if somebody builds a flerken style plane I’ll def join the beta build!

say less

LOL!! you better believe it bud.... ya, practice makes perfect... and i hate wrinkly/ funny foam, so i spend ~40 min per sheet making sure it's smooth, and the paper is adhering to the foam 100%

they're called entitlements. when you give people free stuff for a long time and suddenly take it away, it causes a tremor in the force

Gotta say your not wrong there. Does nobody realize that if one were to click on the home page tab, go to the articles section on that page, select planes form the image menu that there are over 2000 articles just on planes and close to if not over half are free plans for planes? Nearly all of the FT ones that were taken off the store site are still on there as well.

Kind of my feelings as well. This place is full of resources, more planes and ideas than any one fella has time for.

And you can’t forget that most people at some point or other start designing their own planes. Like me!
