I for one would love to see see.

well I might be very late to this, but I designed a X-29 pain scheme a while ago and I'd love to see it in reality.

I know it's a rather complex one, but in my opinion the work would be worth it.

That's pretty cool! I did a similar scheme on my Goblin, so... who knows.

After the recent FT fiberglass how to video, I'm thinking of applying this to just the main wing. I've replaced the outer wing twice now due to bending on landing due to medium height stiff grass at the field. Any thoughts on how to keep this from happening?

If this keeps happening, I'm probably going to do the F-20 conversion I saw around here somewhere. Can't seem to find it right now.

I scratch built a FT X-29 with a 70mm EDF. (First photo)

I had to have a bigger one with retracts, flying canard, removable wing and rear elevator, so I blew up the plans and built one with a 90mm EDF. (Second and third photo)

See the rest of my story here. I've been flying it in Florida this winter quite a lot and really liking it...

FT X-29 LG V2. Large, scratch built, w/retracts.

Scratch built X-29 LG 125/150% with removable wing, functional canards, 90mm EDF and retracts.
