@jpot1 thank you for sharing these. You're inspiring me to do more of what I'm here for - to turn out fun & innovative planes and to try not to get too detailed or over-engineered or scale-obsessed. Love your builds!

And @Pinkyusa your builds are amazing!

Do you have a recommendation on the cg. Didn't see it on your plans

@Pinkyusa - beautiful builds. Love the smaller Astron and landing gear on the synergy! CG on the VX-30 is about 1/2” from the back edge of the front wing. I had a C pack motor up front and needed a 3s 2200 all the way forward with the esc to get that.

@Monte.C - go for it! I have more fun with these wacky designs than I do with master series stuff.

Next up, trying to learn onshape and I want to take my Long EZ design which flys so well and do a 3D printed fuse out of LW-PLA with dtfb wing and canard.

@Pinkyusa - beautiful builds. Love the smaller Astron and landing gear on the synergy! CG on the VX-30 is right at the back edge of the front wing. I had a C pack motor up front and needed a 3s 2200 all the way forward with the esc to get that.

Thanks for the cg response. Love building your designs. The Aston is a hit at our ama club. One member has the original glow version and loves my electric builds from your plans. Several under construction by other club members.

@Pinkyusa - updated prior post, start about 1/2” behind front wing. I found some notes and that is what I wrote down. Unfortunately I don’t have the plane any longer so can’t confirm.

Thanks, will start there!

Thanks, nice plans to work from!

Maiden was successful. A little touch of downthrust added and flys great. Thanks for the great design.
