Hi there,
stumbled uppon this site and the forum some days ago and love it. It's much more "playfull" than all the other sites I visited so far. So thumbs up! This is a great place!
I started RC-flying 3 Month ago, with an PZ Corsair ultra-mico and upgraded a bit later to her new bigger sister as well from PZ. When I got quite used to fixing the damages, caused of course by sudden mean windstrokes, the camera man, the field itself and of course the manufacturer ;-) I thought it was time I start building my own plane.
It started with a visit at my local hardware store, where I bought a piece of foam usually used for mouting on the outside of the house to keep the inner warm... figured this stuff is light - build a plane out of it... by that time I had no idea which material is suited/used for building foam planes.
Step by step along the build I learned more stuff, build tools, bought components, sold components, tried different methods of building wings, changed proportions and sizes and ended up with something which is ... let's call it funny-rare ;-) and reminds me of a running-shoe ... perhapes it is the stripes?
Still waiting for the new motor to fly: The motor which I installed in the pics turned out to be not to be right for my setup.
I tried to work with components which I could use as spare parts for the corsair if needed and which match the parts I already bought as spare parts...
So hopefully I can take her to the field this thursday and fly/crash her... we'll see ... review will follow...
greetings from germany
