What are you bringing?

[qwijibo]

I was thinking about what planes to bring to FliteFest this year, and wondered what other interesting planes folks will have...I'd love to see them!

My 3D printer has been running non-stop lately, here's a few printed planes I plan to bring this year. I have a couple more "in progress", but I might not be able to fit them all in my car.

that first one (probably with all white printing) looks like it could be are really interesting night flyer if filled up with LED strips and an interesting programming of the lights.

The best way to explain what to bring to Flite Fest, bring planes you love to fly not planes you love.

Between combat, group flights, and my dumb thumbs, I tend to leave flitefest with far fewer airplanes than I arrive with. Makes packing for the return trip that much easier 😉

My first Flite Fest I made the mistake of bringing too many planes I liked. This year I find myself falling into the same trap, so I am trying to limit myself to one nice plane for the Dawn Patrol, and then the rest will be planes I am willing to lose or rebuild. Plan right now it to bring my Tommy Scout for the Dawn Patrol, then my small Spirit of St louis, an FT Sportster, FT (mini)Scout, a couple old blu-cor planes, and a powered glider if I can get it finished in time. I was going to build another Curtiss Jenny, but don't know if I'll have the time.
I'm also debating bringing some other planes to show off, like my Cafe Racer mk3, SeaRey, and FT Sea Angel as space and time allow.

I don't have enough plans to not bring them all.. but I also have stuff that I hit a gate at speed and it didn't even leave much of a mark. Just picked it up, checked it over and re-launched it.

I'm bringing my standard stuff, but added a modified Eclipson Model V2. I increased the wing by 18cm and the fuse by 3cm. (oh and I added LED lights too!) I can't wait!

Wow, that Model-V looks great with the lights!

Maiden flight of the Eclipson Model V2 is in the books and it is packed and ready to go to FliteFest!
