Used petg for this one, yellow with orange highlights, using the new ft radial 2207, might stress test it on 6s at some point

I like the 6s idea, was it not fast enough before when it bounced off the ground and broke apart?

I just did inverted with the KFm wing on the FT-22 yesterday, some said that wasn't possible, it's in the video
Well it wasn’t me! Have you found a cg you like yet?
You have a simple cub, right? How well does it do inverted? Mine seemed to hate it last time I tried. With the last fixes it became pretty heavy and I don’t dare even do a roll - much less inverted! The spitfire and ft-22 are awesome at inverted though...

Huh? The words "fast enough" do not compute. Seriously tho, being a plank it is at home with 300kph. If the grass was flatter that landing would have worked out, I firmly believe the landscape should change to accommodate my need for speed! I could have slowed down to safe reasonable landing speed, but then how would I know the bump in the grass was there?

My simple cub is deceased but I am working on my 3D cub and am trying to figure out how to get it done just right.

I am finding the 22 is adaptable to whatever CG you chose. Make it tail heavy and you can fly it manageably at slower speeds with maneuverability. Balance it on the marks and you can really put the coals to it... correction, you HAVE to put the coals to it to keep it flying without ballooning on you. I like them both actually

You should do a build thread on one, I am sure people are curious as to how you are so successful at this hobby, just give them a peek into your mind.

A little video of the combat wars I went to in North Battleford. It has also the massive bomber that was the target to take out. I forgot one guy also fitted his baron with a huge gas motor, he did finally get it to fly after a few attempts but it was so nose heavy he couldn't land it without doing some kind of damage.

My Avro Vulcan prototype for FTFC challenge! Forgot headband on maiden so no footage of the first maiden...but this plane shocked and awed me at how awesome it was right off the bat. I landed her quick and got my camera should have footage up soon if it came out right!

I've got more footage and a longer clip with commentary to edit, but the uncut clip I will share for now is a very nice flight full from launch to landing, probably about the third launch following maiden. In this one I test the plane's looping capability...this plane does not do little RET/Nutball/3d park flyer flips, this does big, full epic loops. Here's a look at my Vulcan, hope you guys enjoy. I'm really stoked about this build and how well it flies already.
There’s been a lot of wind lately so no real flight lately, but I did get some “RealFlight” time in! I managed to pull off some knife edges, a few mediocre flat spins, and I’m really improving at prop hanging! I also practiced some low-n-slow inverted pattern flying as well. I’m improving at my 3D so hopefully I’ll be able to do some cool stuff when I build @Headbang easy af edge!

@Wildthing - awesome video from North Battleford - the bomber was classic!

No, they are HobbyLobby where I got them for $10 and spare blades for $2. Good idea to purchase spare blades if you can right away. They are always offering different fans/blades so a year yours are out

Just finished setting up things at my shop on a 55" tv, next step is to hook up the vr
Nice! Looks a lot nicer than my little laptop screen😂. Which version of RealFlight is it?
HobbyLobby as in the craft store? You definitely can’t argue with $10!
