Nice one:) She looked very light on take off? Is that hard to manoeuvre? I was amazed at how light this bird is being 45 inches long and 45 inches in wingspan. with a 2200 3s battery in her, she is just 44 oz. It is really easy to maneuver around but you really need to dial the rates down and add a...

Here is a plane I built over the winter, My friend gave me the wings that were left after the crash of his 3D hobbyshop Extra 300 shp and said see what you can make. Here it is a balsa /foam board hybrid Extra 300s. 16938793_10212572702338410_523068650652926605_n.jpg This being the video section her...

Thanks Guys! She has the potential to be very fast! That was on a 3s and never over 3/4 throttle.

Here is what Ya'll Been waiting for! First I apologize, my cameras suck! but not to disappoint I share what I got! I was a nervous wreck, I was really concerned about the CG but WE nailed it! no elevator trim even needed! Cg is at 3.5 inches behind the lower wing leading edge. The video is from 2 ca...

Soon I hope! depending on weather after work tomorrow it might happen but forecast is PM rain and I get off work at 2:00 PM

A little more progress, well a lot, all the covering is done and the build is finished. I just need time and weather to cooperate. Here are the specs. Top wing 32" Bottom wing 27.5" cord I call it 6" but towards the fuse it gets out to 7.75". Length from spinner to tail 33"....

Hey Thanks Guys! I am kinda stalled on it at the moment, well at least for a week yet. My adopted son is in from the Navy right now and has taken up residence in my build room, he'll be heading out to Washington state for his next assignment and will be there for at least a year, He's doing a rotati...

Thanks Guys! Here is a quick update. I have decided to cover it in mylar tape. I purchased 2 rolls. IMG00007.JPG I got the lower wing almost done just have to fit the cabanes to the ends and cover the end cap. I like the result!

Nice work area!

Now for some servos and the motor. I added some balsa square stock into the fuse to strengthen the thing because the motor is a Fire Power 3836 1100kv hog, It will be spinning a 10x7 prop. IMG00104.JPG IMG00116.JPG IMG00120.JPG I made a canopy for it and then added some cowling enhancements. IMG0012...

SO after seeing Lockey from RCgroups work on the Sorceress, I finally got inspired to try my hand at it. If you are not familiar with the Sorceress it is a Reno racer reverse staggerwing bipe from the 70's. Sorceress drawing.jpg There is not really any "plans" for it but with a single blue...

Hello everyone! Well I am finally getting back to the hobby. I have had a few issues in life, not any health problems just work related and some problems with the club I fly at. Lots of personnel changes at work have left us short handed and now I am working more saturdays than ever. The club I fly ...

Well here she is ready for the maiden flight. I am really excited about this one!

Nice!

Video speaks for itself. I'd have crapped myself!

Thanks Graham!

Thanks Paul! Stick building is hard and this one, unless I see one I really want will most likely be my last as i have been working on it since the first week in january!

Well in my spare time I have been working on a laser cut kit from Hobby King, it's a J3 and it has been a fair amount of work but I am getting closer to completion. I would not recommend this kit for a first attempt as it is lacking in instructions and components and of course HK now has a version 2...
