Here is my Cub design. My first true scratch design. Flies great, tends to be fast and always too fast on landings and because of a rookie mistake on landing gear position it always noses over on landings.

Small video of the maiden flight, Really a train wreck with no D-R Expo programmed and I was still very green!

Here is the "Extraparamental"
A scratch built stick style plane. The name came after the first flight, It was a experiment that went totally mental. I never expected this plane to be much more than a failure, boy was I wrong! It is fast and maneuvers like a 3d plane will prop hang, aileron roll like a drill bit, forward loop with in it's own fuse length, knife edge (when I can pull it off). It is great in the wind! So on windy days at the field, the guys all sit around and won't fly! I put this booger up and have a blast!

Well here is a Bi-plane attempt, again working with getting as much plane from 1 sheet of DTFB, the lower wing and bottom fuse plate are cut out of one piece and only the elevator is added as a separate part, the fuse is boxy to add strength for the upper wing cabane. The wings are KFM2 with 2x step than normal. The pilot was a cool find at the craft store, bag of 15 for $2.50. It flies but it is hard to explain, on 1 hand it seems tail heavy but the next minute it seems nose heavy. I have about 10 flights on it. Still not to sure on this one!

Here is the Wot next from Rcgroups. I built 2 of these, finally retired the first one just wore it out! Great 2nd aileron plane, sporty, maneuverable , capable of way beyond my current pilot skills but you can grow into it!

Boy is this post getting long!
I found my self with no flyable planes and the weather was perfect! I needed some thing quick, I made a Experimental Airlines Noob tube fuselage attached a wing from another plane I built and destroyed the fuse on in one flight. Made a simple rudder and tail assembly, added the landing gear from another failure and this is what I ended up with in under 2 hours.
