[Spyro333777]

@imacooldude

wing span = 38"

length = 41"

CG = 4" from LE

Wing from LE to TE = 11.5"

WATCH IT FLY ON MY OTHER UPLOAD there is a second video, better video...

Thanks fo watching

@Spyro333777 could you use cell foam 88 to build this instead of depron?

[Spyro333777]

@imacooldude

I doubt it, it's too big and it will flex and will fly "weird".

If you want a good & lots of fun 3D plane, get the PIAGET from HK. You will have endless fun on it. And it's Unbreakable. It comes with a motor already. You'll need a 10Amp ESC and 8X4 gws prop. Don't use the prop included, you might burn the motor. It sounds like you're upto "durability" This piaget ($40) is a blast. I fly it in front of my house too. Fly it on 20mph wind. easily. Check my channel.

@imacooldude

The Piaget will train you 3D flying without breaking planes. It's so light that can't just easily break it. If it does, small amount of hot glue will fix it. Uses 2cell or 3 cell on 8X4. It's made of very strong EPP. Watch my video on my channel.

wow nice setup and nice flight! is that a DD 10x5 GWS prop?

[Spyro333777]

GreenAce, yes, it's a 10X5 GWS prop, or 10X4.7 is pretty much the same performance I get.

Check my channel, I just posted a new video:

I'm pretty new with 3D flying, so it's not the greatest...

Thanks for watching...

@imacooldude ive seen the piaget but i just think it is too ugly. srry im picky. but i really like the plane you fly in this video. im interested in building this model. i consider myself a intermediate pilot as i have gone from a skyfly to a cub and then and edf f18. ive practiced 3d flying on realflight for months and im ready to build my first model. any plans for this?
