Detailed look at all the new things and the parts that now move! I started this project back in September (I haven't flown since then so the first flight should be fun haha) and thought it would only take me a weekand or two. Well, things I never anticipated came up like locating and throurougly securing the wooden backplate spars and getting a good BEC to supply power to all seven servos. Then, I got bored and just worked on it here and there until I finally got 'r done. So this is the result.

Heading out to fly it tommorow so stay tuned!

  • Excellent project! We should have some good sailplane towing adventures ;-)

    Good that swapping to floats is still possible.

  • @labdatum Yep can't wait! Just need a sailplane hehe :)

  • Nice Work! Tail Wheel Is Awesome!

    Have Fun Flying!

  • @poppopscarvinshop Thanks! Just came back from the flying field - the tail wheel did work very well!

  • Ethan looks great buddy, check out the aileron servo's and make sure the screws are in the horn it went by pretty fast and I didnt see any screws in them i may be wrong but thought i would throw it out there just in case.

    .

    it is going to fly great I can't wait to see you pulling your dad's gliders in the air.

  • @TBUCKETMAN Hey, thanks for point that out, the screws are black so they did blend in a little but when I went and checked them I realized I forgot to fully tighten them! I probally would have checked that in the pre-flight but again thanks anyways! I can't wait to see it in the air too

see all
