It's already back in the air. Got a new body for cheap. Put the foam in hotwater to relax it, added toothpicks and clue those in, followed by CA clue Fixed this one and about to buy another cub I found very cheap.
This sh** is addicting..lol Dad seems like he wants to fly so that's why I'm looking at another plane.
I'm looking at one of these, a tiny version of the 2 meter beast I flew this weekend. I figure it'll be a super convenient grab and go plane that will fit in any car, and really easy to fly. The only thing bad about small planes is that they are squirrely in just about any wind, but that can be solved with a gyro.Yea I am looking at getting me another one myself.
I'm looking at the Hobbyking Bixler 3. I loved the one I had

P-51 Mustang 1.1m got it for $150 w/ free receiverLooks like a Spitfire but has US markings? Wingspan?
Would love to see this fly.I was flying this VTOL yesterday. Wingspan is ~11 feet.
For perspective, the hover props are 24" and pusher prop 20", the battery system is 2 x 22,000 mAh 6S batteries - 50v system. It will climb at a rate of 25 MPH, dive 110+ MPH and cruise at 80+ MPH. It's a versatile beast.

Definitely has the underside of a Mustang, but that wing looks like it came off a Spitfire to me.P-51 Mustang 1.1m got it for $150 w/ free receiver

@htperry how did you get those props to index that way in flight?
It's just the wind. They freewheel in plane mode.
Thank you.@htperry how did you get those props to index that way in flight?
@Djstorm100 that 47D is purty.
Dang it, yall are going to make me break out my stuff. I got out of RC to get into guns lol
Djstorm100 has two planes here. The one on the picnic table and flying with the invasion stripes on the underside of the wings is a P-47. In his garage on the floor with the yellow tail and belly scoop is a P-51d (bubble canopy).Definitely has the underside of a Mustang, but that wing looks like it came off a Spitfire to me.
Ah, I was looking at the P-47, at least at first. Thanks for clearing that up.Djstorm100 has two planes here.

I found them today, when I get more free time, someday. I like their shop and how they explain what they are doing.I like these guys. I binged watched them a while back. The flying toaster and cinderblock were pretty funny. If I get back into RC I think I'm going to try something from these guys. I have all the electronics already somewhere.
yea and some of the guys have some pretty good aerodynamics background. They push the boundaries of what can be done and if successful they'll make a kit. The flying Little-tikes car was pretty epic.I found them today, when I get more free time, someday. I like their shop and how they explain what they are doing.
I've got one of these sitting in the box, just way too busy to slap it together.
