Very nice! All balsa or a mix?
Beautiful!
You can’ t just post pictures of such interesting project! Please elaborate to stop the drooling
Wow! Very cool. Let us know how it flies!
Mostly balsa
Amazing work! RC planes always fascinated me as a kid. Something about them always makes me feel a little childlike.
Wow! Cool!
Lots of people would pay money to take a class to learn how to make one of these AWESOME planes.
That is amazing!
Very nice. How about a video of it in flight?
Awesome dude! I used to design and build my own planes and rockets. All the time I spent creating the cutout templates, cutting the wood, and assembling the plane can be done so quickly now with autocad and glowforge. I used to cover my planes with tissue paper (back in the 1970’s) . Are you using monokote? I don’t see any control lines. Is this a free flight model?
I haven’t made a balsa plane as yet, though I do have plans for one in the works. But I’ve been using my GF for a couple of years now for my radio control hobby. My latest creation isn’t very complicated, it’s a front-panel for a device called a “RaceTimer” that is used for tracking lap times in a drone race. One of my earliest GF creations in the second picture, a micro sized racing drone.
I’ve used wood, acrylic, delrin and foam to make flying things with my GF. It’s one of the specific reasons I bought it.
That’s a really nice little Cub. Nice to see one that’s not yellow.
Oooooh. I want to make a Woodie
Any pointers to where I can learn about building drones?
PM me and I’ll hook you up.
Building planes was one of reasons I have wanted a laser for so long. Funny though, now that I have finally gotten the laser, I no longer fly.
