For just building kits a balsa plainer and sanding bars plus razer knifes /balsa saw and pins glue plus wax paper over your plans on a building board and away you go! Its the kiss method KEEP IT SIMPLE STUPID and i live by it. I have made alot of my tools over the years because iam so dam cheap . If i had that drill thing it would be taking up a good spot in my shop where a great tool i could use all the time could sit. lol BTW i have built in balsa all my life but have been building in foam for less than a year and its fun too. My own foam desighn taken from a 70's balsa one . It flew yesterday for the first time and it flew great,its a canard stick. Now iam going to build a slightly bigger one and draw up plans for dollar tree foam to be givin out free here on rcg.

Hi joe,
I found the secret of your success with this ''canard''.
I imagine you know that a ''canard'' is a French word and in English it means a ''duck''.
Ducks have very large areas beaks and use them to help their pitch attitude while flying [img][/img] .
I likke to think that is how the word ''canard'' originated for this design _ [img][/img] _ [img][/img] .
However your success is a secret so I will not reveal it L O L .
Congratulations on some nice experimentations and best regards _ _ _

Never knew the word canard came from the french . No secret about my succes? i share it with everyone. Here are the plans i scaled down for the next 42 inch wingspan one i will be building next ,the trick is to learn how to fold foam and make a true airfoil out of it without it breaking in half. lol These are tiled so you can print them but you only need to print out the fuse and wing with fins to save paper and ink. I have collected over 4000 free download plans and if you ever need a certain one just pm me. Print them at 100% joe
