Hello,
So I am wanting to find a good set of plans to start building a plane. But before I go further, let me put a little background out there
I am 25 years old, and have little to no experience with RC planes. I do own a DJI phantom 3 professional and have a fair amount of experience flying it successfully. I have flown a small foam trainer before, and I also understand the basics/physics of flight and have seriously contemplated getting my private pilots license and going through paragliding training.
Also to note, for one circumstance or another, I have a God awful amount of wood working equipment. Table saw, band saw, jig saw, router, all sanders, scroll saw, drill press, you name it, ive got it. and anything I don't personally have access to, I have a friend that could literally build anything in the world out of wood and I could easily go barrow a tool
- As you might expect I am into wood working.
The other day, my grand mother moved and I had to help her clean out her shed - I discovered 2 small nitro engines and this is where the idea came to build a model plane.
- HB .12 RC engine made in Germany fresh out of box, clean, I got it started and broken in on table top.
- MAX OS .20 missing muffler
I would really like to utilize these engines as they were my grandfathers and I think they are cool.
If you guys could help me find a model plane that would fit those I would be grateful
- needs to be the right size for the engine
- must have most pieces out of balsa wood (I look wood work, not foam and plastic)
- needs to not be a super advanced plane to fly, although I am open to training more before I fly this one
- needs to be fairly in depth (I like something that can occupy my interest for a long time rather than an afternoon build)
- last woodworking project I did was a hand made wood strip canoe.
- where would I find a muffler for the max os?
