Fred;

Just saw your post with thr DR-1 - where did you get the plans / kit for it?

I would love a triplane, but haven't found anything cheap enough to build [X(]

Thanks

Terry

Will bump up this thread with a pic of a hybrid stick and foam IPS powered sort of old timer. 36inch WS weight is about 8 ozs RTF. Putts around the sky very scale-like.
Happy flying

Here's a F7U Cutlass currently under construction using 3-views and J. Morgans build thread over at RCG. 39" WS, 40" length. Blue-cor Fan Fold and balsa wing, pink foam fuse and nose.

Rick, now that is looking sweet.
Here's one I have under construction, it is a E-Starter fuse that's been modified and depron, it is a float plane modled after the aerocat amphibian. I should get my floats today

RickAvery

Very cool AJ! Bashing stuff together is a hoot! I'm thinking of turning my old sky scooter into a float plane. Add another project to the looooooong list Have a nice holiday!

...That has to be the coolest plane I've seen in a while... how well does it fly?

RickAvery

Here's the finished F7U Cutlass.

Very nice Rick, have you flown it yet, how does it handle

RickAvery

AJ,
Thanks! And yes she flies very well. Takes quite a heafty hand launch to get her going. She's not fast but flies with very scale movements and looks great going by. Been a real fun project. Here are a couple of in flight pics. Happy flying.

Just a microfraction to show, I have a ton more, foam and non foam based..........

coolbean

That looks great Rick. Really nice work. I'd like to work in depron, but I'm too cheap.

RickAvery

Coolbean,
She's made from bluecor fan-fold, balsa & pink foam. The total cost for the airframe including paint & decals was probably less than $25.00.
Rick

coolbean

That's right.. Can you be more specific on this "pink foam" I have a whole stack of blue cor.

RickAvery

Coolbean,
The pink foam can be seen in post #54. I got it in 3' X 8' X 1" thick panels. It's used for insulation just like the bluecor. I belive it's a Dow Corning product. I laminated 6 pieces of 1" X 28" X 7.5" pink foam to create 2 blocks 3" X 28" X 7.5" to make the two fuse halves. The pics show the wing with the balsa and bluecor build-up, the two mentioned pink foam fuse halves after being hogged out with a make-shift hot wire cutter & the plane with the fuse, nose section and wing/elevons being test fit.

Thanks Rick, your Cutlass is outstanding! Great work, foam sure is great to work with. Here's a link to my Pond Racer vid:[link=http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showatt.php?attachmentid=1152127]Pond Racer[/link]
