RE: Here's a Simple & FREE First Foam Build Plan! Cool Looking Plane Too...

I found the Elmers brand foam board to be stiffer then the dollar store brand, it's worth the extra couple of bucks in this area.

Thanks for the link, I already made a post on the other thread, I guess at 63 pages, this one would be kind of intimidating for someone new to it, so it's good he started the second one. Might as...

It was a perfect day to fly, I opted to cook turkey, get some production done in the shop, flirt with some girls and call it a day. Take note on that last statment, I've been scarce from the forums,...

RE: Here's a Simple & FREE First Foam Build Plan! Cool Looking Plane Too...

I just messed with the motor specs, I still want to slow it down a bit more, I'll adjust it more with the rest of the plane, I've never messed with a par file too much so am basically hacking my way...

New Par file is attached, this is closer to how this plane performs, I'll mess with it a little more later on. RCU won't let me upload it as a .par file so I had to rename it to a .txt file, after...

RE: Here's a Simple & FREE First Foam Build Plan! Cool Looking Plane Too...

Oak is heavier, the durability far outweighs that, excuse the pun, especially in your case. Think Slowstick as far as gearing it up, it will be super easy to get this one airborn if you go that...

Thanks, I'm happy with how it came out, it took alot more R and D going outside of the norm design wise.

Looking good Calvino, I'd just use a stick for your fuse, it will make it much easier to put together. The polyhedral is a good pick, that's a very forgiving system.

Diagram for a trainer I take it. I can take care of it for you, but it's still going to need revision after the fact, just as the jet needed it.

RE: Here's a Simple & FREE First Foam Build Plan! Cool Looking Plane Too...

The rudder is actually fixed, so just aileron, elevator per the original plans. If you were going with a tail feather control only, you'll want to make sure there is clearance for the rudders and it...

At the very end of the plane, there are areas that move around, that is what turns the plane around, to keep it in it's most simple context.

RE: Here's a Simple & FREE First Foam Build Plan! Cool Looking Plane Too...

If you add some dihedral, you can use tail feather control with this one, so yeah, would make a good first time trainer. The sim I used that helped me learn was FMS 7.0, I never even plugged in my...
