My New Build Attempt
Yabby Wed Sep 28, 2022 12:51 am
Below is my new plane im nearly finished building. Its a bit of a Bitza, inpired by soome planes I saw on Outerzone, Teenie Genie and I think Sweet Heap. Built up wings are not my thing other than old combat wings, but a friend has convince me to have a go at a plane with an aerofyle wing for once and see how it goes. 
Never know, it might go ok, or ok enough to get me to build a plane with flaps as well. 
Can only try. Im just putting together a TD 049 to go on the nose.
hopefully it flies and performs an unpowered landing this weekend.

Unpowered landings are best. This build looks fabulous. Keep the pictures coming...especially the action shots!

Yes, I am trying very hard to improve the unpowered to powered landing ratio I am also trying to improve the design of my models ( im learning ) such that they glide a bit at least and dont just have the engine cut and then act like a Stuka. I know that is my bad design. I remember well when young my 15 Enya Liquidators and Dominators would glide and glide and glide when the engine cut. so, its with me to fix that. I thik Im heading in the right direction now. Especially with the model with a built up wing. There might be something as to why everyone uses them HaHaHa.
