New foam board twin boom! Its the second plane I’ve built
It’s struggled to fly well, but I think it’s because I’m a new pilot and it’s much less floaty compared to the other one I made. I’m hoping to get better before I break the poor thing, we’ll see
Whoa, plane looks to be pretty big going off the scissors/marker in the background. Looks like a fun project!
It’s sizeable! 40” wingspan! It did multiple cartwheels in the snow and survived without any damage so I’m happy about that
I've heard that "push" planes that have a significant amount of the plane in front of the propeller are harder to fly.
I wouldn’t doubt that. I like the propwash going over the tail, makes it easy to recover from a stall since you can force it over. The main reason I chose a pusher design is I still have a tendency to plow the nose into the ground and I want to protect the motor and prop
Yeah, I've broken a couple of props with them. I'm a
badnew enough pilot that I'd rather deal with broken props than a difficult airframe.
