Curt OlsonLeaving myself plenty of room for future improvement, but the little project is starting to come together. #FreeCad #3DPrinting #FliteTest #ModelAircraft
#FreeCAD First time attempting to design 3d printed airplane stuffs. Not 100% ideal, but feels like it could work well enough. Test printing the rudder pieces now and it's not coming out perfect, but also not a total fail. Aircraft will have a wingspan of about 26" and a length of about 22" and hopefuly fly via RC control and electric power. Based on the #FliteTest Tiny Tutor kit (and will require parts from the kit to complete.) Learning as I go ... :-)

Other than velcro'ing in the main battery (and possibly adding some future decorations/paint) it's pretty much done and ready to fly. Looks like next weekend may have some lighter winds and more moderate temps (highs around freezing.) Don't look too close ... the workmanship on this is not my greatest, the wing came out a bit warped, the tail is a little out of square depending on which direction you look at it from. But it should be a nice gentle flier. I'm pondering building a 2nd bigger "glider" style wing for it to make it a super slow flyer.

Dan OachsWell, it looks like it's time for me to play around with Remote ID now that my Flite Test EZ ID module has arrived.
I think I'll also give remote ID spoofing, and remote ID detection a go too while I'm at it.
mcmoyerit's always fun to see something you built actually fly. Even more fun when it's made from 6 sheets of plain old foam board.

Json DohThe smell of the bonfire that the kids made outside adds a profoundly immersive background to the video by #FliteTest about flying an RC plane through a fire tornado that I'm watching.
Clearly smell is the most basic sense of all organisms on the planet. Yet the internet is still not able to transmit it.
