For those that are looking for a little speed, I'm currently building a little 20" wingspan funjet to buzz around the site
Auw should come in at 9 ozs
Motor 2800kv with 4.75x4.75 prop
Esc 30 amp
servos x2 6g

I will be modifying the original design to incorporate a laminated canopy so i can get a little more shape into this area, I also intend to reinforce the box fuse corners which will also give me more material to sand more profile into the boxed fusealage. The build so far has been extremely easy
to do and I don't see any immediate faults with the design but only time will tell.

looking good,wot foam is that

Its depron but in black as its all i have left to play with it actually seems a little more dense than the white.
You gonna give a scratchbuilt a try then Jeff ?

I have redesigned the cockpit and nose section to give me more of a jet like front end, Laminated 7 sections to get the canopy roughed out and with a light bit of sanding I came up with this for the front view. The nose and fuselage have extra depron fitted on the inside as this will allow me to remove more material on the external to round the fuse and it will still keep its strength.




This is still at the dry fit stage as I have to pick up the carbon spar sometime this week.

Orr man thats looking awesome.can i skip the cutting out and sanding stage and just buy a flat pack of you lol.

Jeff thanks for the words Its good to hear feedback like that

I know I have said this before but building these planes is real easy to do
I wish I had white depron as the black will be a pain to get colour onto that body.
I work in Stockton most days I take it you use Simon for all your local spares
I do when i want something quick like a carbon spar

yes i do, he's very good if its in stock.can take awhile if its not in the shop.

I'm not going to push the speed angle on this one as I'm only using 2 cell lipos, who knows I might switch out the motor after testing and shoot for the magic numbers.

Yeah thats looking really good Keith, looks much better than the normal blocky looking scratch builds

Carbon spar 3mm £4.99 from local lhs
Kiddies Kite from the local pound shop with carbon and fiberglass spars £1.00 each, its a no brainer really but a good tip if your looking to start a scratch build.

Quick update on the build, Spars are epoxied into place (3 in total) it certainly stiffens up the wing.
The electronics should be here tomorrow then the body can be fitted out and glued up, that's when the shaping starts, it will turn this bird into a little beauty.

Amazing what you can do in a few hours, more pics



Its still mainly a dry fit except for the nose, as stated in previous post the electronics are next.

think I'm having a run up to brc this week for some depron.iv cut out the speedy plans.

nice one keith i think i,ve found the right model for that motor and you,ve got the plans m8 shes a buite

Cheers for the replies guys, servo's are in and the servo protectors are fitted there's not much I can do until the motor is fitted.
Was hoping to maiden at the weekend but looking at forecasts its a no no for flying unless........
Hmmm I have an idea ........

@Phil the plans are there to pickup when ever your ready bud.

Idea is





Takes off great on water/SNOW
