I am a tight wad and the Mrs. is even tighter so to keep everyone as happy as possible, the cheapest of materials are used. 1/2a being the smallest planes and only having about 90 feet of space in the back yard to fly, DT Foam Board is my best friend. I have built an Osborn platter, a profile white lightning and have on the table a full fuse and sort of built up wing White Lightning.
This one, a pseudo copy of the Musciano Golden Hawk, awaits the last few bits and the electric power I have used for all of them. Hextronik 2730-1500kv 12 amp speed controller, 6x4 prop and 370 lipo.
I love what all the competitors do on this site, I have learned a lot but are there any others that just like to put something in the air and fly it wherever without a pattern in mind?
