The plane to be known as Fronkensteen 3 is in final assembly. It uses the wing from 2, and the third of 3 custom profile fuselages I have put together. The landing gear is longer and placed forward of 2 for better landings. The rudder is a section of one from an R/C wreck.

Words fail me.

Um...yeah, I kind of agree with Clint. At least it will have a real motor. I've got an Enya .29 with a bent crankshaft that looks like it will fit perfectly. ;D

The words "Be afraid, be very afraid" come to mind. y1

Phil, I am going to have to meet you sometime. Can't imagine what you would do in my stash of wrecked planes. I must say it is different. H^^
-
I love going through piles of wrecked airplanes.
-
That makes my SkyRingStreak look boring in comparison.
The presentation on a trash can is so subtle, some kind of message there I think!
I am pretty good at making piles of wrecked planes- and your welcome to come browse through them any time. Of course, 2 wrecks are in Portland, OR and 1 is in New Mexico. I m headed to Phoenix AZ and hopefully won't add my Twister to the list of shattered planes.

Now let's see, I've got a perfectly good outboard Banshee wing that I dug out of the dumpster at the Sig contest a few years back, and a complete back half of my old Skyray, hmm...

You could clone the good wingtip and make a wing for a 19 powered model.

That's one ugly bird. LL~

It's been considered many times Garf. ;D

I finally applied the first base coat. Now I need to find a way to make paint stick to monokote.
-
Hey Phil,
I hear you can take a scuff pad and scuff up the monokote then it is ready to paint.
-
Lets see some of your masterpieces.
-
Looks really bad after the first coat of color. I have 3 days of sanding to do. I dug out the spray gun. Now if I could only remember the proper pressure to use on the Chinese touch-up gun.
-
I think I have a major problem. When I bought the paint for Fronkensteen, I must not have been paying attention. The Rustoleum I bought turned out to be water based latex paint. This stuff can't be fuel resistant. Would it work if I put a coat of clear regular polyurethane over it?
-
Should work okay as it is not oil based. Make sure the paint has had a couple of days to cure/set. My opinion, not experience. H^^
-
FINALLY DONE! With any luck the first test flight will be tomorrow.
-
Well, it's not as ugly as a Cardinal. LL~ OBTW, the rules state that polyurethane over latex will remain sticky and never harden. Maybe too late? H^^ Steve
-
If you let the latex dry for 3 days, the poly will harden fine. Mine did.

Did you ever hear that song by Johnny Cash about a guy who built a car from pieces he snuck out of the factory every day, "It's a '49,'50,'51,'52------automobile". Put the plane parts in the song and you've got somethin'! Gotta "A" for effort from me Garf!----"dead stik" #^ ;D ;)
-
It is different and I know it will fly as it is too homely not too. Caddilac Automobile was the song that Mr Cash made famous. I always wanted to sing like him. Remember "Get Rythem" about the shoe shine boy, was my favorite.

That car was actually built.

Test flew 3 today. Overpowered, too much pull, needs control trim.
-
Sounds like you need to lhit the weights again. LL~ LL~ LL~Glad it's flying for ya. H^^

LA46 replaced by the Brodak 40, light muffler installed, controls readjusted. It should be better this time.
