A simple depron foamie.
Having a spare motor (the stock one I removed from my fun jet) I thought I make a quick and simple foamy. One that's easy to fly nice and light with heaps of dihedral. Something to give my 9 year old daughter a bit of a go at RC flying with when she comes to stay with me. Obviously it had to be super stable and fly nice and slow.
So after a an hour or so doing cad drawings in between other tasks during the week I printed them off Thursday morning and and here's the result.
It's a pusher in an attempt to try an ensure that there is a little crumple zone before the motor and prop bit the turf. Not that that will ever happen Hahahahahahahaha
Here's a pic I didn't take any of the build as I was in a super hurry I think it took about 3 1/2 hours to build her from scratch including the control horns and push rods

“The knack of flying is learning how to throw your machine at the ground and miss.”
"When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your thoughts turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return." ~Leonardo Da Vinci
