The design and parts fit of this plane is pure art !! I will follow this build to the first flight, and any other builds you do in the future. I would like to see more of your design work on the computer to produce the drawings for the laser cutter also.
I've got a very large assortment of balsa wood that I've picked up over the years cause I used to do a lot of scratch building from plans that I got! Your videos make me want to do it again! I've just recently started flying again from a 20 year break and I used to just fly glow powered planes but I've started back with a few foamies that are electric and have converted some glow planes to electric stuff but I've still got a huge selection of gas and glow engines!
Awesome build! Looks like it is going to be really light weight! Are you building it for electric power? That's some of the best work I've ever seen! I thought I was pretty good but I guess not!
При кінці відео, чрловік допустив серйозну конструктивну помилку. Двигуч причіпив до тонкої частини корпусу. Один, два польоти і конструкція поломиться.
Man, nice work on everything... I use DAP fast n final skimmed over everything, and don't worry about the pin holes. It dries light as dust and sands smooth as glass before you cover. Just wonder if you've ever used the windex method of bending balsa sheets.
Well your a clever Andy superb builder Dan, unfortunately not many people can produce a modern F3a model which is a pity, I built and competed with four of my own designs in the 80s most of us did it was part of the fun.
I know this video is a bought a month old...but I REALLY want to know about that music....the guitar playing at the end was Aaaaaaasome....could you please tell me what CD it is PLEASE....
Currently building an MK Arrow F3A plane from days of Yore, What a change in construction techniques between the 70s/80s F3A scene and the current one. You model is looking awesome, I hope it flies well.
Cheers. I would say though that this type of building isn't typical of a modern day f3a model, the majority of f3a models now are composite. I guess it's easier to 'mass' produce composite models than wood ones. Not as much fun to build though!
