Yep!y scratch built airship project!
What's that? A Zeppelin I see in the picture?
Steve
Building a kit from your stash is like cutting a head off a Hydra, two more take it's place.

Just about done.
Yeah I glued some wooden fillets and a strip to bridge the gapsw
That's quite the gap. I see you were able to fit the canopy.
I will fill the gaps in the cowling.
Yeah!Over a hundred replies!Personal record!
Yeah, but it's a kick ain't it?
Thanks!Considering all you start with is a bunch of sticks and bulkheads!
That looks awesome man. Nice job.
Awesome Planes! Here it is.I dont think i will attempt to fly it.
That's insane dude!
Was that you doing that 3D? your a wildman.
Right now I'm grounded. My peaks burned out it's ESC and my Super Skybolt and Fokker need batteries. And you know how much those run.
If you were interested in learning 3D, you cant go wrong with this bugger. She is EPP foam. I can put it into the ground all day and she wont break lol I can bend the wing OVER 90 degrees and it wont break.

Dude, that is sweet!

Thank you! Yes I can hoover her; Ive been trying to post the videos but photo bucket is going crazy! I should have them up in a few minutes
I'm very impressed. LOVE the slick! And the Champ is fantastic!
Can you hover her? I've never been able to get that down.
Great work sir!
Philo426, I have been watching this thread for a bit now. I'm glad she is almost finished -- it looks very nice! I built the Guillows Avenger when I was in middle school (for display). It's nice to see some balsa builders around here. I got out of giant-scale when I started school for financial reasons, but here are a few of my newer birds.
I have a few hours in a Champ, but I no longer have access to it so now I fly this one to commemorate those memories. I added a full interior, venturi, full pilot, working door, paint fading, and a few other things here and there:
This is a Dumas Tiger Moth. She now has upgraded contest rubber and a bigger prop. The stock wood was light so I used it. She flys rather well [/URL] This is my 3DHS AJ slick. I prefer scale but I like to dabble into 3d aerobatics as well. She makes 1700 burst watts (!) and 1500 constant on a 6s brick-pack lol I made the Side Force Generators -- they help immensely in post-stall maneuvers. Here I am tapping her rudder on the deck: Annnnnd here is be dumb-fingering her into the ground the same night! Only a few broken stringers. http://vid657.photobucket.com/albums/uu293/ralliart2000/IMG_3223_zpsm4j1qvvk.mp4

Or hang it from the ceiling.
Sounds like fun. If it doesn't fly, you can walk it around
No!I took the motor,battery and receiver from a cheap R/C helicopter I had laying around.May be too heavy to fly but the prop will spin on command.
There doesn't seem to be too much room in that Avenger is there?
Philo,
Here's some pics of my scratch built Fokker D7.
Not easy stuffing the receiver and battery into the fuselage.
Yep!
Hey philo, That's really starting to look like an Avenger now.
I found an engine in my parts stash that looks good.(had to grind down the cylinders to fit the cowling).The crank case cover is not glued on pending the selection and installation of a motor.
