Bloody Wonder, new builds in progress and fleet

Well I have a few things going on in this article. Got a new plane built, another almost finished, and 2 more in the works.

Here is one of my bloody wonders that I built. I have a 30amp Hobbyking esc with a turnigy 2200kv motor.

I got lucky and my plane's balance without battery ended up right at the CG point. Wasn't to happy with the battery hanging out there and had it fly off on my maiden flight on my FT Flyer. Since this is a combat plane and will be whipped around quite a bit more, I decided to add a velcro strap around the CG point to help secure the battery so I don't launch this one off the plane.

I also added to skewers to the bottom of the plane to take a little bit of the brunt from landings to help protect the foam a little and to help balance the plane when I stood it up vertically because it tended to lean a little bit. i also added a skewer on each side near the stabilizers because when I stood it up I had a little flex in the tail section where the fuselage stopped and didnt want to stress that area.

I built a second bloody wonder for my son but he is not ready to fly it yet, he hasnt flown anything yet, still needs more Sim time (He's 3 1/2). I figured it was easier to cut the pieces and build 2 at once then do one at a time, not sure if it really was eaiser though.

Here is my progress on my second Baby Blender so far. Still trying to figure out a few things with it and the cockpit area will more than likely need to be changed to make it look right, kind of figuring it out as I go. A little bit of s low process but hopefully I will end up with a blender that looks different than anyone else has built yet.

I wanted to hide the motor to give it a cleaner look so I added posterboard to the front of the plane and I plan on adding a nose cone and a 3 blade prop. Not sure which one so I anyone has any suggestions I am open to them. I also lowered the turtle deck to give the top of the plane a lower look to go with the cockpit I want to put on.

I went with a single seat design, more of the Pitts style instead of the double open cockpit. I also wanted to hide the servos underneath the cockpit so they werent seen. Still have a few bugs to work out so that everything fits, looks and works right.

I rounded the tail sections a little bit and wanted to change the way the look of the rear turtledeck blends into the tailsection.

Here is a preview of my newest built that I am working on. I plan on making it a swapple and setting up the controls similar to the FT Delta. I plan on running the push rods a little different due to the shape of the control surfaces and I want to hide the servos for looks. I know I ca build it to look good, hopefully it flys good too. i will be posting more on this plane and the baby blender as I get farther along with them.

Here is my fleet so far. just got into the R/C plane hobby and have more time to build than to fly lately. Only have a few flights so far on my FT Flyer, went ok but it was a little windy so it was rocky. Waiting on a day to go fly where the wind isnt crazy. My fleet so far consist of a Bixler 2, FT Flyer, FY Delta, FT Bloody wonder (1 blue and orange, 1 yellow, green, and black), Baby Blender almost, and.... Let me know what yall think of my fleet so far.
