More details on electronics for your Speed Build Swappable Power Pod


The FT 3D foam board scratch build is another addition to the swappable fuselage series.
Be sure to check out some of the other scratch build tutorials before taking on this advanced scratch build.

A full list of the electronics and components is available here. 

If you'd like to purchase the firewall and control horns used in this scratch build, check out our web store!

In the tail of the fuselage, it's a good idea to leave the slots in tact until your are ready to install your rudder.

This foam swappable features a tapered symmetrical wing design.

The two wings are connected with a balsa wood spar setup which has proven to be very strong, holding up after multiple crashes in our tests.

The removable canopy hatch is another advanced design that gives you access to your fuselage as well as creating a streamlined looking aircraft.

The CG of this airplane is directly above the front servo slot. The plans have everything detailed for you.
