FT Duster Scratch Build

FT Duster Scratch Build

Here is a video I filmed of me talking about and flying my FT Duster scratch build. I am getting back into the hobby after about 15 years and just now learning about "electric foamies". I got started with one of the FliteTest kits (FT3D) and now I am making scratch builds like this one. I love flying the planes but I have also found that building them is 1/2 the fun for me. I find the building process to very very rewarding. Rock On FliteTest. You guys are awesome...

Parts used...

• Foam Board = black Elmer's Foam Board

• Motor = EMAX GT2215/09 70g - The 70g "Beef" from LazerToyz

• Prop =  APC Slow Fly 10 x 4.7

• Speed Controller = Suppo 30A Brushless ESC - from Altitude Hobbies
  
• Transmitter = Spektrum Dx8

• Receiver = Spektum AR6115e 6-Channel DSMX Microlite Receiver: End Pin

I used all the parts recommended by FliteTest except the foam board. I used Elmer's foam board instead because it's available at my local arts and crafts store. It is more expensive (about $7.00 per board) than the dollar tree board but I found the paper to be a bit stronger and more durable on the Elmers board. Plus it comes in a bunch on colors too.
