FT - Slinger

The FT Slinger is a scratch build foam board airplane setup with a swappable power pod. The FT Slinger design was inspired by The Ripslinger from Disney's movie Planes.

David didn't add landing gear since we rarely fly in areas where it can be used.

The FT Slinger has a modified airframe designed off of the FT Spitfire and features the swappable power pod fuselage.

Under-cambered wing tips have been carried over from previous foam board scratch build designs.

The FT Slinger design can be modified to be a racer airplane as well.

This Ripslinger inspired scratch build tracks like an arrow and has great stall characteristics.

The character plane and the racer design of the FT Slinger are both really fun to fly.  

It's not going to do 3D, but it'll still do some fun aerial maneuvers.

Another happy accident, this scratch built airplane is simply fun to fly!
