Hello dear Flite-Test Family,
today I finished my first completely self-made Plane. I started with the hobby at Christmas. I got the FT Bloody Baron with a power pack from my parents and was directly hooked. After the maiden flight, which went really well, I wanted to extend my fleet. So I ordered some sheets of Foamboard and started working. I build the plane without any plans and just a blurry image in my mind of how it could look like. I used the powerpod concept so I can just change my planes depending on what I want to fly. And to safe some money ofc. Because I really wanted to be able to land and start my newest addition from the ground I also build a landing gear out of a old hanger and some 5€ wheels I got from my nearest hobby shop. Of course it had to be steerable. I will include some more pictures.
The steering wheel is connected to a rod which goes trough the vertical stabilizer and is the connected to the rudder servo.
As you can see in the picture I added a lid to be able to access the electronics without having to take the powered out.
With this being my first plane which build without any instructions I will welcome all tips and ideas you guys can give me. Please excuse my grammar, I'm still learning.
Greetings,
Viktor
