Simple cessna 172 swappable   (Cloud Dancer)

 

This is a quick Article about a 172 stlye Swappable Cessna that I built. I have named it Cloud Dancer for when it goes into mass production :)

It is a very simple build with only dtf. There are no rounded or curved parts to worry about just foam board all straight cuts and folds. No poster board to deal with as I just can't seem to get a a nice clean fit with any of my builds with it. The plane  flies great for a newbie like myself ( I've been doing this for 3 summers now , is that still a newbie?) . I have made a couple now and they both fly well. I have  also got an area on the  plans for flaps but have yet to try that

 

 Simple straight forward fuse  optional rudder shown. I used this tail on one plane with no rudder control for just bank and yank flying  

 Ready for some dancing

 

TEST FLIGHT

 oh well back to the drawing board

The plane above is the one in the oops video    wing is now glued to fuse for added strength

 This is a better flight
