My very first build...EVER

[IHalterman]

I have never built ann RC plane (I've never flown one yet either). As a child the only models I built were snap togethers. I'm very proud of the job I did on this. Now, the next buiild will look even better.



Thank you RC-Help for the easy plans and the great videos.

That looks really good. Only thing I see wrong with that is your knife is not sharp enough and tore the foam instead of cutting it. other than that, I can't wait to see some electronics on it and in the air. Any questions you have, you just let us know.

Oh, and welcome to the forum!

 

[IHalterman]

Right now the plan is to try and save the wing with a little light sanding. As far as electronics, that will have too wait until I get and crash my E-flight Apprentice.
I plaan on buying a DX6i at some point too, so maybe then I'll grab some servos and the like.

Again, thanks.

It's my pleasure. This plane was created out of sheer boredom here at work and made to look like the famous Telemaster. some day I will finish the telemaster and I will be able to compare flying styles and adapt any changes to the trainer.

Nice job! Make sure to use a sanding block on the foam, and it'll turn out great!

 

[IHalterman]

Thanks for the tip.

By the way Tony, I burnt my thumb wiping away hot glue.
I can't say you didn't warn me.

 

[Tony]

lol, I burn myself every time I build something. Some day I will learn. Okay, maybe not lmao.

LOL i nearly poked myself in the eye with a soldering iron today. Now that would have stung a bit.

 

[IHalterman]

Nahhh. Just rub some dirt in it. You'll be fine.

 

[murankar]

In the army they would have said: "drink water you'll be fine."

 

[IHalterman]

I had to resist that urge. I'm a paramedic now. I have to use more advanced procedures.

 

[murankar]

Ya the IQ around here is not to high. Ya they past a test, but that test does not test for IQ just skill level.

Come on now my almost son in law is a medic! Lol. He will be on his way to ft. Hood Tx. The end of the week!

 

[murankar]

I guess than it must be a signal thing over here.

 

[IHalterman]

Nah, it's Army wide. I was a combat engineer and we had it. I just think some people can ignore the stupidity better than others. Breeze, thank your "Almost" son-in-law for his service for us. Remind him that he is doing a job that 95% of the country can't or won't do.

 

[breeze400]

I hear you. He just got back from Afganistan a few weeks ago.

 

[murankar]

Hey let him know I will be in Texas at the end of September. I will have an address after I get down there.

 

[breeze400]

Will if I can. I think they are leaving today for Tx.

 

[murankar]

I should be there by the end of September. I am looking at on post housing at this point. I also found out my new unit is scheduled for deployment in the summer of 2013. I have now info just rumors for now. As I hear more I will post what I can to keep you all informed.


BTW: hows the build going?
