| Sweet! Did you make the designs yourself or did you follow a tutorial? And what motor will you be using? _________________  If NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsports, does HOMO stand for Honda Motorsports?

Ive never flown a 3 channel plane, but do you usually get a rudder control? If you dont its pretty simple, just dont use it!
If not get a sim, will save you a lot of time. I find it easy to take off, but cant land to save my life! |

| LOL on the rudder....
I had a GP Corsair that I was flying at Nad Al Sheba, the rudder fell off in mid-flight and had absolutely ZERO effect on the flying chartacteristics....having said that, there was no wind so landing was easy..but would have been different if I tried to land in a cross-wind, or take-off without a rudder.
I hear you on learning though...a half-decent trainer should be stable enough not to use a rudder in normal conditions....i.e landing/taking off into the wind.. |

Or a foamie! Get yourself a cheap foam plane...If you crash, everything can be taped back together, unless you damage the electrics...._________________  If NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsports, does HOMO stand for Honda Motorsports?

| Great job Crom! I hope I get to crash.. I mean to fly it when it's done.. | Abdul Basit wrote: | Crom, this might be a stupid question, but how'd you print it out so big? Some of your cut outs clearly aren't A4 
|
Well, if you notice, there are tapes on the edges of the papers used.. Besides, there are paper sizes bigger than A4.. and of course printers that can print on them too..  |

| Yeah...Stared at the pictures for a while and got it. So I deleted the post, lol. Thanks though.
I'm interested in making models and hanging them in my bedroom...Not flying them, I know that's not possible on a student budget like mine...Building them is extremely cheap, and I'm only about 40% done with my mini-plane, and it's SOOO MUCH FUN!
Only trouble is...I'm having trouble finding free models...
HELP? I've only found 2 or 3 on the sites above. _________________  If NISMO stands for Nissan Motorsports, does HOMO stand for Honda Motorsports?
