Show and Tell

Ni Lin brought in his foam indoor electric 3D model. It had a Jeti ESC, a Pico 100 brush-less motor, 2 li poly cells, and it swings an 11X4 (electric) prop.
Jim Schwab showed his “scrap wood” scratch built model. He designed the plane creating templates and using only the wood from his scrap bin.
The rib template was drawn based on a rib from another plane. It has a 45 inch tapered wing and he plans to use electric for power.
