"SPAD" Simple Plastic Aircraft Design

[KENNYGLIDE]

Yeah Vince let's see it fly .... could be the encouragement we need ... I am about to resurrect my SPADULATOR again , I have robbed a few parts off it .... maybe take the EVO 45 out and replace it with the OS55AX....

Good idea. Bring some pics, and or plans and c what people want 2 build. Then tell us what we need 2 build it and go from there. Or how about 1 that's been crashed, and show us how 2 repair it. Like using balsa, fibreglass etc?

I'm working on a slightly more advanced depron plane that is easy to draw up by hand. Details and pictures are earlier in the forum

[KENNYGLIDE]

We need to settle on the type of plane to build .... Jason mentioned a pusher like the Bixler as it protects the motor ect in the event of a nose in ...not a bad idea as that would be the most expensive part of a SPAD.....the one Vince has built is a pusher from memory...so maybe good to have a look at it ...having one already built is a really great start if we like look of it ... I will get in touch with him for more detail. ?

How do you go putting a proper propulsion unit on if it's like a bixler? I'm in if I can fit a real engine...

[Liam Walton]

A twin boom like I’m working on now would work fine with IC engines if you make a decent firewall

So when are people going to organise a day or night constructing these new depron planes!! nights are starting to warm up??

[KENNYGLIDE]

Nights sound good ...or whenever suits those interested to get together... Ok ...need some people to get on the forum and put their ideas out there :ie model type ect...I feel a simple delta wing would be a good start...this forum is where we can initiate a plan of attack.?

I like the one Liam has been working on. https://s3.amazonaws.com/assets.flitetes...711294.jpg
Don't know how I'd flick-start a real engine on a twin boomed pusher though...

Ah! come on Marcel. U cant have everything. I like the pic u just put up Marcel. Maybe we should make 1 each and go pylon racing?? I have a 049 Cox that may fit. Liam, how big can we make it? 3-4 ft?
