I designed this kit. These kits are aerodynamically analyzed before the structural design. It comes with a pdf assembly manual, unfortunately you did not read it carefully.

I designed this plane. It has an pdf version of the assembly manual.

If this from ebay, then why are you blaming Amazon in your title?? Reported.

Demons in the Background lol

Could you post the e-bay link?

Balsa plank style line-control airplanes often were sold with similar wing blanks. The plans usually had you profile a normal wing shape with a wood rasp, files or sanding blocks. Better kits included balsa profiled leading edge sticks that we could glue on. Foam is easy to round over the edges with the same kind of tools. There's no way to add color without adding weight. Colored tissue paper is one of the lightest methods and also makes foam stronger. Water down some white glue to a water like solution and apply a very thin coating to the model with a spray bottle set to mist. The precut colored tissue paper can be layed on top of this misted surface but wait until it dries to a tacky state otherwise the color could run in the tissue paper. The jap tissue paper supplied with kits didn't run but cheap crepe paper for example would streak and run like crazy when it gets wet. We actually glued down the tissue paper on balsa wings and bodies and after the glue was dry we misted the tissue paper with water until it was soaked. It would shrink up even tighter than silk once it dried. There's probably a video these days of someone covering an airplane model with tissue.

No flying video?

What is the Name of the plane. ? Link please

there may be a drying agent you can apply too?

It may cost a lot more but gallows makes the best wooden airplanes. They’re expensive but they come out beautiful and they have all inch instructions and illustrated plans. It’s worth the money I used to build them all the time. I don’t support China.👎👎😎 good luck👍👍😄

Is is an S800 I have had one for a couple of year now equipped with the latest inav full GPS with RTL and all the other good stuff it flys great, hope you have some fun😊

Awesome thanks!

Hi, great job, can U tell me what is the span size of the wing ?

Do you have the files disponible for us? I also wanna try to make one

Putting rudder throws to.minimum reduces tip stalls

Its an exact copy of the Tower hobbies late 90s arf just made it a tail dragger.

Have you looked into 3D printing parts?

Hate to see that

Have you looked for this kit online? There are a lot of them out there that are free and may have what you need for instructions. Just a thought.

Great thanks!

KRV RC Review, Subscribed because your videos are so much fun!

Nice, hard to not look at the view though!

905 strange wing. apparently, no center section. the vert-stab could be a little taller. should be equal to slightly less-than fifty percent of the horiz-stab span. d

727 'adding' mass at the tail should be avoided. dom, remember. maybe, glue fillets would do the job, with less mass. obviously, the use of a tail wheel makes the tail Heavier. did you even consider using a (low-mass) skid. 733 there should be NO extra, cosmetic bends in a PUSHROD.! this is not an opinion. d

005 the slope of the vert-stab le is/was excessive. about 75 degrees is nominal. for a miniature vert-stab. there is one problem with making a tail boom from a panel material. it is this: there Will be excess mass in the tail boom, Unless corrective steps are taken.! specifically, construction of the tail boom should accommodate the use of (mass-reducing) cutouts. 150, 915 for a tail dragger, the main lg should be located directly below the wing leading edge. this is not an opinion. for proof, look at full-sized tail draggers. 515 servos go Near the cg, not aft-of it.! this is not an opinion. it's about distribution of mass (dom). similarly, the mass of aileron servos should be located forward-of thirty percent of chord. there is Nothing Wrong with a long pushrod.! assuming it is correctly made/fabricated and installed. conversely, there is 'nothing good' about a short pushrod. 920 the use of full strip ailerons is not recommended, on anything that is not a cropduster.! 924 the root chords of the stabs Should be Equal in length. d

you sir, just made my day! thanks for taking the time to spread the news

What thickness of basswood did you use for wing center? Thank you.

Skill level#5……interesting,something for the skilled builder. I guess next they would leave pieces out on purpose.lol…..it’ll be a fun build

Wow, who'd have thought that you could draw round something circular? Thanks for the tip. Have you got any clues on how to draw a straight line? I'm completely stumped...

Have some of the same stuff at home .

A hybrid balsa foamie. Interesting. Give us updates.

So, What happened ? Did Horizon replace it ?? Don’t leave us hanging !

Shaved over a lb off. Has to feel a lot different in flight.

“Chi-nah”.

thats a nice plane with a strong motor

Thankyou .

You had a nose heavy cg , this is why when you chopped throttle it dived ! And esc cutoff because of over amps or thermal cut off you was heavy on the throttle my guy

I love Lazy Bees, great fun on a summer's evening with mates down the patch !! could be the engine thrust line was a bit off..

First! Im going to get one and test it on my edge 540, thanks!

I was trying to find a foam version somewhere a year or two ago. Very cool! See you at flite fest in a couple months?

Nice one! Did you make this or is it store bought? If you made it, how much does a hobby like this usually run? Very interesting and enjoyable hobby!

That's awesome, great build!

Good job

Cool 😎

Looking good! I'm excited to see it take to the air!

I wanted to build one of those to get back into the hobby

Good

Looks great!

You can shape the foamboard in the same way if you peel the paper off and then glue several layers together, it's not going to be as strong as the balsa thought.

Very nice!
