Sounds wicked cool! I'm a little envious of those who can make scratch builds happen  I have read a few articles written by builders and what they can achieve is stunning. Post pics when you have them.

Will do. (If it ever happens. )

My first *MAJOR* balsa scratch-build:

sorry for the poor image quality, my phone`s pictures don`t take re-sizing well

Awesome! What's the status of that build now and what dimensions?

um, i`m about to cover it, and the wingspan is about 3 feet

This is a bit of a catch-22  No idea how tail draggers behave and flying "blindly" in the sim, hoping the real thing is anywhere close.

 

Any of you guys using a simulator (realflight or phoenix or other)?

Tail draggers are very.... Interesting creatures. They work very well for rough field landings, but like to go all over the place if you cant contain their excitement

That's what worries me  I managed to learn to fly helis without any incident but this plane is having me worried. I have absolutely no idea what to expect, having nightmares of p-factors and torque and all sorts of mischief.

They`re not too hard if you get the hang of it

I'm working on a static diving akula sub. I just wish I could put more time into it
