@Fishbowl1121 Yes, it is a cheaper approach. Scratch building can be a fun project to do. The hardest challenge is getting it to fly, unfortunately. You also have to know that the electronics you get are ones that will work well with each other. If you scratch build, you will have to get a controller as well. I think there's a new one on the market called the DXe. It's around $100 and will serve you well for a while. It has six channels, which means that you can add retracts and flaps.
@Fishbowl1121 I did have to save up for that plane. However, there is a much smaller version that comes ready to go with the controller and all of those goodies. It's $130 and self levels. It's what I learned off of so I'd definitely recommend it! Here it is.
@Fishbowl1121 it's modeled after the CubCrafter's Carbon Cub SS. The rc one is made by Eflite, and is called the Carbon Z Cub. Carbon Z is the foam it's made out of, which has carbon fiber infused in it.
@MrSilverWolf lol, I'm guessing you live near an RC field like I do.
Also, I'd recommend this. It's a ready to go with everything. It can fly itself and is what I learned off of. Just expect to invest thousands after you learn!
@MrSilverWolf I will upload a public post for the Dornier just in case others want to use it as a building base, rather than making it look scale. Also, yes, I am doing RC planes. Are you interested as well?
@NativeChief1492 yes, and I'm so committed that I will take those pictures.
Talk about flight instruments!
Bus!
The only thing missing is the Stuka siren! Nice work!
I've already had my sneak peek
@Ihavenorealideawhatiamdoing In the colors of the Royal Air Force or the Nazis?
@josef733 Thank you!
@saturn28 Hello!
Been on one of these before, you nailed the paint scheme!
Mk. XIV
Luckily I made my account summer of being 13
I've never seen anyone put that much detail in dive brakes!
Been a while since someone else made an H-4!
@Testin123 the cockpit is there for a good perspective and a crude windshield for the actual cockpit.
Tom Hanks says thanks! My cat has dandruff and I thought that was peculiar. @Kevinairlines
@ZephyrSystems I love prop engines over turbine, so be expecting your 247 as well as a DC-3 remake
Spitfire still better. However, wonderful recreation. WWII is a fascinating topic.
@ForeverPie Oh lol
@Fishbowl1121 Thats why I wake up!
@Fishbowl1121 That will work
@Fishbowl1121 look up drone controller maybe and seek?
@Fishbowl1121 it will help, but you would have to get rid of the ailerons. Adding roll to a plane your learning off of can put you in bad positions
@Fishbowl1121 it depends. What is it called?
@Fishbowl1121 do you know how to fly a non-self leveling aircraft?
The controller is actually $60. Even better!

@Fishbowl1121 Here's a video of it. I fly it more like a cub though.
@Fishbowl1121 it's actually quite fast. It has a big motor which is power hungry. That's why it has a 25 volt battery
@Fishbowl1121 it is. The struts are just for scale looks. There's a carbon fiber spar in there.
@ForeverPie ?
@NativeChief1492 That sound like I can do that. Just leave the list and I will get to it as fast as possible
@MrSilverWolf good luck!

@MrSilverWolf wonder why. The 172 is much more popular
@helilover03 did you see it? It flew over the southern tip when landing
@helilover03 yep
@NativeChief1492 just a brief moment, wanted to get this out and let people know I'm not dead
@ForeverPie I wish I could, but it's been too long and I've moved on to physical planes you can do anything with
@saturn28 of course! It's open to anyone
@MrSilverWolf Is that your 172?
@MrSilverWolf Here you go!

@MrSilverWolf Good luck! And yes, I left a while ago, around November if I'm right.
@TheAviator fixed
@XxcreedexX it will be in a new forum post, most likely after Christmas when the new ones get here
@NativeChief1492 That is one thing I can probably get done
This should run terribly....
Just kidding! Quad cores with 8gb total should be amazing, you could run X-Plane 11 spectacularly!
This is coming from a person with a 4gb ram.
@TheMutePaper Well you never asked
