Maidened the Foamingo flying boat yesterday. As temporary markings, I stuck on a few bits of cheap duct tape. To get the model off our grass strip, I built in an aluminum tube sewn to the wing LE bulkhead to hold a music wire axle.
Aside from needing more elevator throw and a bit more power, the model flew well and landed fine. Now that the maiden is done, I've pulled off the tape and will paint the model flamingo colors.
With a wind speed of 30 mph plus on the top of the hill, I just had to fly the Ron Broughton designed Balistik, a 60" chevron wing designed for EPP60 man on man racing
I take you through how to build your own working "Turboramjet" engine from the ground up! From the combustion chamber to the fuel and ignition system this video covers it all, I even show...
