Usually my hobbies are cars and motorcycles.





I've decided to go back to school.. So I sold all my toys. Minus the R6 (First bike stays forever)

I used to fly my dad's kit planes around when was little (trainer style) and thought it would be a fun, fairly inexpensive hobby. I started researching when I saw this thread and decided to start playing with foam. Theoretically I should start with a depron profile plane.. but that's no fun. I decided use some spare pink foam I had around to put together a plane. Aileron controls will be completely hidden, elevators will go through the fuse and exit right before the flaps. No rudder on this one, don't want to complicate things too much whilst relearning to fly. I'm building the plane a little on the heavy side, as I like things that are fast, and i'd get bored playing with a floater.

This is where she sits as of tonight.. I have about 3 hours of labor, and 6$ in materials so far.
