This looks like a great build to try in 3mm Depron withva little AXI motor for indoor flying.
I am also going to build one in 6mm Depron with a 250W 1500Kv motor.
Happy landings everybody!

What kind of paint do you used on the Dollar Tree foamboard? I have tried the cheap "Apple Barrel" acrylic craft paint but have had issues with it warping the paper after it dries.

Hey! Cool Build. I just started on my Baby Blender today. I increased the size by 5%. All that is left is installing electronics. I will be using a Turnigy Prop Drive Series 35-36A 1400Kv / 550W swinging a 8.75 x 8.75 APC with a 2200mAh 3s LiPo and a 40a ESC. Coupled with HK 9g Digital Servos and a Turnigy 9x. Pics to come soon and hopefully a maiden!!

Hi there, great video and instructions. I am new to this flying and building stuff but did I miss the instructions on the landing gear plans, wheel size and their hardware? Also, is the 8x4 prop also used with the NTM Prop Drive motor?
A request; how about plans for a 4 channel low wing trainer/sport plane using this power pod? Thanks again.

Probably your best build video to date. Nice.

Do y'all have a sheet that has exact measurements for the fuselage, tail, horizontal stabalizer, etc.?

Josh,

Great instructional video. Great looking planes. Great idea for the swappable series. I liked this video so much that I've built two of the Baby Blender Bipes, one for me & one for my son, in the last week. Two more on the way, one for my father and another for me just to have a different paint scheme. I maidened the first one last week and with a few clicks to trim her out she's awesome! The second one "Baby Blender Baby Two" is set up per your 4s recommendations. Let me say this...she be bad. I maidened her in 10+ mph winds this morning, cause I couldn't wait, and she handled beautifully. She can be flown fast or slow, high or low and she floats like a feather and can turn on a dime. The winds being 10+ on the second flight she elevator'ed in and sat down on the runway. Again, thank you so much for this, I can't remember having so much fun flying...and to think only $3.00 worth of foam and I'm pretty sure ready to fly, not including receiver, she came in at $47.00. Not bad my friend...not bad. To everyone else thinking about building this plane...stop thinking and get to it.

Dennis

P.S. where can I post a pic or 10 of my Baby Blender Babies?

Thanks guys for a fun build and a few challenges.The second one always looks better then the first.
Going flying as soon as the weather breaks.

I'm new to this scratch building but I love the look of this plane. I don't know if I missed it somewhere, but I was wondering what the length is on the throws were.

hey guy's,saw the vid and was inspired! built a slightly larger verson of the blender and built the bloody wonder as well!! will be posting a vid this weekend on you tube of the maidens of both planes!

hi everybody, looks like there is no particular angle for motor mount, is that correct? non downside to the right modification?

thanks!!!

Found a simple trick.Hurt my thumb and could not hold the single edge blade the way I wanted.started to use a small needle nose vice grip to hold the blade.much better control..
Just wanted to pass it along.
Thanks Josh. plan to build a few Bloody wonders and Blenders till the snow melts,I might put some ski's on if I get board.

I am sorry if this would be a wrong place to find it, but I am looking to get this 1200kv motor for BabyBlender and also 3 9g servos. I have a 2200kv motor and 10A ESC I could trade, also some props; I just hate to order motor and servos and wait for another week or two, those are the only things I am missing for the plane :(

sorry if it's already been stated, but what are the dimensions of the wheels used on this plane?
Log In to reply

Does any one know what the angle of incidence is for this one

Thanks.

Thanks for the great video, just finished building mine. Waiting for electronics from hobbyking to do the maiden flight
Log In to reply

I have seen this question asked but not answered. What is the C.G. on this build? I have it built and waiting for electrics. I can't wait to get it in the air.

Should I build in down thrust and right thrust into my power pod? I know the nutball called for some.

Hi there, a big fan of the series since I discovered your site, and truly in love with your swappable series, build already the Flyer, Delta, Old Fogey and now in the process of finishing the Baby, I'm having lots of fun with it!
Since I can't find the foam board you mention in Germany (so far I found 2 companies that make something similar: m2products.com in the UK and their sister company isopor.de in Germany, but only sell to companies apparently) I'm using High density 5mm Depron (http://www.farben-hilkert.de/) that so far is working pretty good.
I am doing some mods to this model, I wanted t know if someone tried to close the lower part of the fuselage? So far Ive closed the rear area, and planing to make a hatch in tha front. Also, I'm thinking of reinforcing the Landing gear support with a 1mm plywood. The last mod I have in mind is to glass most of the plane with 25 gr fiber and polyurethane acrylic after the experience I got with glassing my EZstar. Anyone tried any of this?

What kind of paint/brand/color is that orange? I have to have it

I used the link for the NTM Prop Drive, and when I got the motor the shaft is coming out the wrong end. It looks like I would have to mount the motor on the inside of the firewall. What am I looking at?
Log In to reply

I BUILT A FT BLOODY WONDER AND A BABY BLENDER BUT THESE ARE MY FIRST ELEC. I BOUGHT THE ALTERNATE MOTOR (SUPPO 2208/14 1450KV) AND THE ALTERNATE ESC (SUPPO 18A ESC) BUT YOU DON'T SAY WHAT BATTERY TO USE, THIS IS PROBABLY A NO BRANER FOR YOU GUYS BUT TO AN OLD NITRO MAN NEW TO ELEC. IT IS LIKE ANOTHER LANGUAGE AND I UNDERSTAND YOU CAN DO A LOT OF DAMAGE IF I DO IT WRONG.

I have the control parts and motor from a Hobbyzone T-28 and I have 2 questions. Would it be possible to build a smaller version from foamboard and would it be possible to build a second one without aileron control?
