FT-51 Mustang

To the FliteTest Community;

When FliteTest comes out with a new plane, the boys immediatley get the plans ready for the laser cutter.  We are primarily a fighter jet group, so it was nice to see some slowing flying War Birds get assembeled in our production room.  This article and episode features our 8th Grade student Colton Vogel laser cutting, constructing, and flying the Mustang all in one day, before, at Lunch, and after school.  Colton is having a lot of success with his Safe Receiver ever since pulling it out of the Apprentice, and it proved to be another great teaching aid for this build. 

We would like to thank the FliteTest Team for allowing the public to download and play with this design, the team had a fun time with it, at least 5 were printed before leaving for break.

Thanks for all the support,

Almost completed, he realized later that he put the canopy on backwards, lol!

Easy toss and it flew right out of the hands.

It has a great scale look!

Once again he does it again, way to go Colton!
