This is the story of my Versa wing Build, Tune and Crash. It all started when I bought some foam board at Officeworks ( Australian shop for office supplies and craft). I bought green and yellow foam and printed out the plans.
Before I knew it i had already asselmbled 1 wing ( I used the dining table as a workbench! Not good to get hot glue on!)
Before I could finish, I went on a holiday to Rottnest Island and got some awesome photos.
And met a local quokka!
But now its time to get back to the scratch build. I cut out the Simple firewall using a simple tool. The Hacksaw.
And put it together with a Turnigy 1100kv motor and 8x6 prop with a 30amp Turnigy plush ESC running on a 2200mah 3s
Now the sad part. I forgot to take photos of the finished product but it was pretty scary ( good enough since im only 13 ). It had green winglets and elevons.
Then came the maiden. I was very nervous and didnt want to wreck my first scratch build. I launched it and it went up and down into the ground. My HD camera flew off so theres no footage. I tried again launching it alot harder but the battery flew out. Then, when im about to give up. I try one more time and as soon as I launch it, i hit full up elevator but i had very high throws and it did a tight loop and for some reason the MOTOR flew off! After I had put so much hot glue on it. Here is the final product:
I I dont think I will fly for awhile now.

I buy my foamboard from foamboards.com.au works a great deal cheaper than office works. The sheets are also larger. Thought I would mention this as bulk building material leads to great things.
