This is my 1/3 scale piper l-4. I originally bought the plans off of ebay for about $20 vs. buying a 1/3 scale kit for $2,000. This is my first ever rc scratchbuild I have ever done. I started the project in December 15, 2012 at the age twelve and have built only using my spare time.
The plane has welded steel tubing functional gear and will also have a 2 cylinder 53cc gas engine.
Overall whe nfinished it will weigh 26lb have a 15ft wing span with flaps flaperons and 6 inch inflatable bush tires.
I started my first scratchbipuild at twelve, also a pipercub. Similarities end there.
You have talent sir. Period. Do you have any idea of a completion date? Beautiful job, I know 50 year olds who could not do that if they tried.
Great job.
