The J*Scott is a custom made RC scratch build from FliteTest.com author ExAir!
Josh Scott unveiled a surprise today, a personalized foam board airplane created by Ed (aka: Experimental Airlines)
The custom foam board airplane incorporates everyday items like the plastic gifts cards setup to create a detachable rudder.
The J* Scott features many of the great designs that Ed shares in his videos and articles.
Designed specifically with Josh Scott in mind, the J* Scott features a rugged construction along with a great custom vinyl design.
A Josh Scott personalized airplane wouldn't be complete without a bomb drop! This "boom bay" bomb drop is engineered to accommodate a variety of items including darts, para-shooters, and even a 12oz soda can!
The foam board airplane is covered in vinyl sticker and the vinyl graphics were designed by Roman Serebryakov.
The J* Scott is equipped with flaps making it a STOL (Short Take Off and Landing) aircraft.
This was the first time Josh has ever flown the maiden flight of a plane, and the first time Josh has flown a plane with his name on it as well!
Chad trimmed the plane after Josh had some flight time, and he didn't want to give back the sticks! The airplane is really fun to fly.
The airplane handled great in the cold windy weather and Josh started to get the hang of the plane after just a few minutes.
Unfortunately, the GI Joe para-shooter got caught on the rubber band when Josh tried to drop him and the plane took a nose dive into the ground and broke a prop.
There's much more we'd like to try out on this scratch built airplane, like the flaps and soda can bomb drop. We'll be bringing this back again real soon!
We'd like to thank Ed for sending out this fantastic scratch build RC airplane!
The plane flew great and is engineered to hold up to crashes. The design is expandable for FPV platforms and more. It was great to see Ed's vinyl sticker covered foam board design first hand.
