Oh-oh - forgot to put the servos inside the fusilage - oh well. WHERE DID YOU GET PLANS OR DIMENSIONS FOR THE 2 POSTERBOARD BITS FOR THE BACK CANOPY AND THE NOSE PIECE?

I didn't have them on the prints so I just cut it out similar to the blender,for the nose I cut the piece linger attached it to the bottom and than just measured it out from there.

as for the servos I couldn't wait to build it so I decided I would put them in the body like the ft-3d

I eventually want to make a timelapse build video and I was wondering if you used a camera that takes photos at set intervals or if you recorded video and then sped it up.

How did you get the plans on the foam board and what dimensions was it?

first I printed everything in tile so that the inch scale on the print was exactly an inch, I than taped them together and cut them out, I than traced the outside of the plans on the foam board and transferred everything after that

lol not to bad I just built one for a friend last week the whole build was about 31/2 to 4 hours if you lightly trace the lines on the print after you trace the outside it helps when transferring the rest of the lines on to the foam board, the longest part I found was cutting out the prints
