Hey guys thanks for the nice comments! Coroplast is 4mm. With a 2200mah 3s weight is 930 grams. 41 inch wingspan.

Nice job Greg! Thanks for building and sharing your F&L with us.

Thanks Lee. I've since gotten alot of complements from club members on the design. I kindly direct them to this thread so they see where the plans come from. This is my second FnL the other was a small one, both fly great. Also they want me to build it for them. They are all retired, I am not, they think I have nothing else to do 😄.

Funder & Lightning maiden flight (2 min 3 sec)

This is the first wing that I cut for myself using my 4 axis CNC hot wire cutter.

Regards
Ian

Ian,

Great job!! Thanks for building my plane and sharing the video. Please take a few more detailed images of your build and share them with us. I'd like to see more of that wing.

And I agree with your camera man - wicked vibration either from prop or motor. May want to look into that.

Enjoy the F&L!! Get some buddies to build a few and add streamers for dog fights!

Building one now out of DTFB. Increased size a little to 42”. Debating on whether to double or triple the nose and thinking of 3D printing a motor mount that will fit around either the 2 or 3 sheet thick nose.

Planning on a turnigy 2838/8 1100kv motor.

Thanks Lee,

I’m using a prop saver but the prop definitely needs balancing.

I’m really enjoying flying the FnL again and I will certainly take some pics and share when I return home.

Regards
Ian
