I have managed to find 2 rubber band plane kits on AliExpress that are balsa, and probably not a scam. which of these two would be better for a first timer? i have almost no experience with balsa wood and really want to get into it, i just dont know which is the better choice
If there's anyone here who also lives in south east asia, is there any option to build models here using balsa without scratch building? like at all?
So ive been looking at plans form outerzone, and ive been thinking of trying some basic sheet balsa models. The idea is to try scale or semi-scale for once and start using wood instead of, yknow... cardboard and literal paper. Do any of you have advice for how important the thickness of the wood is for these models?
Now, im a teenager- but ive had this irrational fear for some reason, that i'd need a cane before i hit like 40 or something. I dont know why, i dont have any problems with canes, Im more afraid of the joint pain the cane implies than using the cane. why am I LIKE THIS!?
A few updates, mostly that ive gotten the Cessna 170 built. tail-heavy, but flying.
A few parts have arrived, (body parts, no electronics yet. as expected)
More reaserch has been done, i'm using cardboard in order to prepare for using actual foam board when it arrives, my experience in gliders continues to be useful.
Ive started making an A4 Electric free flight aircraft based on plans on a profile plane from Outerzone, no capacitor yet but engine is there
Week 2.
See you next wednesday
Inspired by older videos, and as preperation to design and make my own model- I've started work on a rubbeer band powered Cessna 170. I am using only a basic gwillows kit and plans that I had to scale and resizemyself. The plan is soon after I get this flying, I will be able to convert this to Remote control (Two or Three Channel); then take this knowledge onto making more complicated models.
Week 1.
See you next Wednesday
This is an amazing game. Full Stop.
But, there is one thing I feel is lacking (note: I prioritize lore more than most players, so take this as one opinion from one player)
Lore, Story, Plotlines- Worldbuilding.
Now, I understand this game is early on in development, and what is there now is more than enough for a game that is about trying to land a Taildragger in 20 Knot crosswinds.
But if there is anything that I would add, it would be a basic story.
An explenation on why we are flying the bush plane, who the cargo is for?
Are we working for a company? Or freelancing solo?
Why are we on the moon of a gas giant?
Why are we using bush planes to transport items?
Are we the only one doing this?
SO many questions.
But, take this with a grain of salt here-
Descriptions.
Descriptions of the cargo we transport.
Now, again, opinion of one single person. so take it with a grain of salt.
Amazing gameplay, I just want to add a story to it.
Sorry if I feel like i'm pressuring you.
