    Decided to design and print some snow skis for the Crack Beaver since we just had 4" of snow dropped on us.

    So a buddy of mine built a 60” lazybee as an electric conversion. He loves it but thought it looked. Weird with the electric motor so he asked me to design a 3D printable motor to fit around his outrunner but look like an old COX .049. I think it turned out pretty good.

    A buddy of mine flew my crack beaver and loved it even though he isn’t a 3D pilot. He ordered one for himself and brought it to me a week ago. Got it finished up today and even flew it once before passing it off to him during my lunch break tomorrow.

    I will say from what I have learned flying gliders is they fly a lot different than a normal airplane.

    You would have gotten the plans from Pete over on FG. His user name was Mode1 and Rob AKA rcpilot82 still will laser cut short kits of Petes planes.

    Had fun flying the Crack Beaver with a buddy and his Crack beaver. Was all fun and games until I pulled instead of pushing when in an inverted harrier. 20 minutes and some foamtac tonight will have it good as new.

    I didn't like all the SFG's just being white foam. Taped them all off and took a black sharpie to them. I feel it cleans it up a lot.

    This is for sure going to be true. I've been looking hard at the 35" Fokker.

    Not sure if it ever did it here but I know RCG, FG, and the probro site any picture uploaded direct from my iphone without editing will post sideways or inverted. Generally I will just email or text the photos to myself and that resolves it.

    LOL I may not get through all of them but we get a hour for lunch and I will be flying at the park we have on site at work.

    I would assume you posted from an iPhone. Mine will do that if I post directly from my phone. Generally just email them to myself and upload from my computer to prevent it from happening.

    Crack Turbo Beaver is RTF. Very happy with my first ever twisted hobbies build. Everything fit perfect. Should get a maiden in tomorrow during my lunch break if all goes well. I would try today but i glued the wing on this morning so I want that joint to have a full 24 hours to cure.
