    First VPP F3P Freestyle Plane Build

    Have you flown it yet? Curious about your impressions on VPP I built a METIS recently - went well - test flights were good - just hung it up until my indoor venue starts in the fall

    IMAC is good for me - in my limited view - just different ends and styles of the same flight envelope.

    The Inferno

    Thought it was time for a little update. Though the Inferno is intended as a indoor, depron alternative, I have been using mine as a 3D "driveway flyer". In the summer, there is often a window of time, either just after sunrise, or just before sunset, when the winds die to near zero. I have...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    CG and trim fine tuning usually take me a dozen or more flights - just tuning it all in just right. Sounds like you may be on a similar path - no worries - just take your time and make it perfect for you

    No Wait I think I've got it Keep the foamie on the boat when the wind dies, deploy it to detect wind in front of the boat, then discreetly shift to that side of the course. One downside - our hobby will soon be regulated by both the FAA and the Coast Guard

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    OK, look at the build log at the very beginning of this thread - look for the phrase "optional reinforcements" I think the term "Blender mod" was in the build instructions for the Inferno - but I could be mistaken . Concepts and goals are identical. If I am using the wrong terms - perhaps one...

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    I always assumed it was called a blender mod because it would keep the airframe intact even in the most violent of maneuvers

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    reinforcements of key stress points with blemderm tape and welders cement. I first learned about it by reviewing the build logs on this forum - It was one of the Twisted Hobbies planes - might have even been the Laser build. Let me poke around a bit - I might be able to point you directly there

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    Some advice from one who has been where you are going: Apply the "blender mods" now, not later. Take your time to get the CG just right . Both are in the category of "wish I had done that" Flying my Laser this morning - predict you will be smiling soon

    Twisted Hobbys Crack Laser, with a few new build tips

    Actually, we are all like that - it has to do with how human minds work - you can probably only think about one major thing and a couple of minor things at any one time - everything else has to be intuitive and nearly automatic or you will not keep up. The challenge is to build your skills from...

    Might want to put the CG a bit more toward the nose by 1/4 inch or so until you are fully comfortable. You can always move it back later
