/diy/ - Do It Yourself

Nice! I just got back from helping a buddy build a little foambard biplane, based off of fltetest stuff but intended to be a simple build yet easy to fly.
The plane on the left we built a few months ago and it's been flying great as a 3ch rudder-elevator-throttle plane. The one on the right we built today and it flies pretty decent as well. It's 4ch. Both very slow and forgiving.
The build style is simple: Box for the power pod. Then, two identical fuselage side sheets. Add a couple dowel rods for wing mounting. The wings are single-sheet undercambered, very simple to make. Adding the polyhedral is done by tracing the correct outline using the wing itself, glueing, then using a bent piece of foam as a brace.
