Just some of the planes I built. The main material is foam board from National Bookstore, reinforce with bamboo skewers, or spruce and balsa and some with carbon fiber tubes or strips. I enjoy scratch building them as much as flying. Scratch building keeps my mind active, my hands busy and my drawing skills sharp.

I run out of IPS motors, that's the reason for the 250s and it did not do well. After several flights, one of the motor over heated and burnt.
I love A-1os.

Here are some first on this plane:
• this is my very first scratch built plane to use a foamboard
• my first plane to use a lipoly battery. no more nicads or the likes on my planes.
• my first plane to use my Hitec Optic6. before that, my venerable Futaba Attack4 is my main tx.
• my first plane to actually do a ROG (raised off ground). all of my planes i usually hand-launch.
• this is the plane i used to train myself on proper landing. before that, all my landings i considered crashes. hehe.
