Cessna L-19 'Bird Dog' RC Plane from Foam

All started with my friend Hendi, he wanted to build a huge scale of my Piper J Cub plans, 2 meters in wingspan, and then I offered him to build my new RC model design, although I haven't got it ready yet but he agreed, so I made the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog in just one night. I let Hendi to build his huge scale RC plane, the result is stunning with white red color scheme, it's very beautiful. The main material is 5mm Depron foam or foamboard. To add the realism I 3D printed a pilot figure with my new Bambu Lab X-1 Carbon 3D printer, the result is awesome, a very fast printer and still with good quality print result.

I say YES! to floats ! Probably a little bit tricky on water, maybe requires a bigger engine? I would appreciate skis also but snow is rare in your place judging by the nature . This Cessna is a little big monument, one kind of The aircraft ! Slow and calm flight. What kind of bird could you build to reach slowest speed ? Bushplane STOL style. Huge flaps, slats, .. Here a little list of aircrafts I like and maybe someone you would like to make : Fouga magister Super Etendard Beechcraft King Air 200 Antonov AN-2 Couzinet Arc-en-ciel (Aéropostale figure) Carreidas from vol 714 Tintin Porco Rosso airplane Too many... Plus I already have several from your hangar on my wish list. Anyway I agree size matter, flight of bigger model are easier to do realistic. Have a good day!

[@daviddavids2884]

information 9:57 the mass of the wing-located servos Should be located Forward of the main spar/30% of chord. CF should NEVER be your 1st choice.!!! cf is HEAVIER than the 'same amount' of wood (such as pine/poplar/spruce). the use of cf for the half-main spars has resulted in there being a greater amount of outboard-located mass in the main wing. you may know that such outboard-located mass tends to adversely affect roll-axis stability. d

[@PS-HAB]

All fans of aircraft modeling, I have such a question, if this model was assembled with the function of manufactured flaps, then why were they not used on takeoff and landing? So the model is beautiful, and I want to assemble it too, and I will try to do it like Sky Arrow, which I am happy with now. 👍 This is the second Sky Arrow model, slightly modified, I changed the design of the wing and, as on the first model, I closed it when I was shooting a flight video, I used flaps during takeoff and landing. kzbin.info/www/bejne/oJenZGtvmJdrfLM

[@JuliusPerdana]

Because I'm not familiar of using flap, it still manageable without it

[@p1xelman]

Can this model be a good choice for beginners? I imagine so due to the high wing?

[@JuliusPerdana]

in term of easy flying yes, but for the weight and cost, it's not for beginner. Try to build Cessna 172, you can find it also in my channel, or Wilga
