Hey y'all, As a first timer to TSA, I'm gonna try to compete in the flight endurance competition. Any tips on what to build and just anything in general? That is a beaut by the way, nice job! Thanks.

try to make the wings flat and wide

How does the propeller work? Like at the beginning y'all winded it up, care to explain the process in which you got the propellers to spin as the plane flies?

What type of wood did you use under the wings and for the length of the plane?

Hey, I'm new to TSA how does it work?

[@teslabro5294]

where did you get the landing gear?

[@StacyTiptonLightSportPilot]

Some parts you have to make yourself. From past experience, I wouldn't worry too much about the plane as TSA seems more concerned with the flight log and Leap interview than flight performance. Sad considering the students spend so much time building and flying their planes!!

What size rubber bands did you use?

What material did you use for the wings? I currently have thin balsa but it stays in the air for 40 seconds at most
