Built entirely from scrap balsa this little 'Scraps' model stretched my skill level to the limit but it was well worth it. Flying starts at 22:05, cheers. Plans and info here: www.indoorfree...

I'll try a longer motor for a longer flight, I really enjoyed this quick build model, it should give a lot of fun, cheers.

I save all my scraps as well! My fav part is the prop, super nice job on this little build. I finally secured the property for RC Taildraggins new flying site, hopefully within 12 months it will be ready for first flight! Cheers Cliff!

Hi Jerry, the prop is really crude compared to some of the amazing prop techniques I've seen on KZbin. I saw the aerial view on your FB page, I think it's just about big enough although it looks like it needs a fair amount of brush clearing 🤔👍

Nice video once again, Cliff :-) And relaxing. Not interested in freeflight, rubber-power or ultra light - BUT, still learned something new. Fun! Good entertainment. Love your build videos ❤ I like how you keep "the back in the old days"-ways alive. Will eventually use some of the stuff I learned from your videos for a balsa build. Eventually 😄

Hi Greg, if you mean the standard grocery bag, well yes, but if you go for the really very light bags usually found in the fruit aisle these are much lighter. On the other hand if you can get a disposable apron they're credibly light plastic as well and come in several colors 👍
