Tuesday Nov 19th

Hello Everybody! Last week was amazing! Thanks for everybody's effort! We got a lot done last Tuesday but we still have a long way to go.
    This week we will be finishing you FT Flyer (or getting close), and starting on your Powerpod. Make sure to bring the following items. (if you have them)
1. Knife (razor blade is the best)
2. Electronics & Soldering stuff
3. Painters tape, masking tape, and packing tape.
4. Your own color of spray-paint (I'll be bringing Red, Blue, Green, and Gray)
5. Your own Glue gun, you don't want to have to wait in line to use somebody elses'.
6 Your foamboard and plans.

Another thing we'll be doing is the Pheonix RC simulator, and another helicopter practice! I'm bringing my miniature MCX2 for those who haven't tried it.
I will be working on a new plane along with you guys! (It's the FT Bloody Wonder)

Heres the pictures of what we're building tomorrow

This is not going to be done in all one day, so be patient. Also, the supplies I'm bringing tomorrow cost $50, so if a few people could bring donations or something of the sort, it would be much appreciated!
 Thanks and see you tomorrow!

PS. Here are some photos of planes I've built using the swappable idea.

November 5 2013

Tomorrow we will be collecting every bodies emails and I will send each person a copy of the supplies you need to buy. (Your motors, props, receiver, transmitter, ect) we will also be discussing what each of these things do to help your plane fly. It will be a very important day, so be sure to come! Also bring anything you want to fly indoors or outdoor. (Outdoor is only a maybe, depending on the weather.) 

A heads up for next time... Bring a couple sheets of foambaord. (5mm) we will be cutting out your airframe! Also bring clear packing tape, hot glue guns, and a razor blade, it's a lot easier to have your own than to wait in line to use somebody else's. (again, this is next time... Nov 12th) Then we will go from there. 
Good luck and fly safe!
