I’m starting my first ever RC plane, a Flite Test Bushwacker. The Bushwacker is an STOL plane and will be built from foam board. I have a good friend who has been trying to get me into RC planes for a while, especially since he’s seen my ship models. He offered me the guts for one a few days ago and gave me the link to Flite Test’s website, where the plans are free. You can buy a quick build kit from them, too, with all parts laser-cut. But, this is me we’re talking about. I can’t pass up a good build. I printed the plans out in tiled format. I’ll turn them into a sheet this weekend.

Tennessee is coming along very nicely by any standard! The fact that this is your first model makes it that much more impressive!

Looking for a card model of the Arizona
GrandpaPhil replied to Dion Dunn's topic in Card and Paper Models
You’ll have fun with it. I have enjoyed my card ship models enough that I’m on my third one right now. -

If you have a photocopier, you should be able to resize that engine kit relatively easily. Just figure out the scaling difference and do a manual scaling. That’s how I rescaled everything for my Prince de Neufchatel and Hannah builds. For such a small scale, I’d use really thin card or regular paper when rescaling though.

@Dr PR wrote a most excellent guide to rigging a schooner on this website. I used this extensively while rigging my model of the schooner Hannah (much older, but still very similar). I strongly recommend giving it a read.

About the NRG
If you enjoy building ship models that are historically accurate as well as beautiful, then The Nautical Research Guild (NRG) is just right for you.
The Guild is a non-profit educational organization whose mission is to “Advance Ship Modeling Through Research”. We provide support to our members in their efforts to raise the quality of their model ships.
The Nautical Research Guild has published our world-renowned quarterly magazine, The Nautical Research Journal, since 1955. The pages of the Journal are full of articles by accomplished ship modelers who show you how they create those exquisite details on their models, and by maritime historians who show you the correct details to build. The Journal is available in both print and digital editions. Go to the NRG web site (www.thenrg.org) to download a complimentary digital copy of the Journal. The NRG also publishes plan sets, books and compilations of back issues of the Journal and the former Ships in Scale and Model Ship Builder magazines.
