I just wanted to take a minute and say thank you to you guys, i built this plane about 3 weeks ago and have since taught myself to fly on it, and now I'm hooked, i have been interested in the hobby for years now but could not bring myself to buy an expensive plane that i was for sure going to wreck, but being able to build a plane that doesn't cost but a few dollars has empowered me to jump in with both feet without the fear of crashing. I'm working on the simple storch now, and i can't wait to fly it. Thanks again guys for all that you do!!

I've made a couple of scratch built planes and decided to take a short cut this time and I ordered your Old Fogey kit. It arrived very fast and surpassed all expectations for materials and the precision of your cutting. You packaged this kit like it was a Ming vase and it, of course, arrived in perfect condition. With your videos and PDF plans you guys put a tremendous effort into this industry. It is great that you produce kits this quality product at this low price. Thanks!!

I used 4 of the screws that came with my servos (mounting screws) for the motor to the plywood, and put a small square of sticky-backed velcro (walmart craft isle) 1"x1" to the back of the ESC and on inside of the right sidewall of the power pod, also attached my receiver the same way, only to the inside LEFT wall towards the back (right in front of the servo tray, when pod is mounted in plane) - worked out great!

Thanks for the inspirational build video and free plans, we had to try it! After about four hours of build time the main sections of the plane are complete and look ok for our first ever RC scratch build. Thank you and God bless

One of my first airplanes back in the 80s was an under cambered old timer stick and covering.
It flew great! I think I will download these plans!

As a beginner, I recommend ft Fogey. It has 3 channels and has a large wing area, so it can glide slowly and is easy to control, so it is good for beginners. thank you

This Old Fogey Got Your Old Fogey To Fly! Had a maiden today and posted the video on my channel.

Very fun plane! I don't have much room at home to fly but it's a blast. I have an over power motor on it currently and it does loops like crazy, awesome build!

Great build and flight! Love the chase plane footage, too. This perhaps the best of the Flite Test series, and that's saying a lot.

This is a great plane. flew mine for the first time today. was tail heavy to start with but flew nicely once that was sorted out.

That was cool! I just happened onto this video and think it is so great. Good Job. I like the fast pace. If you miss something, go back later. Thanks Flitetest...

The inflight shots with tracking?! REALLY cool! Great job guys!!

Safty Mr. Blix !


Keep it going !!

flies really nice, my friend from JC quadcopters build one out of super heavy Australian foam board and it flew amazingly with a 1500 3s, it could fly so slow and i think i could have caught it when he flew by slowly

[KJCTZ]

Love the build video series! It is amazing that a flying machine airframe can be built so cheaply yet fly nice.

A wonderful build and step back into my childhood of flight.

ok thank you for the help . its hard learning all this by myself so thank you for taking the time to help ... i ordered a dxi6 radio hope that will work

Very innovative design, nice slow flyer to relax with.

[davereap]

A nice old style model, and it goes well...The build method is very good, but it needs some shape changes to be more like the Buzzard bombshell..
It wants to have less chord on the wings and be shallower in the body...
What a shame we cant get that cheap and light art board here in the UK... It has given me a lot of ideas...

Beautiful job on a classic looking model that is fun to fly.
Kudos Guys!
