Horizon Hobby Trip
Josh, Austin, Alex and Stefan had the opportunity to go to Horizon RC Fest, meet the Horizon Hobby team and fly some of their planes including: the X-Vert, Commander, Carbon Z Cessna 150 and Apprentice. It was an incredible experience and our team looks forward to flying with the Horizon Hobby team again in the future!
FT Simple Cub
The FT Simple Cub is the newest creation from Josh Bixler. Originally it was coined the "Tubby Cubby," but the team decided to change it to the FT Simple Cub to express the vision behind the build: for it to not only be simple to build, but also simple to fly. It is a plane that takes approximately an hour to build because of only having 11 pieces of foam. When we shared this build with the Flite Test Forum, we have been hearing that this may possibly be one of the most popular and best selling designs to date! What an exciting prospect! Stay tuned for more information and the build video in the near future. In the meantime, check out our vlog on its maiden flight.
