Just to make people aware, that buildyourowndrone in Hampshire are likely to stock the Flite Test kits in the near future. That’s how I got my first one (FT Bushwacker), as I got them to build it for me due to lacking time and space requirements at home. They did a great job at a very reasonable price so it's worth the recognition, here is the link to my post for it; https://www.modelflying.co.uk/forums/postings.asp?th=139542   Edited By RC Flyer30 on 19/12/2018 16:21:24

Hi everyone, I'm new here and fairly new to flying fixed wing, have flown multi-rotor for a couple of years. So figured it would be worth signing up to a UK based forum for help and guidance, as I do not currently belong to a club of any sort I just have my BMFA insurance. A friend has been teaching me to fly this year and now solo, ready for my first plane. I was looking around the forum and came across this thread so thought I'd share my experience with an FT design. I've been using the guys over at buildyourowndrone in Hampshire for all my multi-rotor needs and they've been extremely supportive and friendly. I’ve really enjoyed multi-rotors but have always wanted to give fixed wing a go. After watching some Youtube I discovered Flite Test and decided that I wanted an FT Bushwacker! I asked them whether they would be interested in building one for me due to my lack of time and space at home. They agreed and had it built inside a week only charged me £60 + materials to put it all together which I thought was very reasonable considering it was a scratch build. The model was also painted but done as a freebie experiment with the foam. Since building mine they are now looking to help further promote Flite Test by stocking their kits and offering a build service for them, awesome! I’m very happy with the results, I’ve flown the Bushwacker a lot and I love it. So much fun with the flaps and large wheels which means I can fly it at my local field which is a little rough. I’d recommend this as a suitable second model unless like me you’ve had some prior training. Overall this provides a lot of cheap fun, and a great all-rounder and so capable in the right hands, but can also be very sedate. I’m now hooked on the FT designs and I’m already lining up another to have built in the new year. I think everyone should experience an FT model, but if you’re like me and don’t have the time, space or knowledge speak to Mike or Martin they will give you all the time and help you’ll need.
