Flite Test Old Fogey
In this video I will cover the Flite Test Old Fogey. The Flite Test Old Fogey is a foam board kit that you assemble with a hot glue gun. The foam board parts are laser cut and fit together very well. The kit can be completed in two hours. It is your option whether or not you wish to paint it, I used normal hobby acrylic paints.
Flite Test includes a power pack option with their kits that includes servos, an electronic speed controller, props and various connecting wires. This is a handy way to get the electric components for your Old Fogey. You'll just need to supply a receiver and the lipo batteries.
The Old Fogey flies very well. Flite Test has an build video (link below) that will take you step by step in building your Old Fogey. I used a two cell lipo on mine and the plane had plenty of power. The Old Fogey is a perfect kit for a beginner to RC to build and fly.
