This one is my most favorite RC plane I've ever build. The first one was 7 years ago. I already build this 5 times and this is the last version, now complete with plans and build instructions. All wings and strut are all detachable, no need for glue to mount the wings and struts, just screws. I also made a papercraft / paper model figure for the 2 pilots that also shared on the link below along with the RC plans. This RC biplane is capable of STOL, Short Take Off and Landing. With big 80mm foam wheel, it can take off and land on most rough field on grass or dirt making it fun to watch it take off and landing seamlessly. I recommend you to build this RC plane, it's worth to try and very fun to fly it.

Bombardier CL-415MP RC plane is finally finished, it's weight about 2200 grams or 4.8 pounds, but it can take off smoothly without using flaps. Also the landing can be done smoothly, with some adjustment. The front landing gear needs to be glued or bolt up to the fuselage. It's often came out of its slot and causing a bad landing. The aileron also needs bigger area to give sufficient control, I already revise the aileron size. The plane is a good flyer if you familiar with rudder control on turning. The hardest build on part 4 is building the wing tip floats, you need to watch the build video tutorial on youtube as well as build instructions with images in Paper Replika website. You can use differential thrust control or common control to fly the plane. The next build will be PT-17 Stearman.

This episode is quite shorter than usual done, because it's coincide with family gathering on Christmas holiday this year. But I still try to update the build progress for this week. In this part 3, we will build the basic shape of the main wing, with 180 cm wingspan dan 22 cm chord. The main wing can be dismantled into 3 pieces for easier transport. The most outer wings that will host the ailerons and pontoon are detachable. The main wing also detachable from its fuselage as well.

In this episode we will build our project in series, which is Bombardier CL-415 with Maritim Malaysia color scheme. I designed this model plane to be able to take and land on water and on the ground as well. Equipped with detach-able landing gears for cheap and easy building but still maintain the 2 functions. WIth no landing gear on board it will make the plane lighter and I hope it can take off easily from water. In this part 1 we will build the fuselage, fin and landing gears. Plans and decal can be downloaded on the link below. In this video I mentioned about pilot figure tutorial, but unfortunately I forgot to add it while on editing so it will be covered on the next episode.
