FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
Wassup dudes, I'm here to share my building and flying experience of the new
Fancy Foam BLENDER! I have to say, I've watched Andrew rip the crap out of this little bipe for a couple of years now, and I've always wanted one of my own. Well Mike Hammel at Fancy Foam did an awesome job bringing this foamy to the market! So before I begin, i want to thank Andrew Jesky for a KILLER design, And Mike Hammel for making it possible to own the blender for myself  this is definately a very complete kit! all of the hardware is included in the box, and more than enough carbon rods to build the kit. All of the parts lock together easily, and the manual is very informative to keep the build simple and straight forward. here is all of the parts layed out, ready for assembly... |

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
This plane is so easy to build! from box to framed up in a little over an hour.
I wasnt able to take many pictures of the actual build, but here are just a few shots of the fuse bracing and after the wings were glued on |

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
I dont believe Mike is offering the Blender already milled, but dont quote me on that... I for one will be building another one of these that will be milled and lightened no later than next week.
Here are a few more pictures of the build... |

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
Please give a little more information as to equipment and RTF weight.
When you get it flying let us know how it goes and where you got the CG to suit you etc. |

You'll love it!
Neil, the Blenders are not currently available milled. Mike mentioned that if there is enough demand for it a production milled version is possible in the future, but not yet. Here's a picture of mine, not that it looks any different. My setup: Hacker A10-7L (just because I want stupid power for freestyle) Hacker X-5 ESC Spektrum AR6100 JR S185's on tail Futaba 3114 on ailerons Dualsky 2S 300mAh 25/50c LiPo Custom GWS 8x4N v1 prop RJ

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
Finished mine and with battery I am at 5.3oz RTF. For some reason it feels heavy to me but maybe because there is a bit of flex in the landing gear. I will be fly'n her on Wednesday, I will post my results!!!
Cheers!!!!  John |

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
I think it would just be easier to sign my pay checks right over to Fancy Foam.

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
sweet John! I like the paint on yours. Did you get an unpainted version or is
it built from scratch? RJ, awesome dude! looks good! the equipment that i used is as follows: e-flite 250 outrunner phoenix 10 esc lightened(2g) spektrum AR6100 RX JR S185 servos on all surfaces thunderpower 480mah 2S lipos weight without battery: 4 1/2 oz, weight with battery: 5 1/4 oz I'm starting the CG at the recommended point, wich is 2in from the leading edge of the wing. I'll also be flying wednesday in the Gym, and i will have pics and a video! Here are a few pictures of the finished product.... |

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
That plane is sweet Jared. I'm not sure if the twisty ties are the best idea on the prop because if you crash your most likely going to break it that way but its a creative idea and i like it, not like those stupid rubberbands stop it from breaking the prop anyways

Re: FancyFoam BLENDER by Animal Jesky build thread
hehe yeah the zip ties do work, but your right...if i hit the ground the motor is probably going to rip from the firewall  Its all good though, i consider my foamiesas "disposable items"  Jamie, Good luck at the ETOC! hope you place well! I wish i could make it this year, but time and funds just wont allow. When you start building your blenders for the etoc, try milling a couple...I'm curious how much weight we can save! |
