iNav Auto Launch with the FT Explorer

Auto launch with the FT Explorer.

This is my second build of the Explorer and considering how well building the Goblin with laminating went, I decided to scrap the current Explorer and build a new one and laminate it as well.

I weighed the original and the new laminated build and the difference was 12 grams. Considering I put in a wood spar and winglets, 12g extra was well worth it.

The laminate also makes the build much stronger and it will weather well also. The painted foamboard gets damaged over time, paint comes off, the edges get rough.

I am expecting the laminated planes to last way longer and stand up better to those bad landings that happen.
