LET THE BETA BEGIN

Picture
First and foremost, welcome to your first nnBeta! This is an exciting time to be in the hobby and I couldn't be happier to have willing individuals like yourself to help me test my designs. So thank you for your interest and support.

Full disclosure
Beta plans are untested and unproven. While I have done first round testing on my own, I make no promises for the quality, performance, or build process for beta plans. Participate at your own risk.

Expectations
If you work on a nnBeta you can expect from me:
  • Your feedback to be heard and taken into consideration
  • Access to a shared folder with beta plans 
  • Build issues that may require you to rebuild, alter, or otherwise start over on some or all the build
  • Multiple plan revisions, sometimes daily, that may redesign how a piece works and require you to start over
  • Published change log that tracks all plan changes and additions
  • Unfinished plans that may not "just work" 

What I request from you
  • Build testing. Once built you're welcome to flight test to your heart’s desire, but the focus will be on the build first.
  • Test the plans for what they are, not improvising along the way. You're welcome to make whatever changes you want to final plans but the beta is to test the plans as they are.
  • Share your feedback, in detail, with pictures if possible. Call out any bugs found or design techniques that could be improved. This includes anything that prevents you from 'just building' from the plans.
  • Have fun and don’t feel pressured to build anything on a schedule. There are no ‘deadlines’ any feedback you provide is helpful and appreciated.

Feedback
All feedback should be posted in the models corresponding thread/post, or you can send me an email: [email protected]
