I saw some of the rederings for the NGAD(next generation air dominance) program. I thought, that a plane like that could do some damage in FF combat. So I decided to see what the FT community could come up with. This is not a contest because there is no winner. The goal of these planes is to...

Bloody Rascal Based on the FT Bloody Baron and SideWinder designed by Dan Sponholz Design by: Justin Boetsma Plans by: Dan Sponholz This plane came from two places. One was to find a happy middle ground between the swappable Bloody Baron and the built-like-a-tank SideWinder. The power pod was...

Big Floaty Missiles were meant for combat. I have a 77% AIM-7 that is not complete, hopefully I'll finish it at the event this year.

Ugly Wonder Design By: Dan Sponholz Plans By: Dan Sponholz Desciption The Ugly Wonder is another variation of the FT Bloody Wonder. If you have read the build thread or the article for the Bloody Wonder MkIII, you probably already know that I'm a huge Bloody Wonder fan. I have built, flown...

Bloody Wonder MkIII Design By: Dan Sponholz Plans By: Dan Sponholz (based on original design by Josh Bixler) BACKGROUND The FT Bloody Wonder was the first plane I really learned to fly RC on. It was not my first plane, but it was the first plane I had success with. For that reason it will...

After watching the FT Battleship episode with the warbirds dropping bombs, I decided there wasn't enough good (somewhat realistic) bomb drops. I began designing these, and I'm pretty close to the final product. It prints in three pieces, snaps together, and uses one 9g servo. It also has built...

Hey FliteTesters: My two sons and I have attended the last two FliteFests and had a blast. This year we want to try our hands at the Combats. Are there any published rules? We have a couple ideas to make our planes more durable and longer flying and some super secret plans too. Any thoughts...

I thought I would share a design I updated and enlarged, I found this design by DZ1SFB on RcGroups.com 2010. I built the fuselage wider to house a 3s battery and all of the radio gear. I designed a built up 42" wing, added a combat hook in the rear. I am using an Emax Motor 1500kv. It has more...

So recently I have finished making a c-130ish style airplane for flite fest. I know by the time that Flite Fest Ohio comes around I will be willing to put it up in combat, the planes name is esCARGO for future reference. For now though I want to test a potential weapon that I could use that is...

The XF Bloody Brit is a 3 or 4 channel foam board model aircraft designed for streamer or full-contact combat. It also makes a great all around park/sport flyer. It can be powered with either the Flite Test B or C Power Packs.

My son and I both agreed that we had the most fun at FFE17 doing combat. There's just so much peer pressure to combat anything made of foam board! So our beloved Bloody Barons met their fate. They were our second ever FT scratch build. The Bloody Wonder being the first. We enjoyed flying them...

April 9, 2016 - Holden MA In eager anticipation of flying weather, a pack of FT fans gathered to Fun Fly and Combat. The best part was the great time and smiles. I took a few photos - Ken probably took 100’s of photos. I’m hoping he can share the best of the lot. Thanks to all the...

While I'm printing out my new quad design, I found myself with some time. SO, with that time I decided to watch a bunch of flite test videos haha and build a combat plane. Modeled it after a Peregrine Falcon. Illustrator scale plans soon! Check it out!

You should have an episode where everyone in the shop has to design and build their own plane that can fly a boxing glove. They can add any secret weapon of their choice on their plane that is no more dangerous than the plane itself (a.k.a. no explosives peter). They should have a time limit...

Hi everyone, I am almost done building my FT Versa Wing and the battery I am using is a Kinexis 3200mah 3s 30c, and when I cut out the hatch in the front for it and test fit the battery, I found out that the battery sticks out about 3/8th to 4/8th inches and my question is because this is a...

Hi everyone, I am going to scratch build a Bloody Wonder out of Dollar Tree Foamboard, and I am wondering if covering the entire plane in packing tape or extreme packing tape so I could do combat would add too much weight? I will be using Flite Test's Power Pack C with a 3S 2200mah lipo.

I know it says vids but most of the time there is only 1.7 seconds of awesome in my 13 minute vids, so I screen cap these moments. If anyone else wants to post there stills please do. They must be awesome or interesting and include an aircraft in shot. Like the following examples. Perhaps...
