- Build Plan (PDF, AI, etc.)
Some time ago I came across a wonderfully cute, classic-looking balsa design called the Phat Phil by a designer named Hilmar Lange. (https://www.lange-flugzeit.de/) I've had the plans saved on my computer for years, but never got around to building it. When I crashed my last UMX plane it freed up a set of electronics and inspired a thought. I could down-size the Phat Phil to 80%, build it from XPS foam, and throw in the electronics for a cute, simple flyer that weighs less than half the 250g registration limit. The reception the resulting plane recieved on Facebook was enthusiastic to say the least and as always the chorus of "Plans" was heard.
With a collective call for plans and the blessing of the original designer, I off you my version; the "Li'l Phil."
