biplane

Last update 2024-09-02: Started the thread, Plans and instructions coming later Rhaps Ultimate Biplane 780mm v1.0 Fun 3D/Sport plane. Very convenient size. Not a beginner plane or build, maybe an intermediate one. Gyro is strongly recommended as this has no self righting features. However...

FT Baby Blender Designed By: Josh Bixler Plans By: Dan Sponholz Description: The Baby Blender Swappable is an excellent transition into four channel flying and more advanced building techniques. With gentle stall characteristics and a wide speed envelope, the Baby Blender will enable you...

This is now my fourth iteration of plans for a Curtiss Jenny. Built from 4 sheets of DTFB, plans have been modified from the originals for easier and more durable construction. It's built from 4 sheets of DTFB, true to scale in appearance and flight characteristics, and can be built without the...

3 sheets foamboard 7 sheets 60# paper or something similar wood for spar ~11in" long or more skewers and various little wooden stirring sticks 1/16 and 3/32 wire for gear Build This is my first design. I've have not yet built a master series, so I'm coming at this with a little different...

I acquired a partially built Parakeet biplane a while back, and I've been planning to finish that model as a converted electric for years. I only recently however found hidden in my stash of miscellaneous parts a motor that might have the juice to power it. I had an Eflite Power 15 motor lying...

It all started when I built the skis for the FT Mini Speedster... that was fun but I have a small backyard and I wanted it slower without compromising the original design. So, build another wind. Cut four slots in the bottom wing and add a little reinforcement and taa-daa the Mini Speedster...

This plane is designed to fly off the power pack A or F or any 1/2a equivalent power system. It is three channel, and has a wingspan of 24 inches. Landing gear may be added in a future version. *be prepared to encounter adverse yaw*

Hi all, I wanted to share my latest VTOL creation: a quadrotor biplane. This type of vehicle configuration offers unique advantages: a small footprint, vertical flight capabilities, high payload capacity, and long endurance forward flight. Stability in hover is achieved similarly to a...

The Remington Burnelli 2- "Flying Camper" Bring the piece of history to life and watch it float through the air. HISTORY In the 1920's this early airliner design was used as a mobile car showroom! Now you can build one of your own. Like all biplanes of the post WWI era, this balance is short...

Raleigh, NC area E-flite Viking Model 12 280 BNF RC Airplane https://www.horizonhobby.com/viking-model-12-280-bnf-efl6650 A few scrapes and minor repairs otherwise good condition - Extra set of wings, motor, struts - Nose Cone - Wooden Built Storage and Transfer Case - Batteries

I chose the Mini Scout to make a biplane from because it is super simple to build. The Mini Scout Biplane will fly as a 3ch or 4ch, but it's more rewarding as a 4ch. It can fly slow, or it can fly fast. It will even float in the wind. It can do loops and rolls and otherwise get crazy if you...

(GO TO PAGE 11 FOR PLANS AND BUILD VIDEO) So I have always been around the real Stearman because my grandfather restores and flies them. I decided to make the Stearman because I had a balsa wood kit lying around for a rubber band powered model. I took the plans to Staples and got them scaled...

Time for another swap meet rescue build! :D This time it's the classic Dreamer Biplane designed by Jon Foster with plans published in the June 1972 Flying Models Magazine. The specs are 39.5" wingspan, designed for .40 sized glow fuel motor, and 4.5 pounds. The design was later kitted by Gee...

Description The goal of the project was to make use of a couple of old ~450W+ motors (Dualsky XM3548CA-5 850kV and Turnigy C3548 900kV) and four 4s 2300mAh LiFe battery packs that have been lying around idle for several years now. Since this stuff is pretty heavy, and since I like biplanes, it...

So this build started by me looking at my old, beat up, mini speedster and wondering if I could make a sub 250 gram (so I could fly it at the end of my street) slow flying biplane. I started by deconstructing the speedster to take measurements. The fuse id more or less the same to the speedster...

I haven't built a Guillows kit in over 45 years. The last Guillows kit I built as a boy was this SE5a. It was rubber powered and covered with the green tissue that came in the kit. I remember it wasn't a great flier. The rubber and prop didn't have enough thrust for it to climb well. The landing...

Hey all! It's been a while since I've done anything but I wanted to share my younger brother's custom designed and built foamboard twin biplane with you guys. He drew it, redrew it as a dxf, cnc'd it, built it, flew it, and here it is. :) Specs: 2x Red-bottom motors & 25a escs 5x 9g servos...

Hey gang! So I do my best (read: weirdest) thinking between 10pm and 1am and for some reason I just thought, "What if you took two flying wings and mounted them on top of one another? What if the wings were under cambered instead of just flat bottomed? The space between the wings would be able...

Hey! This is my first build that is purely scratch, and my design. It is loosely based on the Ultimate Biplane, should turn out nice. I have built one already, did not fly very well (don't use Elmer's FB), made some changes and hope they work! Last night I drew new plans, and cut them out...
