A simple building square with 2 wide faces so you don't dent the foam board. I've included the Fusion 360 file. It's parametric so to change size just change user parameter "L" to the size you want. The stl file is for a 4" square. "The table is your friend!"

Trying my hand at building a big slow foam board plane. 5ft wingspan and about 3ft long w/ a weird hybrid split v tail section that I made up. I've got the majority of the air frame built and I'm waiting on the motor and ESC to show up. I got to the part of construction where I needed to worry...

Hello there! Today I bought a secondhand plane (a Baby Blender with longer wings) because of the price and the electronics. I'm thinking in designing my own RC Plane. It's also a biplane (Polikarpov I-15) and it will have aproximately the same size, so I guess it the motor will handle the...

I am building the FT Bushwacker as my first plane. I noticed that power packs C and B were gone from the store (not just out of stock, they aren't there anymore) and I am looking to round up the parts from other websites and possibly save some money, but still get roughly the equivalent to the...

I have my FT Tony Trainer and have watched the build video a dozen times. I have to wait to order my Power Pack A. Should I wait to build (I don't have servos) or should I go ahead and build and install servos later?

Hey I am building my first Fpv Quadcopter en I was wondering if this parts will work together and/or if I am better of with other parts? Would love it if anybody would help me out :)

Hi guys, How about a show including applying balsa sheeting. I always shy away from building balsa wings that require balsa sheeting to make the very strong 'D' tube or other things like fuselages. Please put in a bit on how to glue balsa sheet on to both the top and bottom of a wing. I...

Hello all, big fan of the show and all your content. However, I have a suggestion for show content that I'd like you to consider. I completely understand the focus on foam board and BBQ skewer construction methods as it allows new hobbyist to get into the air cheaply and quickly, however for...
