challenge

As the title states this is an amphibious/sea plane challenge, a good reason to give amphibious planes a try! This is a challenge but it’s also a group build, so no pressure this is just for fun! Prize Note that the winner will be voted 1st Place — Bragging rights Challenge Runs From: May 1st...

What’s up guys! I’m hosting the High-Speed Foamboard Challenge again this year, and just like last year — it’s all about SPEED! Last year we had some seriously fast builds, but no one broke the foamboard record even though we got very close at 162mph (Achieved by @Mr Man) so the question is...

How’s it goin’ everyone! Me, @Houndpup Rc, and @Patriot Rc are hosting a Monster build challenge!, and as you can guess by the title — it’s all about BIG PLANES😂 Here’s what you need to enter: A big airplane. Minimum wingspan 62” Doesn’t matter if it’s a jet, warbird, civilian — as long as...

What’s up guys! I’m hosting a High Speed Challenge, and as you can guess by the title — it’s all about SPEEEED! Here’s what you need to enter: A fast airplane. Doesn’t matter if it’s a jet, warbird, pylon racer — as long as it’s fast, it counts. Some way to track your speed. You can use an RID...

Here is my first design, I decided on the Komet due to it being a really cool flying wing design from wwii.

Hi everyone, my entry into this contest will be the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil. I've never done an aircraft in the pusher/puller configuration before and I do tend to prefer Luftwaffe paint schemes. It will have a length of 45" and a winspan of approximately 55" I'm not planning to do retractable...

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I'm hoping to source some input and suggestions on my ideas for an upcoming indoor flying challenge in my uni class. The challenge is to build a foamie that can fly within the constraints of an indoor basketball court, with a takeoff then a...

Im going to enter this russian flying boat. I choose it because I once flew it in a simulator and immedeately fell in love with it. Its quite the intresting design, because its a low wing, something you usually dont see on flying boats. Its also general aviation, twin engine and amphibic, all...

I was just thinking about how FT did a recycling plane challenge. Would anyone want to take part in one? I'll post the rules once I have at least 10 people to participate.

This should be an interesting build off to see what is possible with foam board. Personally, I find 3d and XA to be very fun, but extremely expensive. Even a ~50" airframe can run you up to 200$- not including electronics. Wouldn't it be great if we could build our own airframes for less than...

Here's the link to the post made on live.warthunder.com. https://live.warthunder.com/post/891786/en/ That should speak for itself. In case the post gets lost, here's the image.

Hello! I have a team at school that competes in an aero design competition every year. This year our aircraft had some trouble as once it was off the ground it yawed hard and crashed. I would love any feedback as to why the plane reacted as it did. If you have any questions please let me know...

Here's the deal: I witnessed a black 'fridge box (I believe!) fly sideways past my 20th story window, then over Chicago's crowded North Avenue Beach bar, Castaways, in 2014 (before disappearing over Lake Michigan). How hard would this have been to fake with a drone? Back up your opinion by...

My entry into this challenge will be a Spad XIII. The initial plans call for a 30in wingspan, and that's what I am going to be doing initially. However I do plan on scaling it up to near a 40in wingspan in line with Ben's PT-17. I usually design a lot of EDFs, so it will be fun to do something...
