    F-111 Aardvark!

    The F-111 is my favorite jet. Its a pretty complex shape that I don't think I could design but the FT team definitely could do it justice.

    Plane F-18 (Julius Perdana) Grouped Parts Plans v1

    This is a modified version of the Julius Perdana F-18 plans. The original parts are the same, but some of them are grouped together to create a one-piece fold-style part. Fits on 20x30 FB sheets. Included the original Julius Perdana pdf for reference. (33x47) Included the JP build images in the...

    EDF in snow?

    I was wondering if landing in the powder snow can damage my EDF? And what about temp? I would fly it in -7 degrees Celsius, is that too cold? Because the snow will go through the EDF on landing. Thanks!

    Automating Leading Edge Flaps to reduce takeoff and landing distances

    With larger prop and EDF models, as they increase in size, usually requires a runway. One way to reduce distances is to use a Thrust Vectoring nozzle. Another method is to use leading edge flaps(LEF) that are automated. Here is an example(watch the left tip, so every time pitch is used, the...

    Help! Fastest Airframe for 6 inch prop?!

    I've got multiple different pitch options, a spinner, lots of different motors and esc's, and want to be able to fit a 1500mah 4s lipo. Pusher or tractor is fine. Looking for fastest speed possible with foamboard. Thank You!

    What jet would we want FT to make?

    What jet would you like to see FT do? I am just curious as to what we would as a majority want. maybe FT will consider this

    Concept for a 1 sheet Flying EDF Jet to explore(like a trainer)

    Exploring EDF's are fun. Simple if you crash and burn. Your up and running again in a short time. Even has landing gear so you can practice approaches. If you have 50 to 70 size EDF, scale it. Best of all, 1 sheet of foam!!! Requirements:: Know how to fly, built a number of prop planes...

    Learning how to fly and land using a EDF, no large area needed

    My motto is "To design and build things that don't exist." Lot's of pilots want to fly EDF jets but they don't have the acreage and runway necessary to takeoff and land that type of plane. Others say that you need certain skill's to handle it. My answer to that is with a certain planform...

    F-106 3D Printed Jet

    Most of my 3D printed planes so far have either been very experimental (tailless planes, early modular designs), highly loaded (F-104, Gee Bee, MiG 15), or designed to be gentle flying and carry a lot of load (modular trainer/base plane). But now I want to build something that is...

    Part LED Afterburner Adapter for FT 70mm EDFs 1

    This adapter is supposed to be used with this build thread in rcgroups: https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?3570975-Afterburner-Step-by-Step-Instructions But has been modified for use with the FT 70mm EDFs

    3D Printed MiG 15 64mm EDF Jet (Modular Plane)

    I haven't had too much time for building lately, so I've been doing a lot of designing instead. One the goals of my modular plane system was to be able to swap out the power systems on the jets for either a 64mm unit or a 70mm unit, but both the F-104 and modular jet trainer were too big and...

    EDF Thrust Vectoring for a STOL fighter

    Since thrust vectoring(TV) has been re-introduced by Flite Test, I did this project together in it's past hayday. 12 years ago, the rage was TV nozzles and if you view it from a trig approach, you can always have a forward vector(called thrust) and a vertical component(called lift) and if...

    Help! Single EDF plane?

    Hiya guys. I recently got a 3d printer (Bambu A1 mini which is the very best printer you can buy) and put it to good use by printing an adapter to convert my brushless motor to an edf. Does anyone have plans for a Single edf foamboard plane? Anything would be greatly appreciated. I believe it's...

    Brainstorming for a crazy first build, need info and ideas

    I'll preface this by saying I know very little about aircraft design or RC design. After I learn to fly EDF jets, I want to start a ridiculous custom-designed twin-EDF build. It'll probably be a few years down the road, so I'll have plenty of time to save money for it, but I still want to avoid...

    New to the hobby, looking to get into building!

    Hi! I'm Brie. I'm new to the hobby, I built a foam FliteTest kit years ago when I was younger and haven't been involved since then. I plan to get an EDF trainer to learn to fly while I learn about plane design and work on a custom EDF jet.

    OG A-10 with twin 70mm EDF (3d Print Mount)

    Another weekend, another build. This time we wanted an A-10, but not a prop-driven version. There are a few other EDF mounting solutions that I found, but I didn't like the scale and some were overly complex. I designed my own mount on Fusion 360, printed it on my Bambu P1S out of PETG, and...

    Plane Modular F-104 70mm EDF Jet 1

    This is the release of my modular F-104. It is designed to be 3D printed in PLA or ABS (optional for some parts). It is a 6-channel design and flies on a 4s 4000 mAh battery up to 80 mph. This release contains full STLs, G-code, and an instruction manual detailing assembly. The supplied G-code...

    Missing F-35 Master Series Plans?

    Just wondering if anyone has the f 35 master series plans? Can anyone provide a link or post the plans online? The f 35 master series I'm talking about is in this link. https://www.flitetest.com/articles/our-f35-design. The YouTube video with the F-35 plans no longer exists. Considering this was...

    Good intermediate ft build to learn about curve builds

    Just as the title says, what is a good intermediate build level ft plane that will teach me about curved plane making?
