This is a 3D reference model of the Powerfun 64mm Electric Ducted Fan (EDF), created as a visual and sizing aid for use in CAD and RC aircraft design work. It is intended to help with layout planning, fitment checks, and general scaling when designing around a 64mm EDF unit. The model includes...

It's been a while, and I've started a new project a few days ago to hopefully bring to Flite Fest this summer. Designing an airliner is something I've been trying to do for years, but lack of resources and, more importantly, underdeveloped cad skills have hindered its progress. Expected...

This is my thread for the 2026 speed challenge. I'll likely be building two planes for it, the Super Duper Sabre design I've been working on optimizing in the background for some time and an as yet nameless design which is intended to run a 90mm fan on 8s, or maybe even 12s. First is the Super...

80mm foamboard Radjet

Forward: For a week I've been attempting to research whether there were physics based rules one could use to size the inlet and exhaust of EDF power systems. I've searched through a variety of theorems, principles and concepts and after many brain straining nights I think I've finally crafted a...

I discovered this edf jet on YouTube when searching for F-20 Tigersharks that people had made. The channel is The Nerdoligist, I am posting the plans here with his permission - "All my IP is free as a way to give back". He generously added optional 3D print files for The canopy - both front and...

I've somehow been working on my own interpretation of an EDF RC plane for five years now. The development of my designs have coincided with my growth in understanding Aerodynamic theory. Lets go through memory lane. The Last Bullfighter: Eight times I've attempted to create a mixed...

This is my 50mm EDF Jet trainer designed as a cheap and fairly easy to build alternative to store-bought jets. It is designed to be printed in either normal PLA or ABS and weighs in at 1100g ready to fly. It requires a 4s power system and can fly off a 1550 mAh to 2200 mAh pack. Top speed is 75...

As I was designing my 50mm EDF jet trainer, @FlyerInStyle pointed out that it resembled the Saab 105 quite a bit. The Saab is an amazing looking plane that also seems like it should translate very well to RC and also one that I had never even heard of much less seen modeled as an RC plane before...

My first attempt at a 50mm jet trainer was not very successful and barely flew. However, my reasons for it (wanting a cheap easy to replicate jet that flies well as factory options get more expensive) are still there, so I'm designing a new version that should hopefully be much better. It's...

Here are some other projects I am working on. See below for the Lightburn screen shots. Black Hawk V1 about 60% This is cut out and ready for test assembly. It has a one-piece 38" wing, will use a mini swappable power pod. Second test build. Black Hawk V1 build An FT build style "Fugly" jet...

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.

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...

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!

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...

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

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...

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...
