So I made this back in April, because Chuppster suggested it. And he's done a great job of getting me to actually make some plans. I recently finished the plans for him, and decided I should share them with the rest of you. Maybe it'll hold Daniel over on the F-104 (I'll have those plans done...

Here is my next project: the Messerschmitt P.1092! This WWII fantasy aircraft was designed during the war as some sort of single engine Me 262. There are five different designs of this plane, I am going to make a combination of number 2 and 5. I really like the engine placement, it looks unique...

Very few fighter jets have managed to create the nearly cult following of the F-104 Starfighter. This manned missile was notoriously hard to fly and control. As such, creating an RC DTFB version was incredibly hard. And truly, I don't quite yet have a 100% working version. I've built 3 variants...

Failure Equals Success Seven years ago this project was a result of using an EDF with a VTOL concept which failed and an offshoot that gave me a new STOL project that is really different and also a first. I also submitted this project to FT and I hope it get published where I explain more in...

Scenario: On final for a landing and you are short and near stall--punch the throttle and hope you can go around. You overshot the field on landing and you need to abort. You decided to hover and want a vernier change in thrust to hold altitude. I own a DX9 and one nice feature is the THROTTLE...

Pushing the limit, I decided to test a dual 70mm's thrust vectoring nozzle plane to see how well thrust vectoring provides roll, pitch and yaw WITHOUT ANY MOVING SURFACEs on the plane. All controls are directed to the thrust vectoring nozzles. Concept: 2 nozzles up will produce pitch 1 nozzle...

The Thunderbolt is a heavy fighter used by the Imperial Navy in the game Warhammer 40k. Warhammer 40k is a miniature wargame that simulates terrestrial battles between futuristic armies. It is one of the most popular miniature wargames in the world. As in other miniature wargames, players use...

So, with winter break almost upon me, and with a lengthened design cut off date, I'm going to be adding an additional aircraft to this challenged. It classifies under the fantasy moniker as it was drawn up but never built in any capacity. One of the things I learned with last years challenge, is...

This was my second attempt at a MiG-21, the first used the same power set up but was smaller and had a higher wing loading, and it needed improvement. This second version is bigger and has a lower wing loading and flies much better. In the spirit of Ben's F-16, I left off ailerons and used only...

This is the print file for the custom EDF motor-mount-ducts that I designed for my 7ft B-52. It has been updated to work with 2" props, and has motor mount holes for the 1106 size motors.

Here are plans for my 7ft span B-52, powered by EIGHT 1106-4500Kv Gremlin motors. It's a pretty simple build, but for more info visit the forum thread!

So I'm in a slightly awkward situation. I have an X-29 with movable canards and modified with a landing gear. I'm unable to get it off the ground and I think I'll get one flight out of it then build something else, already lost my patience with that one... I also have two 1100kv NTM 28-26 motors...

For this 2018-2019 Build along, I plan to build The Ductinator-E by Ziroli I scored from a hobbyist who cannot continue building for health reasons, and a member was helping him unload them, bought for a steal. The EDF just came in. (my other kit is a Contender 40) I have NO Balsa Build...

Inspiration: 90mm EDF, 80A ESC and 3000 6S battery with no plane. Looked around, the diamond looks appealing. but I thought about what else... and decided to design the Romanian Air Force IAR-9 SOIM (hawk) Plane Specs: from the Wiki Page: General characteristics Crew: 2 Length: 11.01 m (36...

Is anyone flying the X-29 with an EDF? Do you have any recommendations for the EDF and ESC? I know they mention a 70mm EDF, but I have no idea what RPM, cell count, or Amp ESC. Any help would be appreciated!

Here's my take on a ~28" wingspan Foam Board EDF F86: I'm personally extremely proud of this design, especially the Mk2. To be honest, it's the fastest aircraft I've ever flown and it's probably beyond my skill level to fly. So I decided to share it with you guys, hopefully, some of you will...

The F-14 has some of my favorite curves of any jet, and I would love to scratch build one out of foam. So, I'm here to begin my efforts! I'm still in the process of drawing the plans and I am totally looking for any advice anyone has. This is also my first build without anyone's plans to hold...

SPECS Span: 30 in. Length: 43 in. Empty Weight: 27 oz. Power: 70mm EDF Battery: 3000mAh - 5000mAh 4-cell Lipo Flying Weight: ~45 oz. I highly recommend a 12-blade EDF, but this jet will fly on any similarly-powered fan regardless of the...

I worked on a MiG-21 for a while and that had a really high wing loading so I want to try something in the opposite direction. The U-2 is one of only five planes in service with the USAF for over 50 years and was designed back in the 1950s by Skunk Works. I'm really excited to attempt an...

The F-86 Sabre is among my favorite jets. How can you not love the greatest MiG killer in history? I decided to make the it scale to my F-15. It requires ONLY 2 sheets of foamboard! This means that if you lawndart it (I did the first one!) it's no trouble to rebuild! I used a FMS 12 blade 50mm...
