    NO SERVOS WERE HURT IN THRUST VECTORING EXPERIMENT

    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...

    FTFC19 Messerschmitt P.1110 "Ente" designed by Zephyr1

    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...

    MiG-21 70mm EDF

    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...

    70mm EDF, 2 NTM motors and 4 servos. Any ideas?

    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...

    2018-2019 Balsa Build Along - Turbinator-E by FoamyDM

    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...

    Recommendations for EDF and ESC for X29

    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!

    28" Foam Board EDF F86 (Plans Attached)

    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 scratch-built twin-EDF CH-F14

    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...

    100" 70mm EDF U-2 Dragon Lady

    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...

    F-86 Sabre - 50mm EDF

    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...

    This might be crazy enough to fly!

    Any ideas on this concept? So you know how jets usually have the engine in the back and some canards in the front, well what if you replaced the canards with the engines (I swear I'm not drunk!). Essentially the concept was for a twin edf aircraft to have its motors rotate on an axis for...
