I saw some of the rederings for the NGAD(next generation air dominance) program. I thought, that a plane like that could do some damage in FF combat. So I decided to see what the FT community could come up with. This is not a contest because there is no winner. The goal of these planes is to...

Flite Fest 2023 is here, and it is going to be a fun event! I have heard from “Somebody” that there could/would be the worlds longest RC airplane, with multiple comparatively short wings, here at Flite Fest! (Most of it will probably be built here at FF) Also their will be a huge cub and...

As some of you might know for the last year I have been applying to both the United States Naval Academy and Air Force Academy. This has been a slow moving process, but after eight months of waiting I have finally made a decision. Last month I received news that I was accepted into the Air Force...

(GO TO PAGE 11 FOR PLANS AND BUILD VIDEO) So I have always been around the real Stearman because my grandfather restores and flies them. I decided to make the Stearman because I had a balsa wood kit lying around for a rubber band powered model. I took the plans to Staples and got them scaled...

It's been a while. I'll admit, I haven't flown fixed wing since last Flite Fest and certainly haven't built anything. But here we go, now that school is over BOB v4 is in progress. Let's jump right in. First things first, here are my thoughts on last year's build: Pros: Biggest I'd gone yet...

Hello FliteTest community! I’m doing a father/son project with my dad. We are building a giant 10ft wingspan twin engine aircraft. I came up with the design in a couple of hours and built a 5ft wingspan single engine version as well as a 2.5 foot version as a twin. We decided to go twin for...

Hello! I would like to know if I have to register on FliteFest.com and get a two day pass. Unfortunately, we won't be their for two days, only one. Will there be one day passes at the gate? Thanks!
