    EZ Pack Flying Wing and Mini-Cat

    Had fun testing out the flying wing with an aft CG to see how slow it can go in low winds. As I get more comfortable with it, was able to bring the height down and have some fun. The second video I am starting to explore what the Mini Cat can do and its style of flying. Again, have a...

    DSB-LK - meaning Long Range Strategic Bomber – Flying Wing.

    Russian design idea by eccentric the Moskaliov. A Soviet Union aircraft planned in the 1950s that could fly at Mach 4, almost becoming the first hypersonic manned jet, sadly (?) didn’t even get off the drawing board. Moskaliov explored combining ramjets and, after burning six turbojet engines...

    EZ Pack of 4 Designed Planes---Delta, Flying Wing, BobCat(2 booms) and a Bipe

    After the new motors(V2) appeared, my interest peaked in trying to design and develop a 4 pack of planes to use with the EZ Pack V2. My Goals: 1) To have different models based on their shape. 2) Be able to copy the plans and build under 2hrs using Readi-board foam. 3) Cover range from...

    Using A EZ Pack to attempt to get my "Flying Wing" airborne

    After watching the video of the Squirrel, got to thinking about Could my designed "Flying Wing" work with the EZ system so it could be used in a dome or outside? Goal: Having the EZ power pack V1 and Adams Readi-board, can I design my Flying Wing using the stabilizer and achieve slow flight...

    Metamorphis of my tailless "Flying Wings"

    Since the weather is getting colder and lots of wind, decided to "go to my flying wings collection I designed". Using my copyrighted stabilizer, I now have removed the need for fixed rudder or any vertical surface for the flying wing. No twist of wing is needed and now allows me to use either...

    3D Printed Wing - "L3D Wing"

    Sharing my first 3D printed design after hundreds of hours figuring out Fusion360. This is geared to LW-PLA and an F-Pack motor. Printed predominately in vase mode with very few retractions to ensure clean printing. My goal was a simple toss and go wing, easy to hand launch and fun to fly...

    FDM Bandito - DTFB Conversion of the Viejo

    My good buddy @Zetoyoc keeps taunting me with this small sub 40" flying wing platform, the Viejo. It is a Balsa Kit from somewhere in Europe: I am not sure I agree with the power plant chosen by the Manuf., but I do agree with the look. It is sharp. and looks like a blast to fly. After the...

    FTFC21 - Seaplane Design & Build by FoamyDM, Junker J-1000

    I am also going to design and build the J-1000. I'm not sure the scale Yet. right Now I'm thinking 10m - 1ft or ~1:30 scale These impossibly large plane concepts are some of the most inspiring works. Declaration / Purpose: I am intrigued by the flying elevator, and the long curved up hulls...

    Plane Dominator KFm3 Flying Wing 1.0

    This is the Dominator, a simple build aimed to be a direct competitor to the FT Arrow, but easier to build. The KFm wing is very easy to assemble and the airframe is extremely tough, meaning it's a good plane for a beginner, or just a good first wing. It will fly on the A/F pack or equivalent...

    Question on a Novel Concept

    I have always wanted effective yaw for flying wing type design, but all of the "traditional" ways of handling this axis have major drawbacks. Drag Rudders are complicated, Differential Thrust is (IMO) crude and inelegant, Rudders don't have an effective moment. I began looking at flying wing...

    Help! New project. DLG flying wing

    Hello, guys. I've been looking for a model for flying in the wind for a while. Many have advised me to fly wings like the FT versa wing. But I'm really excited about the idea of building a DLG. I was really worried about the fact that I couldn't find carbon rods here to build the fuselage, so I...

    Prandtl Flying Wing

    I learned recently from @FoamyDM about a NASA test project called PRANDTL-D. He built his own version of the prototype and posted plans here: https://forum.flitetest.com/index.php?threads/prandtl-d-foam-board-wing-by-foamydm.58170/ This morning I began building my own wing from @FoamyDM 's...

    Triplane Flying Wing (Super Secret Skunk Works Project)

    If I'm being totally honest I don't know why I built what I did, but I can certainly say why I've never seen it done before. That's because there is literally no practical reason whatsoever to build this. The best reason I can give for why I built it is that nobody told me not to, and if...

    Help! Help Please

    Can anyone help me with a weird rx motor issue? It's for a flying wing, and i cant get the motor to engage with throttle input from my qx7, but, it will engage in an output test in iNAV. All the control surfaces work with input from the controller. it has me stumped. I am using a omnibus F4 V5...

    Plane FoamyDM - Burgess-Dunne Flying Wing 1.0

    YOU NEED TO BUILD THIS FLYING WING: This project is a Great Flyer, Quick Build and only 2 sheet! This Project was inspired by the '20 Flite Test Forum Challenge (FTFC20). Since I have seen the model on Fidder's green, I thought the Burgess-Dunne Flying wing from 1914 is a perfect candidate for...
