Here are a few pics of my latest foam board project(s). A motorized Versa and a scratch built high wing. I use internal 3D printed ribs to smooth out the airfoils in my foam board wings. And I developed a 3D printed servo mount specifically for foam board installations. The servo...
EZ Intruder 15
Design by: Dan Sponholz
The EZ Intruder design is inspired by the Air Hogs Intruder circa 2001. The Intruder was developed by Spin Master Toys, and sold under the Air Hogs and E Chargers brands back in 2001. Later in 2003 it was rebranded as the Resistor with 2 new liveries...
Hi guys if anyone is living in India or somewhere else and trying to make an RC plane with Kraft foam board with the help of the YouTube channel kendin yap can you tell me if there is a way to make Kraft foam board? per my idea, I have thought to buy depron sheets and kraft paper separately and...
Technically not my first, but the first I completed and posted publicly. I worked on this over the summer and got some good flights and iterations out of it.
Started with 56" wings, then cut down to 42". The plans have lines indicating both configurations, one was great for gliding and longer...
Running out of blue FFF, decided to see what you can adapt to make a flyable plane. The producer of the black foamboard is R L Adams in Michigan. 3 planes I am going to do are F-117, 3D acrobatic, and my version of the Sponz "Wonder".
Chose black(inside is white) since I was designing a...
My computer died many months ago. I have no way to print plans or play War Thunder and my life has been incomplete Haha. Anyways, could someone please help me figure how to build a 2 sheet, high wing, 3-4 channel, 36"-48" span, single or twin engine plane I can gain flying experience with...
I was wondering what would be the best foam for rc builds. I built a few planes with hobby lobby white foam, 3/16". It works greats for planes with minimal bending in forming of curves like the scout, but for something like the Trainer or Cub, what would be a good cheap foam to use. I heard that...

I hope to get my 3D Printed J3 Cub flying this weekend and try to keep it above ground at all times.
For reading pleasure in the mean time I've been learning about the FT way of doing things on the forum. I found the plans section. Who knew? :LOL: I'm just blown away with what they provide...
I'm the project manager for my school's Design Build Fly team this year. In the past few years, we either bit off more than we could chew or just had other issues getting a plane in the air, so this year I aimed to have a simple flying prototype by the end of week 3. We started last Friday and...
I ran across a video of the Swoose Goose a few months ago and thought “Hey, that would make a cool FT build.” Then I thought “You haven’t built an FT plane in years, and you have never made plans for one.” I was learning to design parts in onshape so I told myself “Take a hike, we’re doing this...

Design by: Justin Boetsma
Plans by: Dan Sponholz
This plane came from two places. One was to find a happy middle ground between the swappable Bloody Baron and the built-like-a-tank SideWinder. The power pod was...
