    Has anyone seen a tool that can design custom RC airplanes from requirements?

    2026 High-Speed Foamboard RC Challenge

    What’s up guys! I’m hosting the High-Speed Foamboard Challenge again this year, and just like last year — it’s all about SPEED! Last year we had some seriously fast builds, but no one broke the foamboard record even though we got very close at 162mph (Achieved by @Mr Man) so the question is...

    Futuristic Cafe Racer Foamboard

    Well, I started my first scratch build with no plans. I got inspired by @leaded50 with his Bell-Ross Xr1, and just winged it (no pun intended🤣) and this is what I have so far.

    Using Plans

    Hey everyone, I'm new to scratch building and I don't really know how to use plans. I've decided on GrizWiz's Mighty Mini bf-109, I've got my hardware and will soon have my foamboard, but I'm not sure how exactly to print the plans or how to use them. Any help much appreciated!

    Plane 50mm EDF P.15 Lippisch concept plane 2

    I was browsing the list of Freewing planes on Motionrc and the lippisch caught my eye. I decided to make my first design based on this plane and it flies great. It uses a 50 mm edf but i feel that the plane could be easily scaled down a bit and still fit the fan. It could also be scaled up...
