foamboard

RULES Plane needs to be able to carry at least 200g of weight. If your plane is an A or F pack it needs to carry only 100g. (A Gopro is about 220g) worth 10points Plane needs to be able to land in a 8x20ft landing strip (extra points if it is surrounded by trees). worth 15 points Plane needs to...

I recently got interested in designing ms style planes, I have designed the Me163 komet, and the BF-108. If you have any ideas for designs you would like to see let me know and I might do it. This will basically be my plans index. Me 163 Komet plans BF-108 plans

Okay, so I have never designed anything before so no promises that this will work out but what's the harm in trying!!! (IF I do get it designed it will fly or I will die trying! lol)

Wing 'shoulder'

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.

Hey guys, i made a simple glider that has a 1200mm wing span, 840mm length and weighs in around at 800-900 grams with all the electronics including the battery. the shape and design is a mix of the FT explorer and FT simple storch. I currently have a 40a ESC and a 2212 2200kv motor and do not...

My 3D printed/foamboard hybrid RC 3D plane with 80cm wingspan. All stl files and foamboard plans are here: https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:6559930. I will keep this site more up to date than this post - so use the thingiverse site rather than this post if you plan to build it. This is...

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!

Build Instructions Below. I flew this air tractor and it has some interesting characteristics. First the CG is really close to the front of the wing only 20MM back. Second is that when landing USE 20% THROTTLE or it will land very hard(it really needs airspeed!. Also I tried to stall the thing...

Hi, I recently bought a Sculpfun S10 laser cutter with the intention to cut my foamboard with it. Obviously not doing my research beforehand i quickly found out that my white (both paper and core) foamboard decided to mess with being lasered. Experiments with black (both paper and core)...

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...

I have tried for many years to find good foamboard here, cheap. The stuff at the stores is heavy, and expensive, not good for building planes. I have tried different options, and I am still searching for the right one. Options at the moment: FliteTest Foam: Pros - Good quality...

I've shared a lot of this on social media - and I've felt bad for not being on the forums in a while - so especially now that it's flown I want to make sure there's a place here on the FT Forums where I can engage, answer questions, and connect with everyone who isn't on the "other" places. So...

Hello! New here but I used to play this game called Simple Planes on my phone, pretty accurate with flite physics for a phone game and looks good too! The best thing though is that you can build your own stuff to fly, and there's an option to convert your plane into a 3d printable file. Now is...

Pegna P.c.1 was a racing seaplane proposal from designer Giovanni Pegna for the Italian contribute in the Trophy Contest. (Pc =Pegna corsa (Race)) The front and propeller of the Pc 1 pivoted up to clear the water for takeoff, landing, and while operating on the water’s surface. Pegna’s racing...
