foamie

Hi, apologies if this is in the wrong section, but I'm hoping to source some input and suggestions on my ideas for an upcoming indoor flying challenge in my uni class. The challenge is to build a foamie that can fly within the constraints of an indoor basketball court, with a takeoff then a...

Hey everyone! Hope you've been staying safe and healthy. I've been designing a new foamie with swept wing and tail and am stuck on how to implement elevators with the swept tail. I can't really find any example and want to tie elevators to one servo... Any single elevator setup tends to bend the...

Howdy y'all! Last week I became interested in RC planes (I have a deep interest in Rocketry and love flying planes in Kerbal) and ordered a RadioLink T8FB transmitter, 2200 KV motor, ESC, pair of servos, and 3000 mAh battery. I stopped by dollar store for some Adam's foam board and duct tape. I...

Hey all, finally built my first foamie, but out in castaic CA it's regularly 90-100+ in the summer, so I'm worried about the integrity of my hot glue joints if I try to fly in this kind of weather. I guess my question is what would be the upper limit for hot weather, and would cutting...

Hi guys, here is my first scratchbuilt foamie, which I designed and built in 10days. After this succesful testplane, my next project will be more detailed. A 3,5meter / 138inch Cub with about 4-5kg flying weith. I hope you like it ;) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3P5T1INSMdI

Hello everyone! The FT war-birds inspired me to try creating my own from scratch. I built the ft tiny trainer to re-teach myself to fly (last time was when I was 10, now I'm 25) and once I was confident in my abilities I set off. Why the yak-1? mostly because I think we don't have enough people...

How would I go about designing my own scratch built foam aircraft? This may have already been covered. Any guidance is appreciated.

Hello, I have been in the hobby almost a year now and im in love. Swappable count is up to four now and they are all little planes like the FT Flyer and the FT Delta. Im looking to make something bigger and I need to know which planes work with the C size powerpack. I know the spitfire does and...

I have stocked up on 2200mAh 3s 30C batteries. I was wondering if any of you know a good 3D foamie which will accept my batteries, which will ship to UK addresses. I would preferably like a KIT/ARF/PNF/BNF, but not an RTF. Also, I'd rather have something like a scale aerobatic plane, not a...

I have not seen much around this area of Colorado, and if anyone knows of a flying club in close proximity to Monument/Colorado Springs area, please reply, and if not, maybe we can organize some meet-ups. I know of 1-2 parks around me that are large enough, with fields that can be reserved...

First off a little background information: As you could already tell from from my name, my favorite aircraft of all time is the Beechcraft Baron G58 and I have been desperately tried to find any kind of easy to build (or to buy) foamie models of this beauty. Unfortunately, the only ones I could...

After the moisture destroyed my kit FT3D at flitefest, I decided to satisfy the urge for an AS3Xtra by building a profile 3D foamie. I used nothing but hot glue and large popsicle sticks to secure the tail and all that, but heres the problem. The only motor I have is a 24gram blue wonder equiv...

hi! just wanted to show off our latest score and fold model. The F-15 MK2 with free plans available from FRCFOAMIES

Well, this Fomie just flies. No wingtip stall. Plenty of thrust. I am in love with my Corsair Enjoy!

I just ordered the cruiser and I'm really excited to get building this weekend. I also just wanted to share this C-130 my brother built. The plans are available over at http://www.buildafoamie.com.http://www.buildafoamie.com I think you guys should do something similar in a swappable speed build...

For those who would like to get into the 3D Plane's, I would suggest the 3D Hawk. This is my first 3D Plane and is VERY easy to fly with even the most minimal experience. They say to use 5g servos but all I had have are 9g and they work just fine. I also suggest getting a CF wing spar as it WILL...
