SPECS Span: 30 in. Length: 43 in. Empty Weight: 27 oz. Power: 70mm EDF Battery: 3000mAh - 5000mAh 4-cell Lipo Flying Weight: ~45 oz. I highly recommend a 12-blade EDF, but this jet will fly on any similarly-powered fan regardless of the...

Hello all! My name is Andrew, and I am a university student majoring in Mechanical Engineering. I've been watching FliteTest for quite a while now and have been inspired by their designs and their attitude toward the hobby. I think it's safe to assume that I am not the only one here who has...

Hi guys! Today i primary wanted to build on at my Dc3 but then i got a great idea! I had a transparent peace of a packaging and there was a scrape in it. But when i went to the rubbish bin i saw that the scrape in the packaging cached the light from my lamp and reflected it. This brought me to...

The F-86 Sabre is among my favorite jets. How can you not love the greatest MiG killer in history? I decided to make the it scale to my F-15. It requires ONLY 2 sheets of foamboard! This means that if you lawndart it (I did the first one!) it's no trouble to rebuild! I used a FMS 12 blade 50mm...

Any ideas on this concept? So you know how jets usually have the engine in the back and some canards in the front, well what if you replaced the canards with the engines (I swear I'm not drunk!). Essentially the concept was for a twin edf aircraft to have its motors rotate on an axis for...

As you may have seen, Mid7Night has recently started an impressive XB-70 build here. Coincidentally, I have been planning an extremely similar build to his for the past month or so. My goal is to build a 1/20 scale (9.45 foot) XB-70 with 4 EDFs and retracts with a total AUW under 4.5kg (10 lbs)...

So it started out with a set of 64mm (3S) EDF motors and some 40AMP ESCs. It ended with what appears to be a decent setup. Fingers crossed. The initial glide tests showed me I could move the battery closer to the main fuse and shorten the nose section. The 2nd round tests with flight controls...

I was inspired to attempt to create my own designs after finishing up an FT Viggen. This is a model designed by me although I must admit it turned out very similar to an F-16 style aircraft. I model the aircraft using blender in 3D and then utilize UV mapping and some plugins to "unfold" the 3D...

Im sure some of you remember the poorly photo shopped slow flying plane, Im challenging elite test to built this plane with the small wings and twin engine and see if it actually takes flite!

As I don't see an EDF forum I'll post some of my impressions of Freewing F-5 Tiger here under "Warbirds". Some background is in order. I received this model as a hand me down after the original owner crashed it on the maiden flight performing a classic rendition of the “Saber Dance”. While the...

Hey Guys! I am part of speedfest at Oklahoma State University this year and I need your help! For those of you that don't know what this is (probably all of you), it is a competition that OSU puts on every year for the senior design students to compete in. This year we made Delta wing aircraft...

Inspire by a land speed record vehicle. Something different Almost complete. 70mm EDF AAW 850 Grams

Does anyone have an idea of an edf unit, esc, and battery that would be powerful enough to pull me on a skateboard (the all up weight with me on the skate board is about 115 pounds)? I don't know if I should use a 70mm or a 90mm. Maybe even two 70mm ones. My idea is to make an edf jet powered...

These are inspired by my childhood love of flight and passing it on to my son. Here are some of our designs. Hope you like them.

Yes we went for it! Also a few pictures of the other big boys we built from scratch. My son and I

Hello everyone! As the title may suggest, I'm currently in progress of building 1/60 scale Airbus A350-900XWB. This is my first commercial Airliner Scratch build, so i can almost guarantee there will be a very high fail/success ratio. I'm a part of the Newmarket, Ontario, Canada Makerspace...

Hello everyone, I am going to make a jet engine to put in to a plane and I wanted to use a FT plane, but I'm not sure which plane to use. I would like it to be able to go as fast as possible. The jet engine will have a 128mm/5" internal diameter and a 135mm/5.3" external diameter. What would be...

First I would like to say this is my first post. I have made the formatting as organized as I can, hope you enjoy. I recently bought all these components with the intention of building and flying the Habu 2. http://bit.ly/1l6JVrE Bare Airframe: Habu 2 http://bit.ly/1Nn7S3I Delta-V 15 69mm...

Hey everyone, I'm in the process of going to the 'next level' with my foam board planes and have decided to try and smash the 100mph barrier. Nerdnic has been quite an inspiration in doing this, especially as he has done it with some of his own designs. Here is my set up - NTM propdrive...

A good FT friend is sending me a 64mm EDF motor. Wants to see what I'll come up with. Hmm time to start designing very simple and light air frames. For some reason some of the classic designs speak to me. To be honest the de Havilland Vampire looks wonderful. Or maybe the Grumman A-6...
