This Foamboard Model has been tested and Flown, It has an Edge Racing Lite 2205 2480kv Brushless motor, 3 9g servos, a 40a 2-4s Brushless esc, and a 5x5x3 Prop. This plane uses a 850-1000mah 3s or 4s lipo (not included) And will need a receiver to complete as it’s a PNP. It does have a...
Last year, I built a twin-engined plane built for speed, and only got around to flying it this week (Spoiler alert: It died in a misjudged low-speed turn). It turned out to fly faster than I originally thought, and I'm now designing a successor with printed parts to streamline the draggiest...
What’s up guys!
I’m hosting a High Speed Challenge, and as you can guess by the title — it’s all about SPEEEED!
Here’s what you need to enter:
A fast airplane. Doesn’t matter if it’s a jet, warbird, pylon racer — as long as it’s fast, it counts.
Some way to track your speed. You can use an RID...
I wasn't originally gonna post this, but decided to anyway😏. Hit 81mph with a short burst of throttle. Power Pack F recommended for super fast flight, 2207 2750kv for INSANITY. You'll need a spar for it on the bottom, CG is on spar as well.
I want to make something go really really fast. IDK how it'll work or anything though. I mocked up a design in onshape and put it in airshaper to see what would happen. I set the speed to 200mph and it looks alright but I don't really know what it's supposed to look like. Here is the link to the...
A few People encouraged me to create an Index for my planes, so here it is! (Notably @Houndpup Rc )
-Modified Simple Cub Resource
-FT Speedwing from 100mph for under $100 episode. Resource
-Mini AT6 Texan based off of Alp's design. Resource
-Master Series P-40 Warhawk. Resource
-Mini Master...
Designed this to make the Mini Mustang ULTRA Fast! (as if it wasn't fast enough already)
Same build as the normal wing except that you will have to modify the spar for the servo and remove paper from part of the wing.
I’ve added a mid and low version depending on how your motor sits.
This is solely made to improve the aerodynamics of the FT Mini Mustang, if you are going to use this, you will have to place the esc where it will get good airflow, as this part blocks airflow to inside of fuselage.
It will fit...
Made these plans for the FT SpeedWing, it looks sweet and you can decide to have the electronics bay on the top or the bottom. I have flown this, and it flies Great! super fast and stable. I didn't use fiberglass rods in any way, and I used DTFB that I taped the surface over.
Enjoy!
CG is...
I've got multiple different pitch options, a spinner, lots of different motors and esc's, and want to be able to fit a 1500mah 4s lipo. Pusher or tractor is fine. Looking for fastest speed possible with foamboard.
Thank You!
Thanks to J&H Areospace for the plans. I used Reader to Tile these. Enjoy!

I need help with a clipped wing Mono coup balsa and covered no foam weight empty 1.5 LB's 36 " wing what size prop and motor can I use with a 3S 1300 lipo battery ?
I wanted to use the maximum amount of power that I can. I do not want a floater?
I am currently designing a beginner friendly 3D pritable airplane. It can be printed from PLA and lightweight PLA. You can already download a few parts, and when I finish new parts, I will add them. That way, you will have a new plane by christmas. Think of it like some kind of advent calendar...
Here it is, in all its slender sleekness: The Yellow Jacket!
Designed as a successor to the "Angry Bee" and "Turbo Bee" experiments, in the vein of the FT Super Bee: It's a twin-motor ROCKETSHIP!
This is the basic power setup, and you can choose to fly on anything from a 3S to 6S, depending...
-Inspiration
So after finally sorting through all of my stuff from flitefest ohio I was inspired by the clean workspace and organized parts to design my first plane. I have a couple of year of building and I have done a variety of giant builds but I would hardly call those "designs". Some of...
Hey all,
This is my first on board video on my SU-34, was a little worried that the camera wouldn't stay on so I stuck with low rates. Camera stayed on fine luckily!
Has anyone had any experience with ESC's like the one in the above photo? I can't find any documentation for them and they don't seem to adhere to the usual throttle calibration process of signalling max throttle, plugging into the battery, then signalling the lowest value.
Any help would be...
