CubCrafters new NX Cub brings you great flying qualities of any cub, with the excellent ground handling of a Tricycle landing gear. This Mini version is a wonderful 30" trainer that is a little more advanced in build but has (hopefully) amazing flying tendencies. Keeping it simple with a...

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...

I in no way intend to disrupt flitetest's sales of the tutor... but for those of you out there who want a lekker plane to just somma go and fly, i really hope that this plane will meet those expectations. I know for myself that, i cannot afford $100 to purchase a tutor sbk, least of all the...

hey guys recently i have been thinking of attempting to design the ultimate trainer plane, with exceptional characteristics. here are some of my goals: - sub 250gram, for those in countries where licenses are required. - floaty and excellent glide slope. - stable and minimum stall...

This is the Dominator, a simple build aimed to be a direct competitor to the FT Arrow, but easier to build. The KFm wing is very easy to assemble and the airframe is extremely tough, meaning it's a good plane for a beginner, or just a good first wing. It will fly on the A/F pack or equivalent...

Is it possible to wireless trainer in this setup if so how or why not / any alternative? Dx6e - Master Dx6i - slave

The Simple Stick flies great at any speed - with a Power Pack B it's slow enough to fly in very small spaces but with a C pack it really cruises nicely! It glides really well and has very gentle stalls. The wingspan is around 1 meter - 970mm above the spar. For a full flight review, check out...

This was my official first ever RC plane when I was teen. It was never flown and sold sometime later b/c I was too scared to fly it.

Do you want the joy of the FT Explorer, but you only have a is a small motor? That's ok. With this easy flying forgiving plane, you can take it around a small or a large park. These plans are ready for you to build exactly what you need. RECOMMENDED ELECTRONICS: Motor 1806...

INSPIRATION I was asked to try my hand at designing the Luscombe Silvaire from a forum friend, @kilroy07 . He explained how he loved and hated this plane. He loved it for the memories he has with his father in it (see below), but he hated the elbow grease required to shine this beaut' up...

History: This Gentle Maneuverable Easy to fly float plane ended up being a quiet workhorse of the fleet for the US and other NAVY. The History of this plane is Terribly interesting and served a number of niche roles. Mainly as a the Battleship Plane of choice. Yes, Battleship! The most...

...Because Every Cloud should have Silvaire Lining... Kilroy07 has been a sucker for a challenge for a long while now. He joined my First Forum Challenge -Build-ruary. it's a madcap attempt build 4 planes in February. It's just stupid, fun, and you should try it this year! Since those early...

Description: The ShrubSmacker is a mighty mini sized STOL plane. It is a fairly simple build and has a huge flight envelope. You can build it as a regular 4ch plane dial back the throws and use it as a step up from the 4ch Tiny Trainer, or you can build it with flaps and you'll have a STOL...

Hello everyone, Today is all about a soild bank n yank trainer i been building several times now. It is inspired by Tom Stantons built, where he used the 3d printet ribs. That means the plane has a pusher configuration which gives it the capibility to go FPV. I always built it with taped over...

Hello everyone. I’m just getting into RC planes and built myself a FT Tiny Trainer. I think she looks pretty acceptable for a newbi build. Hopefully she flies well too. Hope to do that in the next couple of days. Thanks so much for the Flite Test guys for putting out this information and making...

I'm just looking for friendly talk/help to help me get through this winter here in Northern Michigan. It does not permit many good flying opportunities... I had a chance to fly my Storch 1 time (the day before the snow came, and has not stopped snowing for more then a week), but crashed it many...

Hey everyone im new to RC planes and am looking for a good bind and fly trainer or something not to hard to put together. I likely will do a bit of snow flying so i was thinking maybe a bush style plane? I was looking at something like a bixler 3 or a Durafly Tundra...

Intro (Skip if You Want!): I've been a long time lurker on these forums, but I do a fair bit of designing/building/flying of planes, and it has been a long term goal for me to embark on a project specifically for by fixed wing fans and put it up on these forums and become a contributor myself...
