warbird

Enough teasing in other threads, now is time to make one dedicated for this one! First, a bit of history of this airplane. In 1937, the French air ministery wanted a light single seat fighter after realising in 1936 during the Spanish civil war that the french aviation wasn't really up to date...

Howdy. What we are going to have here is a DTFB/purple foam/balsa composite build with full aluminum foil sheeting. Other features are aluminum tube for control surface hinges, aluminum tube suspension, and a belly exhaust vent. Wingspan: 36" Predicted weight: 400grams The wing is built on...

All up weight- 405 grams Wingspan- 36 inches This will be brief. Please leave any questions, tips, or builds of your own in the comments. Most of the wing construction i will skip. It is a standard D tube wing. The ribs were made using the "sandwich between plywood ribs" method. It was...

So a few days ago I started pondering over the concept of building an RC heinkel 111. I've always had a strong fondness for this plane, and found its smooth curves and eliptical wings very aesthetically pleasing. I then thought about building it to the same scale as the FT spitfire, realising...

Introduction This thread is dedicated to the build log of my Dad's Guillows P40. This plane has a very interesting and unique history, and I have really grown quite attached to it. I am really looking forward to completing the plane and seeing it in the air, and I hope you will too! Please...

FT MiG-3 Description: The FT Mig 3 is a result of a wonderful to your collaboration with one of our community members, Nic Lechner. Nic’s incredible design has been simplified so it can be built as fast as it flies. The FT Mig 3 uses the same familiar techniques that are incorporated in all...

I want to get into flying warbirds but im kinda broke, I know about fms but i like bigger warbirds. So far I have flow the champ and a texan, what would be a good warbird thats semi easy to fly, is big-ish and is under 150$ (i have batteries and radio systems)

I didnt know where to post this but i would love a p 38 speed build/swap able please add to this so ft recognizes it

This build started as an effort to make a companion for my friend's Spitfire. I found that user Ultramicrobe already made modifications of FT Spitfire plans that make it into Messerschmitt Bf-109 ( article on FliteTest ). Since I'm a novice scratch-builder, I applied Ultramicrobe's...

Scene its winter here I decided to try to design a plane. Not just any plane a world war 2 plane. After searching a while I found the Dogles A-20 bomber. Now I want it To be a slow flying air plane I started to design the wing. I made it pretty fat to try to make it slower. I also...

After I had built the Spitfire, I decided to build an P40e Kittyhawk. Here is my documentation of the built (mostly pictures) :D

Hello everyone, I make this Thread to show you the building process of my Spitfire made with 3mm epp.

While I've been waiting on parts for my Hot-wire cutter for my JU-52 project, I've decided to take on a home project- The CR. 42 Falco has been a magnet to my eye for quite some time now, and ever since I built my Brewster Buffalo, I knew I'd want one as its adversary. I followed a very...

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...

I haven't been "new" for a few years. I have been flying RC off and on, since 2001. I started with balsa gliders, and moved into foamy warbirds. I still have gliders but now they climb up on props, and lipos instead of a spool of line bolted to a car starter. I enjoy building as much as I...

Just a couple of pics of my completed winter project. No real deviations to report from the build video. I will say bending the landing gear was a real pain. It took forever and it's still not straight. All in all a fun build. I went with flaperons, leading edge slats and Armée de l'Air...
