    Messerschmitt Bf-109 - foamboard build based on Ultramicrobe's mods of FT Spitfire

    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...

    36" Fiat CR. 42 Falco

    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...

    Yak-1 Custom Foamie

    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...

    Another guy joined the forum to milk it for secrets.

    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...

    FT Storch

    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...

    Swappable Series suggestion: Stuka dive bomber.

    I would love to see Flitetest feature produce plane based on the Junkers Ju 87 Stuka dive bomber in the swapable build series. The plane is an iconic plane and one of the most easily recognisable of WW2, with its fixed landing gear and inverted goal wings. It really looks like a bird of prey...

    Andre's Durafly Curtiss P-40N Warhawk 1100mm (PNF)

    Durafly Curtiss P-40N Warhawk 1100mm (PNF) Anyone listening to the Afterhours Podcasts will know I've been waiting for this plane a long time. When HobbyKing accounted more production delays back in the spring I all but gave up on the plane and opt'd to buy a used Dynam Fw 190 1200mm. A...

    Spinner Size and Prop Performance

    I have had very good success with the Suppo BL-2217/7 motor/APC 6x5SF prop combo recommended as a "high performance" option to power my FT warbirds. I love the Spitfire and the Mustang and have build a few of each already. I currently use a 2 1/4" Dubro spinner on this power combo on all the...

    New Twin Warbird

    Hey everyone, Just wanted to know what you think of my new Twin FPV Warbird. It flies super nice. I also fitted it with a GoPro in the cockpit and am currently fitting the FPV gear. The plan is to fly around the village and go on missions to hills across the valley, perhaps landing...

    My second Spitfire build

    This is my 7th scratch build from the flite test downloads, by far the pride of my mini fleet! The baby blender v2 was the best flying plane for my growing skill level to date but when I purchased the 2" spinner I knew I had to build a proper spitfire! So here it is, after I put the wing and...

    raTBD Devastator

    Here's my first go at designing and building from scratch. First, I learned everything I'm doing here from either Flite Test or NerdNic videos and builds (and all the people who inspired them). Second, my plane choice is driven by the fact that Douglas Devastator does not receive much love in...

    Ultimate Airsoft Warbird

    Hello, I suggest you should build mini airsoft gun inside warbirds to have realistic dogfight. The small airsoft guns should be on the wings like real planes, such as supermarine spitfire.:D
