20 days is enough time right? Especially since I'm not home till Sunday... I'm gonna pretend that doesn't matter because the stuff takes time to arrive anyways. Yea...
Anyways the P-63 is a pretty cool WWII plane that never saw combat in WWII and it looks somewhat easy to scratch build given...
Hi everyone, my entry into this contest will be the Dornier Do 335 Pfeil. I've never done an aircraft in the pusher/puller configuration before and I do tend to prefer Luftwaffe paint schemes.
It will have a length of 45" and a winspan of approximately 55"
I'm not planning to do retractable...
Hi everyone, I had such a great time working on the 2018 Flite Test Forum Challenge: WWII Design & Build and I’m realizing that was almost 7 years ago. Flite Test has slowed down their official releases, and Master Series releases have ceased. So I would like to re-start this design and build...

A friend of mine recently reached out with a design challenge/idea. He wanted my design expertise for a project he was finishing up. He needed a target. The Design criteria were as follows:
Big enough to target at ~100'-150' away - 50-60" WS
Slow Flyer, he wanted enough time to...
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...
I really love the Gull-wing style design of the Minimoa which is a German Sailplane. They come in many sizes; 104" 99" 72" 50" 35" and 34".
I will base mine on the Minimoa 50 (plans depicted below.)
The Göppingen-gö-3 "Minimoa" is a the famous 1930s German sailplane designed be the team of...
Here is my next project: the Messerschmitt P.1092! This WWII fantasy aircraft was designed during the war as some sort of single engine Me 262. There are five different designs of this plane, I am going to make a combination of number 2 and 5. I really like the engine placement, it looks unique...
So, with winter break almost upon me, and with a lengthened design cut off date, I'm going to be adding an additional aircraft to this challenged. It classifies under the fantasy moniker as it was drawn up but never built in any capacity. One of the things I learned with last years challenge, is...
The Me 163 Komet is one of my favorite airplanes of WWII, it held the airspeed record until Chuck Yeager broke the sound barrier. So the name of the game with this project is speed, and lots of it.
WINGSPAN: 32in
MOTOR: 1700kv
ESC: 30A
BATTERY: 1100mAh 6S
While my power setup is the most...

During Family Day Trip to Wilmington, NC with my Mother, Step-Father and Sons, we stopped in to U.S.S. North Carolina. a WWII Battleship. Something I had passed EVERY time I went to Wilmington over the years living in NC. As the morning was cloudy and a bit rainy, it was a perfect...
This thread is where I will be documenting my build process of the WWII Vought XF5U "Flying Flapjack" designed by SPONZ and LocalFiend.
here is their thread about it :D:):cool::applause:
I printed out the plans (and greatly concerned my father about how much ink and paper I was using) today...

Welcome to Team ALLIED FORCES! If you are here, it's probably because you are building a righteous American, English or Soviet Union aircraft (or other Allied power, France, China et al., see below) that never saw action! (See...
I'll be aiming for this Russian oddity: the Kalinin K-12
This Site claims this proof-of-concept pre-WWII was a test for a larger tail-less Bomber. After successful demonstrations of this Bird-feather-painted working concept, the designer was arrested prior the larger version was finished...
