48" Twin 70mm F15 Scratchbuild.

Splinter189 · Oct 16, 2018

Hey FT Fans, I wanted to tell you about a project I just started. This is going to be a 48" twin 70mm EDF F15. Really pleased with how it has started to come together. Will post more as the week progresses.

BTW, I am going to design this with a pair of under wing drop tanks what can hold reverse props for those that dont want to mess with EDFs

You are releasing awesome design after awesome design, will there ever be a F-8 in the future? Also will you be releasing these as XF plans to the community?

No immediate plans at present.

As long as the F14 and F15 go well, I will likely do an F18, B1 Bomber, F111, Tornado and F35. Those are all on the short list

I do plan to make all plans available

That's a lot of swing-wing designs. No MiG-23, SU-24? Haha, just kidding, I love watching your work!

The F15 was a bit unstable. The 2nd version I'm doing will fix that. When attaching the wings on the first version, I had some warpage that I suspected would make flight a bit wonky. This will be an easy fix. Overall pretty happy, I think this one will actually be a really good flier with the bugs worked out.
