Dr. Looping Looie Plan Index

[Dr. Looping Looie]

After over 3 years of building foamboard planes, I think its finally time to open a plan index thread. Unfortunately, Im a computer noob and I dont have plans for all of my scratchbuilds, but I hope that this thread will encurage me to make more plans.

This should not only be an index for plans, but also a list with pictures and videos of all my designs with important information and recommendations, so that you can look for inspiration. I wont include detailed build instructions, please look for the thread of the particular plane for that.

Of course, this is not my full time job, so please dont expect me to have plans rightaway and dont expect perfect quality. But all the plans will be for free!

If you find any issues or mistakes I made, feel free to post them, because it will help everyone.

Projects complete with plans:

Dornier Libelle II

Kolibri

Opel RAK.1

Wind Puff

Turbo Trainer

Planes without plans:
Learjet 23
Twin Boom Explorer
Twin Messerschmitt BF-109
Micro Henschel Hs P.87
Looping Louie plane

Projects in progress:
One Wing to rule them all
Umbaran Starfighter (Star Wars)
LAAT Gunship (Star Wars)

Upcoming Projects:
50mm EDF Sportjet
Twin Engine civil plane
Some giant seaplane (maybe Berijew Be-103)

Mods or tipps/tricks:
Materials I like
Biplane FT mini Speedster
Simple removeble landing gear with suspension


Please note that all the links will soon be added once Ive figured out how this works!

Dornier Libelle II

Very easy to make 3-4ch seaplane, slow and scale flyer, perfect for flying off water, excellent water handling.

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

Kolibri

Made specifically for high-alpha flying, very wide speed envelope.

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

Opel RAK.1

1929 rocketplane, part of FTFC20, flies very stable.

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

Wind Puff

This ultralight aircraft might not have the best looks, but its feature-packet with advanced landing gear, moving pilot figure and folding wings. The designs STOL aspect can be maxed out to the absolute extreame. Similar in size and weight to the E-Flite Timber, it beats the Timber in every category relevant for STOL.

Turbo Trainer

A recreation of my first RC plane, but with an F-pack. On 4s, it can reach some serious speeds.

@Dr. Looping Looie WHAT MOTOR AND power setup are you using on the wind puff?

Flite test C-pack at 4S

Flite test C-pack at 4S

would it run on a 3s???

 

[Matthewdupreez]

would it run on a 3s???

or would i need to scale it down a bit for that?

 

[Dr. Looping Looie]

would it run on a 3s???

I have flown it on 3S and it works but its not overpowered. It feels pretty scale for the type of airplane.

but if i wanted the performance of the 4s, version.
then i could probably scale it down to 90% or so

Keep in mind that if you scale it down, you need a smaller prop.

[Dr. Looping Looie]

Love your wing puffer.
What was reason to move tale horizontal stabilizer lover the boom? Was it so be in front of the propeller and better air flow?
Thanks

I wanted to have a full flying stabelizer and by putting it lower I could move the whole thing.
