Which plans are these? I’d be interested in building it if they’re available. Thx.

Hello sirjaymz!

The PDF plan I used is from Dzung50.
It is the most popular design and very easy to work with 3/16" thickness card board.
I did some modifications since the original plan is intended for a propeller located in the middle of the fuselage.
If you ignore these cuts just provide a support for the ducted fan with an air exhaust tunnel.
I painted the bottom of the plane with the American flag so it could be easier to see the orientation while flying.
I also changed the ailerons to be more similar as the original plane.
I hope this info helps you.
This is a very easy plane to make using cardboard. If you have any questions please let me know.

Happy flights!

Thank you very much. I’ll be getting this ready tomorrow to cut out on my needle cutter. Thanks for sharing the plans.

Man! You did an amazing job! I wish I could see it but all of your pictures are of just plain tables…. Oh well I guess it’s supposed to be stealthy

The first flight with a nose heavy condition. (using a 1600mAh 4S battery all the way to the front.)
Next flight will be with a bigger battery moved more to the back.
Here is the video:
