FTFC'25 WWII Saab J21 designed by FlyerInStyle and MiniacRC

[Mr Man]

yeah there will be a skewer in the hole plus a doubled up tail boom, and I accounted for the fact that the tail will be weaker. Its made for a 5-6" prop, not sure if 6" will fit but it'll land like any other mini plane with a 2 bladed prop, not really worried about that

That’s what I thought, looking good so far!

Everything except for the wings is unfolded! hopefully will start building over the weekend and have it flying next week.

Awesome! Hoping to have the ahi den built and flown by next week.

here are the pdf plans without wings, tiled and untiled, if anyone would like to take a look

 

[FlyerInStyle]

So I realized a) how to unfold the wings, and b) I made the plane 1.2m in wingspan on accident. I decided to take a relatively drastic measure and scale it down almost to 1/2 scale. I did get a full plan though, attached is a proper full and tiled plan, should only be 1 sheeto f foam really.

Looks nice!

Got some updated plans, this should build much nicer, if anyone would like to take a crack at it. I am still building mine and hope to fly it soon

The edges of the plans are cut off.

 

[FlyerInStyle]

And it's done! There have been a good amount of changes since I printed the plans for this but hopefully it'll fly about the same, which ideally means well.

Interesting, I'll take a look at what I can do about it

Here are not cut off plans

What size motor does this take?

 

[Mr Man]

A or f pack

 

[FlyerInStyle]

What size motor does this take?

From my testing a pack is best, f pack juts puts the CG too far back. I am running it on a low kv 1806 cause that's what I have on hand. I would recommend an a pack, of using an f pack add some ballast to the nose

 

[FlyerInStyle]

Great!

Would you like to beta build?

 

[Mr Man]

Would you like to beta build?

Idk if I have the time, but we’ll see. What size battery does it use?

 

[FlyerInStyle]

850 3s or equivalent weight, it doesn't need 3s power

Update: did some test flying, it looks like it doesn't glide at all in the video, but it does, just st poorly, but I have had more overweight aircraft fly. When the winds die down I'll try to maiden it. I think removing all the inside paper and not using humongously heavy electronics from larger aircraft would've helped to. If you want to see me test/ fool around with it for a bit, here is the video:

Was it nose heavy?
