Software for Designing Foamboard Planes

[Mr Man]

it would be really helpful if someone also comes up with good reliable tutorial on how to CAD model Flitetest foldable under-cambered swept-back foamboard wings,apart from Master series foamboard wings considering the bend radius, foamboard thickness where we can't use sweep command as it scales down the airfoil geometry at the wing tips, which is not the real scenario in foldable Flitetest swept-back foamboard wings.

I think the same technique would still work, but they can also be made easily in 2d

Part 3 is out!! Part 4 will be a lot shorter, as it only goes over how to flatten and export skins, and a few other things.

I watched part 3 and all the other parts and they all are pretty good and do make a part explaining how to make plans and stuff but overall a pretty good series this would have been very helpfull for me if it came out a couple months ago back when I was first learning how to design my own airplanes !

yes,a video on how to make plans out of flattened parts dxf derived from onshape in inkscape or any other related tool would be really helpful.

Give him the ole thumbs up folks!👍

I wasn’t all that great at designing a couple of months ago 😆. Thanks for liking it! 👍

Makes sense....but I think u were pretty decent at designing stuff even a couple months back ! And also whatever happened to ur foamboard funjet that was supposed to break 200 ?

It was a foamboard radjet, and it nearly hit 160mph. I’m currently working on a new sleek jet that’ll hopefully Break 200mph. (Pic attached below)

Hmmm........interesting design whats the wingspan ? And what motor are u planning on using ? And why are all ur speed airplanes pusher airplanes I mean what made u choose the pusher prop config over the standard front facing one ? But overall an interesting design that I wanna see fly....

I believe pushers are more aerodynamic....BTW we don't want to hijack this thread, so maybe we should continue the conversation here:

I got 158mph with it!

Yeah true

And believe me...It's no joke to fly!😨😱😮😬😨😳🫣😲😅

wow, bullet plane!

Yup! 😂 I wish I could fly closer but I don't want to hurt anyone and I don't think I could pull up in time to miss the trees😆
