suggestions for a new project

I imagined it would be difficult at that scale because some of the parts proprtional to the thickness of the foam (3/16 in) would be scaled down. However, you still managed to put it together at 45% which is pretty impressive. I am glad it works! I imagine the full scale version should be easy to put together but I am not sure if I can make it right now since I am in an area where I can’t buy foam.

The only tip I have is to connect the two wing pieces for each side in the plan, easier to cut put two pieces rather than 4 and glue them together and scale the wings up 115 or so percent width wise. Also what is up with the wierd kfm step on the wing, why not a normal one?

I have tried to make the wing a connected piece but the parts overlap and create a shape that would be impossible to cut out. As for the wing, it is that shape so that there is rigidity when trying to fold the wing however, I could change it if you send a simple reference drawing.

I think it will just eb easier to make it myself, and I'll show you if you have a different file that would really help. Dwg also works

I can't afford EDF's but i'd love to see a mighty mini prop powered sea harrier. FT does not do one. I think it would be super cool.

let me know if you need help with the build, enjoy!

Edit: it is missing a piece. I will update it when I can.

Super kind of you. I just lost my F-16 in a tree So, this should be my next jet. Really looks amazing. Have you flown it at all?

It is untested because I do not currently have the materials to build it, keep that in mind if you want to build it.

No problem. I think it will fly great. I something looks right it probably is right.

@akimbo here are my modifications for your j35 to make it a better chuck glider, yet to build it but should be a better build and better flying. are you fine with me submitting this as a resource if it flies fine?

I recommend adding a small piece for the cockpit

I just made the cockpit part of the spine piece because it was too small to cut out when I was building it jsut by the scaled down plans

My bad, I see it now. I assume you also scaled the slots for the foam?

I removed slots and tabs, they are an unecessary pain at such a scale

I meant where the edge connects

Are there any single engine jets you guys would like to see designed? I am looking for a new challenge and would love to build something that you guys would find interest in. There are many planes that have already been built into rc ones but, I feel that there are at least a few that are yet to be attempted to built out of foam board or at all. Here are some planes I had in mind:

If you have not decided on a project, How about the new Trainer. T-7 Red Hawk.

Thank you for the suggestion. I will definitely make plans for this one. I have seen resources for the goshawk and l-39 but not the t-7

Yeah, that I did. I will build it today and see how it goes
