@william steendam - will u share your scaled down plans?
I'm interested in it too!
@william steendam - will u share your scaled down plans?
WOW William you certainly gave it a good wind test. She looks good in the air, less wind and I bet she flies like a dream. Great flying area by the way!
finally got to maiden the scaled down f16 on a 4s 1300 mah lipo / 50 mm 11 blade edf 40 a esc ,, my battery placement was a bit to far back , had to put it almost near the same place as Kilroy07 pic above , scaling down possibly affects cg, on the way to rc park wind was gentle, by the time I got there it started getting real windy, decided to fly anyways,, 1st flight tail heavy,, 2nd flight better cg but getting pushed around by the wind, 3rd flight started ok but had a rough landing,, tough lil plane hardly damaged, nose a lil crumpled ,,, I decided to wait for a calmer day for my next flight,, might make it easier for my limited experience to trim her out and open her up
peeps have asked for scaled down plans
I just resized entire page.. a and b folds as well as slots etc i just made my cuts on outside of line " i scratchbuild and cut out myself. I figured it would take less time and effort to do it manually whilst cutting" it worked out fine@william steendam, just to confirm, did you just size down each page or did you go in and adjust A/B folds and other slots? I think just re-size the entire page?
That indent is where the front lip of the canopy piece will fit (roll the paper over the lip there for strength.)So since the top of the rear nose is indented a bit, where does the former go?
Missing might be a shot where you ended up with battery and electronics and just what to do with the "formers" I almost glued them in as bulkheads until I didn't see any pics to do that. So I used them inside the nose and fuselage to help line the two up (was that the intent?)
Thanks @william steendam ! Out of curiosity, what is your weight without battery? I have a 50mm EDF that runs on 3S producing 650g of thrust at max. Curious if that will be enough for this design?
Already have scaled down plans for 50 mm edf .... linked above lol... i assume u redid them for a laser cutter ? Just curiousJust have to see thx to @Mid7night . I’m not the best builder but these plans are obviously well thought out and things just fit so well. I was terrified of the nose cone but it went together very easily for me!
Scaled down plans for a 50mm EDF. @AircPirateNinsei ill post them when done and built to confirm things.

50mm scaled down version. Weighs in at 350g and has a 50mm edf capable of 650g of thrust on 3s. Nervous as my only high C rated battery is a 1300 3s 55c and weighs 130g. At storage charge it is not enough at full throttle to lift this.
I also have a smaller 3s 850mah 55c battery which I may try first.
Hope to maiden tomorrow.
