I already made 3 type of RC semi truck model, but only this one that I made the build plans of it. Actually I was not planning to make the plans, but there are some of my Youtube viewers that request where to find the plans. So here they are, the plans are in a zip file, that contains PDF files for build instructions, the plans itself and a guide for 3D printed parts. Beside that I also include files for laser cut the parts. The basic material are wood and plywood but the detail parts are 3D printed. The scale of this model is about 1:5 not too accurate though. It uses RC car hobby parts.

This year, I built an F4U Corsair with a 1300mm wingspan. Nine years ago, I constructed a Corsair model using 6mm polyfoam or Depron foam sheets. However, this latest version is significantly simpler and easier to build, and most importantly, a comprehensive build video is available on YouTube.

Another trainer type plane. I build this for my son and my daughter's friends to learn to fly an RC plane. I made it with 1500 mm wingspan because I was inspired by XFly Tasman RC Plane, I already try to fly it and thought I will build a trainer with the same size wingspan. I named this trainer plane "Dara" that means "Pigeon" in Indonesian. Also it has different means, that is a girl. Dara actually inspired by Tecnam 2010 trainer plane, but I change the wing shape and simplify the fuselage lines.
F-4 Phantom Micro RC Plane - Build

After a good feedback on Micro F-14 Tomcat I decided to try it on F-4 Phantom as well. At first I build a 360mm wingspan for 3 channel micro RC parts, but turned out too heavy because I need to add alot of counter weight ballast on the nose. So I made another one that smaller which is 290mm wingspan and use 2 channel RC micro parts for the bigger one. I use low density styrofoam (EPS) foam for the main material and you also need hard foam for the nose part, so it will not easily damage when it hit the ground nose first, or you can use balsa wood or even 3D printed nose part like I did. As usual I use a clear canopy made out of heat shrink plastic for packaging, but this time I use simpler molding technique by using Depron foam or hard foam as the mold and abandoned the mold that made out from 3D printed and wood.
