This is the first time I use twin EDF for fighter jet model. This F-15EX Eagle II RC model use twin 70mm EDF for the power plant.
I share all the plans and decal files on my website paper-replika.com, you can find the link to the build instructions page below. This model is simplified but still resemble the scale look of the F-15EX Eagle II on the top side, but the bottom side is very simple so the build process will not too hard. The model was build by my friend Roy with plans from me. The hardest part when building this model is on the nose section. The air intake comes in 2 different angles, so you may choose which one to make. Also the canopy has 2 version too, you can use segmented canopy or 2 piece of mica plastic molding.

Now I will build this giant Cessna Citation CJ1 RC plane. I will use 6mm foam board or Depron foam for the material and will test it with pusher prop configuration and also ducted fan (EDF) for more scale look, and also will try 3d printed retract landing gear for the first time.

In this video we're going to build from scratch and fly a legendary jet fighter, the F-8 Crusader I will also test it using pusher prop and EDF for the propulsion system
we'll see which one is better. I'll be relying on trusty 5mm Depron foam as the main material. Don't worry, I've prepared downloadable PDF plans on my website in both A4 and A0 sizes for your convenience. And the best part? This amazing F-8 Crusader will be brought to life by the talented Roy using my plans!

This time I'm back to basic by using all foam board material with some plywood parts. This De Havilland Tigermoth biplane RC plane is designed to have the same scale as PT-17 Stearman. While Stearman wingspan is 1300mm this Tigermoth wingspan is 1200mm. Smaller but still can do short take off. Using 3536 1200kv brushless motor, 40A Esc and 3S 2200mah can give this plane more than 5 minutes of flight time. The flying weight is about 1145 gram, with that made this model has 4 on wing cube loading and that's almost like a glider. Because it's the same scale as Stearman you can use Stearman's papermodel pilot figure.

This DIY Beaver model RC plane was built solely as a test bed for a brushless motor, esc and prop that sponsored by T-motor. This model is also an experiment to build an RC plane using 2 different materials together, which are 3D printed parts and depron foam or foam board. I am still learning to make 3D model parts for RC model plane and the result is far from what I aimed to be. It's just basically 3D printing parts without any optimization for flying model. I finally found out that Blender is not a good choice to make 3D model for 3D printed flying model, so the result is jaggy and not smooth enough and also not optimized. And with so many parts to be printed and each with unique setup, make it more complicated, no wonder they sell the 3D printed kits so expensive, because there are so much work to do to prepare it. Nevertheless the result is stunning, despite not so good quality build but the end product is so beautiful in the air and on land.
