Hot Shot 90mm and 50mm
Possibly the best beginner EDF platform for both the 50mm and 90mm. They are extremely easy to fly in general. The 50mm hand launches like a dream and the 90mm with printable landing gear takes off like a STOL jet.
I’d like to thank Paul Bingham for reminding me about this classic airframe that has been used by a few manufacturers a while back to make fiberglass turbine jets. They were more simple two servo jets that flew great.

Platinum F22 Raptor 64mm with Thrust Vectoring!
This is hands down the ultimate F22 Raptor. This is my 3rd iteration of the mighty Raptor. It has everything I’d want and nothing it doesn’t need. It’s powerfull, floaty, agile, couldn’t be easier to hand launch, couldn’t be easier to land, it has thrust vectoring you can keep on all the time!! (If you want) . The assembly is super simple (unlike other designs with a million bits you need to source). This thing is so fun, you’ll be grinning from ear to ear.
All up weight 1442g
Length 41”
Wing span 30”

Platinum Series Saab Viggen 90 and 64mm
Since this was going to be my 100th design it had it be special. I pulled out all the stops to make my dream RC fighter and this is definitely it. My original 64mm viggen over two years ago put me on the map because jet was such a nice flying RC jet. Viggens have been known to be pretty much the best Rc jets you can get. My two favorite size RC Jets are 64 and 90mm so this was what imsettled on. I feel they are perfect in every way and will leave you beyond satisfied with the flight performance.
Grumman X-29 50mm
This project has spanned over two years. The design changed dramatically over five times since. I’ve tried different airfoils, canard integration with the main wing, servo placement, fan placement, incidence and more. I’m finally happy with the flight characteristics. The X-29 does not require a gyro and flies stable and is a blast! I landed on the final 50mm scale for a number of reasons, it feels light and floaty and doesn’t require a wing spar.
The iconic shape is unmistakable overhead!
F9F Panther 50mm
This little jet Rocks! The most fun I’ve had in a while. Simple to print, simple and fun to build and it rips. It took a lot of work but it was worth the headaches.

Gripen 64mm (Platinum Series)
My original Gripen 64 had the “Magic” sauce. Everyone went nuts over it. My new version uses the same basic ingredients with all the scale details and panel lines my old one was missing. Building this bird and handling it is worth all the time printing. Then you fly it and it’s on rails.
You can fly this Gripen on 4s or 6s. 4s feel lighter and more floaty. 6s flies with more power but more wing loading. After doing both it’s a toss up but I’d choose the 4S
T-720
Another pusher prop from me! I’d say this actually flies better than a Long EZ. More stable and more elevator authority. This is a Russian experimental attack aircraft. One of my facbook group members posted a cool photo and I thought “soooo cool” I need to try this. The build is easy and fun to put together. It’s also very easy plane to hand launch and fly.

Pod Racer
Based on a single photo of this crazy concept I decided to give it a try. I loved the idea of a pod racer style layout with twin tail booms. Designing prop planes is a little out of my comfort zone but it was fun and proved to be a very fun little plane to print, assemble and fly. The plane doesn’t have any bad characteristics at all. Easy to hand launch and easy to land
