Tomahawk 64mm Cruise Jet
This one will blow your mind when you see it fly! This iconic shape is a blast to see flying by, your buddies at the field will love it just as much! It’s fun to assemble and fun to fly.
Disclaimer! This can absolutely be flown manually, I’ve done multiple flights without a level mode activated, I still prefer it because it can be tricky to keep oriented. Also the roll rate is very high. If you choose to fly it without a gyro follow my pre flight checks below . Also this is a toy and a fun Rc model, use it appropriately.
Northrop YB-49 Quad 40mm
By far my favorite flying wing to date. Not as agile as the Horten, but it’s easier to hand launch. This wing was not easy to design as the intakes are rectangle slits and airframe has 8 exhaust nozzles! None of that matters because it’s a pretty scale YB-49 and it’s extremely fun and relaxing to fly. The best part is that balancing this wing is no problem! I used twin 1300 4s lipos and I got 4+ minutes and you can use way larger batteries if you like.
Batwing twin 50mm (twin 64 retract version included soon)
If you show up to the field with this scale bat wing that can actually fly around. It will leave people speechless. I’ve been working on this design on and off for the last 15 years. While it may be a small step back from my twin 40 mm version. It’s a huge leap forward being very scale and having so many cool design features. This bat wing is by far the easiest to hand launch. It’s still porpoises like my other bat wings maybe slightly more than the twin 40 mm. The flight characteristics are good. Due to the extremely low wing loading, it will float in for landings like you can’t believe.
F-35 in 80 and 64mm
I'd say, five or six times I've become obsessed with a design where I need to fly it every chance I get. This is one of them. The biggest problem with the F35 is the high wing loading. They never fly really well in RC form. I have a 50mm version I made over a year ago that floats and flies extremely well as an RC jet. It just wasn't as scale as I wanted, and it wouldn't scale up to the 6s more powerful size I was urning for.

🛩️ EDF Motor Size Calculator
Regardless of how you scale, always print the EDF section first to double check the fit as different manufacturers EDFs, are slightly different sizes.
Calculate the percentage difference between EDF motor sizes to determine how much to scale your 3D printed RC airplane models when 3D printing.
X-59 Quest 70mm
Mirage 4000 (50mm)
back around the 2008-2010 range there was a beautiful mirage 4000 EDF foamy that was white/red and blue like my rendering. It was one of the sweetest planes to fly. I've always wanted to re create it. I have to say, mine flies very similar to what I remember. Its very easy to fly and basically wont stall. You can do some pretty cool slow flying. Easy to print and build.

Shmiggen 50mm and 64mm EDF jets (Cartoon Viggen)
well... this ones special. Super special. It flies amazing as you can see from my videos. I'm offering this jet as a double pack. 50mm and 64mm. I would challenge any 3d printed jet designer to compete against this little fatty.
Pros:
1. looks funny and cute
2. flies unbelievably slow (cartoon planes never do)
3. tons of control, you can perform almost every stunt
4.lands light
5. easy to hand launch! one of the easier ones.
6. prints super easy. Just dial in your printer and print, then glue the parts togther
