This project was a surprise, I’ve avoided the design because the airplane has a challenges. The intakes are way too small and the exhaust is too small. Nothing really fit right. After some planning I figured how to make it all work. The real question is how would it fly? To my surprise it flew great! It flies like an edgy trainer jet. I’d imagine that’s what it was intended to feel like.

By far the YF-23 has been one of the most tricky designs to get flying without the help of a gyro. I’ve made around 4-5 fully new airframes to get this to fly right. Of course the coolest looking 5th gen fighter is the impossible to tame beast. I finally figured this bird out. Keeping the airframe totally scale will absolutely require a gyro to fly.

I’ve always been searching for a simple easy thrust stand and I’ve never found one. Especially for 50 mm fans that typically don’t have any mounting tabs. This Russ stand is fully printable in PLA. It comes with three different sized rings. The large ring fits Motors like Power fun and QX. The small Fitz fans like X fly and FMS.
