When you design so many planes you have a hard to differentiating them. This one is easy. BEST fighter jet yet. It does literally nothing wrong. Its the most compact jet i've made. No wasted space or material. Prints, builds, hand launches, pillow lands as good as anything. Honestly its probably the best flying F15 rc plane.
Eurofighter twin 40mm EDF

I'm really loving these xfly twin 40 platforms. they allow for a scale fuselage and deliver a good 1000g of thrust! This Eurofighter takes great advantage of these twin little motors. The Jet flies very floaty. Hand launches and lands super easily. The build goes together quickly.
Specs:
865g all up weight
1000g thrust
35" long
25.5" wide
The Eurofighter has four control surfaces.
F18 Super Hornet Twin 40mm (Kyles New Favorite by a mile)

I wasnt ready to attempt the F18 Super Hornet until I had the skills and the knowledge to do so. I carefully planned how large this plane would be, how long the wing span would be, the thicknesses and tolerances of every part. Where to position the EDF's and the battery.

Guys!!! F-35C, the carrier variant that has larger wings, more lift and easier to fly all around. easy print and easy build. only two servos! I had such a great experience with my direct taileron mounting system on my f16 I couldnt wait to do the same with the F35! this is an all around great jet.
F117 Stealth Fighter twin 40mm!

This design is super special. Its only 700g all up flying weight with a 2400 4s. It makes 1000g of thrust! it underhand launches, I repeat! it UNDER HAND launches easily. NO need for a complicated bungee launch, catapult or landing gear, no dolly launches. no need for a friend to throw. On top of all this, it lands like a soft comfy pillow.
the plane builds super easy. and prints easy.
Dagger 1 twin 40mm EDF jet (now with Thrust Vectoring!)

6.30.24 update! One of my great and talented customers / test pilots Thomas Heuer loved the Dagger 1 so much he developed a thrust vector system that uses the same two servos for the elevons and nothing else! just print the parts and assemble it. It doesnt need to be put on a switch either!
This was a custom design I actually dreamed about one night. I combined an F22 with an SU-47.
F16 Gen 2 and my (F16 V3 older version)

Latest F16 is the Gen 2. I have learned alot in the past 8 months and it all shows on the latest Gen 2 Viper. You will learn a few things with this new iteration. You DONT need a wing spar and you can fly a jet like this with 2 servos and NO control linkages or push rods. This viper uses the symmetrical servo head glued into a slot in the Taileron.

Ok guys, the long awaited F16/XL will not disappoint. Its super easy to print, build and fly. It could be one of the best flying airframes i've ever flown. Please watch my flight video below to see how well this actually flies. It flies slow and fast. the envelope is giant!
F7U Cutlass 50mm EDF Jet

The F7U Cutlass was a carrier based US navy jet. It may not have been the greatest US carrier fighter but it sure flies great as an RC jet! super docile and super predictable. Just like all my planes it prints easy, builds easy and flies amazing. This and the F4D Skyray can be considered trainer jets 100%. if you're looking for an easy to fly and throw edf this is it.
NASA X-36 50mm EDF jet

NASA designed the X-36 to be a tailless fighter agility research vehicle. I always loved how it looked and wanted the challenge to make it fly. The vertical tail version flies very well! super agile and has very light wing loading. The build is very easy. It hand launches very easily and flies with a very unique character. I would say this plane is an intermediate and above.
