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.
F4D Skyray 50mm EDF Jet

You'd be hard pressed to find another edf Jet easier to fly, foam (purchased) or 3d printed. This is 100% the easiest EDF jet to fly I've flow or seen fly on youtube. It prints fantastic and it assembles easily. This Skyray hand launches super easy and will fly at 1/2 throttle and land like butter.
YF-23 Black Widow twin 50mm EDF

This is by far my best design to date. The fit and finish. The lines and the packaging. The YF-23 has been one of those models that is extremely difficult to not only design but fly and fly well. When I fly a design for the first time (maiden) and it flies like this did... its a winner. IMO there have been ONLY 2 RC YF23's that flew well. the banana hobby version from 8 years ago and mine.
Cartoon Mirage 2000 50mm EDF!

I was genuinely surprised at how well this flew on its maiden flight. It was literally perfect. The only thing i had to adjust was the roll rate. This jet prints extremely easy and can be built in 1 hour!!
plane is 22" long and 20" wide. You can print this on a 220/220/220 build plate
parts used
Power fun 50mm 4s
1300-1500 4s recommended.
T-7 50mm EDF jet (trainer)

This jet really surprised me. I wasnt sure if it was going to have F-18 flying character or be something like it. To my surprise it feels like a very stable F18 without the crazy authority. I'm able to really enjoy flying this plane on 3s! with a 4s the hand launches will be easier and slightly heavier. I cant really say anything bad about the flight characteristics.
J10 50MM EDF

This is the same design as my 64mm with modifications to the scale for the 50mm xfly EDF and also reworked servo pockets for 9g servos. It flies exactly the same as my 64mm but it lands way softer.
This jet is only 595g FLYING WEIGHT with a 4s 1300!

Pocket Rocket 50mm and 64mm Jet

The pocket rocket was originally designed to be a super easy to print and really easy to assemble. It uses a 50 mm EDF from X fly. The design is extremely efficient and easy to fly. I designed a self leveling and stabilizing wing. The canopy can be friction fit or you can add magnets if you choose there are only 15 pieces to print the build plate volume is 220 x 2 20 x 220.
