This particular design was a collaboration with Thomas Heuer! I designed the Original plane, it flew solid and enjoyable and Thomas took it to the next level with more details and made the whole design better!
Watch how great this thing flies!

This awesome plane was seen in the movie Top Gun Maverick as the fight scene where Maverick dogfights it in the F-14.
Like all my designs this PAK-FA prints and builds super easy. It flies very predictably and well. Never buy a 3d printed plane without video footage of it launching, flying and landing :-)
Working with Thomas has been a pleasure, both of our strengths with design compliment each other. I get the rough airframe working and flying and he takes the plane and makes the fit and finish much nicer! much more polished. Many small adjustments like a bigger battery compartment, less overhangs to deal with on printing. more scale detailed nozzels.
