FA18c Legacy Hornet (70mm,90mm)

fa18c_legacy_hornet_70mm_90mm_aircraft_image_1

10.29* I’ve uploaded all fuselage sections for the retract 90mm version in a separate zip.

Its hard to hide my love for the legacy hornet. Truly a multi role fighter/work horse. Perfect blend of utility and beauty. F18's just fly different. When the designers came up with the idea, they knew they needed a maneuverable but also slow flying / high lift airframe. Thats what I feel makes the hornet so special.

This design will come with 3 versions
1. 70mm hand launch
2. 90mm hand launch
3. 90mm retract (freewing retracts)

Mini Delta Fighter 50 and 64mm AAANNNDD 90mm!

mini_delta_fighter_50_and_64mm_aaannndd_90mm_aircraft_image_1

This little guy is NUTS! 50mm power fun on 3s and this thing rocks! it flies slow and fast. You wont believe how fast this is on 3s. And you wont believe how crazy soft this thing lands. The whole just prints in 2 build plates on a 250/250/250 printer and only weights 530 grams.

super compact
24.0" (610mm) long
21.0" (533mm) wide

530g flying weight

Mig 17 (50mm)

After seeing two Mig 17's fly at an airshow and also sitting inside a Mig 15 at a museum. It was obvious I needed to design one. I decided to use a split intake system and have a battery compartment between the air intakes.

The design was a huge surprise. I figured the design would fly like a sport jet and tend to tip stall. This is far from the truth. I now consider this to be a beginner EDF. Its easy to throw and easy to fly in all conditions. It even handles wind really well.

U2 Dragon Lady 50mm

  • It was brought to my attention that the last two wing sections on the left side didn’t fit. I’ve uploaded those sections in the file section

Extremely satisfied and happy with how well this model went during the design process, printing process and the building and flying. Even the CG was dead on for the first throw.

The U2 flies like a trainer but I cant say its a Beginner plane. its long and flies like a glider so you need to know how to judge the landing. The hand launch can be done by almost anyone!

Darkstar twin 40!

*10.4.25 I've redesigned the darkstar for twin 50. Its fully redesigned so its easier to balance. I've also improved the aerodynamics and added a hand launcher. I still think the original is great though.

  • If you already purchased the original darkstar from me this is free! go back into your download area and you will see the "gen 2 twin 50.0" (1270mm).

After getting some feedback from my customers I decided to redesign the whole airframe. I moved the fans so the weight balance will be much easier to obtain a proper CG. The twin 50mm scale also flies much better and less twitchy. Fantastic park flier and the LOOK of this thing in the air is crazy.

A-10 Warthog Twin 64mm Twin 50mm

Oh yes... Mr. Mean is here. The legendary A-10 (Kyle Style) is here. She flies stable and predicable. Can be hand launched if needed but my super simple fixed all printable gear that you really cant see when its flying is recommended. Super fun and exciting to do take offs and landings. I had over 16 take offs and landings on my printable gear and my field is horribly bumpy and chews up gear. Most A-10's ive seen are super squirrley and dont look fun to fly. I've managed to make a very stable variant. You can see from all my flight videos.

SU-34 Fullback twin 50mm

Something special here. Absolutely in love with this jet! it flew fantastic the first throw. Perfect blend of control authority and sharpness. you feel like you have a small amount of thrust vectoring. The build is fun and easy. hand launching is a breeze with a well positioned hand launcher.

JF-17 50mm Jef

Jef flies slow, Jef flies fast, Jef is maneuverable, Jef is fun to fly. :-)

The JF-17 isnt a very well known airframe, or at least by me until recently. I downloaded the JF-17 in my DCS world simulator and I found I really like the way it flies. Its a cross between a F16 and a F18. It has a wonderful blend of the two with the bonus of not cracking the intake when you land like the F16. All around its a great platform and fun to fly.

S3 Viking War Hoover twin 50mm

Iconic carrier jet from Lockheed Martin! This twin 50mm is easily hand launched, floats and doesnt really tip stall under normal flying conditions so you'll fly this with ease. Amazing thing about this design is that its winspan is 47.0" (1194mm) but it easily runs on a 3s twin 50 package! you can absolutely run 4s if you like. Canopy is huge so you can reach everything easily. I designed the nacelles to be slightly above the fuselage so they wont contact the grass during landing. Its a very durable model that can last a very long time.
