We had a glitch on the Hawk website. If you were unable to download, you should try again. Ed, glad to hear you like the jets. Hope you took the time to make templates of the Mig-29. They are much easier to construct next time with revised templates (no notches to cut). One of our guys is going to m...

The Yardbirds are what we started with and some of our guys are still flying them. Yardbird recommends the use of a larger 400 size motor with a 30amp controller and a 2250mah battery. Not necessary at all, the BP-21 will, and can run down that configuration down. It simply makes the thing too heavy...

I hate tabs too, I usually design them out right from the start when kit building. Just a word of caution, the hardest part of jet designs is getting the CG spot on. With jets one can't just say 25% of the MACD. The CG can and usually is not where expected. The CG on my F-18 isn't even on the wing. ...

I just found this site. Cool planes and they are FREE. http://rc.tomhe.net/fa-18 Some may need to trimmed down or up a little but the designs look to be sound. I downloaded the F-18 and shrunk the wingspan, plane and plans down to a 23 inch WS. I think I will build this out. I hope this helps you gu...

Ed, This is what we are using on these 14 and 15 ounce planes. We use a 1300 or 1350 15C-20C 3 cell which provides plenty of power with a 18amp ESC and a 7060 SF prop. This combo should provide unlimited out of site verticle performance. Providing your plane is not overweight. Recommend 14 to 15 oun...

Ed, I was thinking about your question on rules or if anything goes. I am thinking that the only restraints may be an 18-20amp speed controller and a 7060 prop. Call it "E-Jet 2076" just for grins.[:D] I enjoy designing air frames and then finding ways to improve my designs some work well,...
