I just sent the files to RcPowers. I hope they have the time to get them up for sale soon. I am going to sell the .cnc files separate from RcPowers.com on my site asap. Building a website is a lot of work but I am trying to get it up fast. I am also going to be selling this plane as a foam only kit as well as a full kit with the hardware as soon as I figure out the shipping side of things. I smashed the nose up today testing the rearward CG limits and had to build a new nose, this got me thinking I should offer a nose replacement kit also! You can see the video of all the fun from today below.

 

That was music?? :roll:

 

Well you can't fly a jet to the tune of Marry Had a Little Lamb !

 

The .cnc files are now available, here is the link http://www.phlatforum.com/viewtopic.php?f=50&t=263

 

I use a 1500 and a 1800mah 11.1v 25c lipo. I bet you could use a 2100mah but it is going to land faster and need a good arm to launch it!

 

It is music by David Meshow, he is a crazy French guy! I found out about his music through YouTube where he mad facial expressions to that song lol. Anyhow you can get his whole album free at http://www.davidmeshow.com/pages/francaisenglishpag.html great music even though I can't understand the lyrics lol.

 

Regarding Decal sets, if anyone would like custom made Oracal vinyl Decals made, let me know. I can produce them quite cheaply, especially if combined onto a single sheet.

I was just looking at some instrument decals at Noels Hobbies that are selling for $14.95 which is outrageous in my opinion.

I can produce a full 2'x3' sheet of precut high quality Oracal decals for around $10. Small panels of decals such as the blue angels set posted by Mark and Trish for less than a buck.

I am using the Oracal vinyl which is very lightweight material, to cover the entire surface of my foam planes.

 

Ok it has been awhile but the .pdf plans are now up at http://www.rcpowers.com/f-18/f18about.htm I can't thank Dave and Val enough for allowing me to sell my designs at their site!

 

Sweet plane, I hope the weather will be on my side this weekend, sick of the rain
This is a real steal for the $$$$ Attached files

 

Cool man it is nice to see one built! Good luck with the maiden flight!

 

OMG!!! Fast, FAst, FASt, FAST.
It flies like it's on rails and handles very nice (could use more elevator)
It's almost too fast for me but I love it.
With the Graysons super parkjet combo it is more of a rocket than a plane
I only have atm 1350 25C batteries but it does fine on those and am waiting for Hobby King (or whatever they are called this week) to get in some 1800's.

Beautiful plane, it is fast becoming one of my favorites.

 

Cool man glad you like it. If you want more elevator you can slow push the CG back a little at a time, the CG listed is for people to get accustom to how this thing flies and the speed. Just move it back a little at a time. It is fast huh!
