OK, there will not be much of a build log (unless someone else writes it) but here are the plans, some pictures and a video of my scratch built 6mm Depron F-35 JSF.

Quick Specs:

• 6mm Depron Construction
• 30" WS
• 2208-1050KV motor (1300KV - 1500KV motor would be ideal)
• 12A ESC
• 8X8 E Prop
• 1300mAh 3S 15C battery
• 2 Servos, elevons with prop wash vectoring paddles

Enjoy.

JSF (5 min 5 sec)

The Ideal prop to use like seen in the pic , is a 8 X 3/8 slow flyer prop. .......... also heres the compartment that will house the 2 cell lipo I am getting soon , one shot of strapped tape in here should secure it well

Thanks for the replies. I am planning to make this plane into STOVL- make the motor vector in an aluminium rod.

Sounds awesome! I'd love to see how that turns out. If you watch the video you can see that the vertical landing part is already taken care of

Hey all did a re-maiden of the f35 good news and bad news , bad news I have to AGAIN rebuild the nose I crashed it , partly it my fault flying it partly the battery wasn't placed right for the CG ......

BUT heres the good news lol ..........I flew the plane with the nose broken OFF until the battery was dead ....it flew great ! lol

I will rebuild the nose tomorrow and probably re-fly it on tuesday or wednesday , this is the 1st thrust vectoring jet I ever really flew if you dont speed into the turn 1/3 or more throttle your screwed lol STALL ......

anyway next nose rebuild I will be fine with it now , THEN I am painting it

This looked like a nice and easy build so I had to give it a try. It went together quick and I took it out to maiden it between the periods of rain. The maiden didn't go to well. I was worried about the size of the vert stabs compaired to the front area. It flew but wouldn't turn right very well. I made new larger vert stabs and tried it agin. It worked much better. It would loop very tight but the roll was very slow. I have added ailerons coupled with the elevons to see if that will give me a roll rate that I like. I havn't tried it with the ailerons yet. The rain wouldn't let up. I will get some video when the weather lets me get out agin. This is going to be a fun plane. Thanks for sharing the plans Birger.

Beautiful job Russ , I use 8x 3/8 prop , it turns nice with 1/3 to half speed , and a 2 cell lipo MAH 1800 , with 40 AMP ESC
