I recently bought a new TX radio ( TURNIGY 9x Pro ) from Hobby King.
I uploaded the files/manuals that came into the micro SD card seating into the transmitter ....Continue Reading

This will be my winter project.

It's a wing pusher with a V tail and a mid motor mounted.
It will have a shaft extension prop to make it easier to balance HOPE .

P.S.: for those interested I added the zipped file of the model for the RCDP simulator.

I found this little glider into a french fries package, so I decided to make a plan for it.

Franky

I found this free plan on parkflyer magazine and realized the model for the RCDP. I mod it to be used as a seaplane.

Still waiting for the pond in RD Desk Pilot simulator. Davy (the author) promised the future release with the next update.


Hope you enjoy it.
Let me know what you think of it.

Cheers.

Franky

This is one more model for the RCDP simulator.

Franky

This is a beauty model designed by Todd Long. A while back I downloaded the plan from RC MicroFlight magazine. Now it is hard to find on the web.

There are two versions for this indoor/park flier, the conventional and the V tail.

Cheers.

These are most of the tables, and charts I usually use to build my planes. There are some articles too.
Most of them come from browsing the web, I'm not the author.
They were on my hard disk. At the moment I cannot find their link.
Credit goes to their authors.
From time to time I'll update the list.

This is one of the most cool thing I've ever seen.

I just realized this model to practice whit RCDP simulator.

Happy flying and building.

The Hydro PEPSI by Frankyfly for RC Desk Pilot simulator..wmv (1 min 34 sec)

I have modeled these two famous hydro planes for RCDP from plans coming from the scratch builder forum.
They are both good flyers. The hydro PIZZA looks like more tame.

A lot of good info here about the GPW hydro PIZZA. Plans are here.

This is the thread for the Leadefeather's AQUARIUS.


If you want, give them a try, and let me know what you like most.

Here are few of the planes designed by CHARA.

I made them for RC Desk Pilot simulator.

They all fly superb.

1) CHARA TBC (TWIN BOOM CUTIE).





2) CHARA Canard Concept Voyager.





3) CHARA Bipie.

Your suggestions are well come.

For my last MINIMALIST BIPE I built the VANESSA machine to locate its CoG.

This tool is easy to make. If you cannot use the toss test mode to balance your model this handy tool will solve the problem.

Here is the LinK http://home.mindspring.com/~the-plum...%20Machine.htm to build you own.

Franky

Here it is my complete happy pilot ...
