This was a first for me! All I had to go off with this design were a few grainy fuzzy images from the cell phone videos of this "J-36" flying around China. I actually started working on it before i saw the top view. This was a collaboration between myself and Thomas Heuer. I originally got the design to fly and Thomas added some nice detail work and refined the intakes to look more scale.
Lockheed Martin F-104 Starfighter
This design was a rollercoaster. I had to design this twice because the first attempt resulted in a very small airframe where it was virtually uncontrollable. I went back to the drawing board and completely nailed the correct size for the 50mm starfighter. I've heard this airframe is difficult to make fly correctly but to my surprise it flew absolutely docile, smooth, great tracking, easy hand launch and YES it can plop land! Even with those tiny wings it will plop land without a headwind. I've seen other F-104's land into a strong headwind and this doesn't need it.

Stryker twin 40mm FPV platform

This was a blast to design, print, build and FLY FPV! The airframe lends it self to FPV due to the light wing loading and ample space for FPV parts and easy access to the battery bay. It flies very stable like a traditional delta wing and is very easy to build
I've done a video on how to heat form the clear dome for the nose of the Stryker
Concorde twin 30mm

This Concorde was a super challenge to model because of the extreme tight packaging. It was critical to keep the structure super tight and form fitting around the electronics because of the long nature of the aircraft. If i wasnt careful it would easily be too heavy to fly. This bird flew amazing from the first throw! it was a matter of fine tuning the CG to get it dialed.

wow... these Rutan designs are insane. They fly great and look amazing while in the air. Thomas Heuer and my self collaborated on these designs and they look fantastic. We spent a lot of time fine tuning them so they would be easy to build and fly.

Here we have something a little crazy! I wanted to paint this amazing triple delta in green and paint some balls and decorations on the tree but its too cold where i live to spray paint so unfortunately i wasn't able to do it before the release.
Rutan Long EZ

I'm now a total believer in Burt Rutan's design abilities. I've recreated two of his iconic designs and wow. this one fantastic. Great flying airplane in every way. Very minor adjustments needed to make it fly great without the use of an active canard. Its an easy to print/build and cheap to put together.
Airplane specs:
wing span 34"
length 20"
