Because our last big size Su-30 went so good, we made another big size jet again, this time is F-22 Raptor. With slightly smaller wingspan but with the higher wing area compare to my Su-30. Also with the lighter weight, only about 1 kg, make it even smaller wing loading. It flies really great with 4S 2200mAh Lipo battery, 50A ESC and 10x6 prop. I also put landing gear set to the model and it perfectly take off from a runway, but to able to did that I had to swap the propeller with 8 inch from 10 inch prop, so the prop won't strike the asphalt. I think this model can be converted into EDF model jet, because the space on the body of this model is very spacious.

All started with my friend Hendi, he wanted to build a huge scale of my Piper J Cub plans, 2 meters in wingspan, and then I offered him to build my new RC model design, although I haven't got it ready yet but he agreed, so I made the Cessna L-19 Bird Dog in just one night. I let Hendi to build his huge scale RC plane, the result is stunning with white red color scheme, it's very beautiful. The main material is 5mm Depron foam or foamboard. To add the realism I 3D printed a pilot figure with my new Bambu Lab X-1 Carbon 3D printer, the result is awesome, a very fast printer and still with good quality print result.

When it comes to RC aircraft, size doesn't always dictate the flying experience. Take, for example, the remarkable RC Sukhoi Su-30 model—an impressive creation built with 5mm depron foam. With a wingspan of 1060mm (41.7 inches) and a weight of 1200 grams (2.6 lbs), this RC plane may be big, but it flies like a trainer.

Introducing my latest seaplane model, the PBY Catalina RC Plane! This versatile plane is designed to take off and land on both land and water, thanks to its detachable landing gear. While it may require some additional work to switch between land and water modes, it will fly beautifully either way due to its glider-like wing cube loading of only 4.9. With a wingspan of 2300mm and a flying weight of 3kg, I found it necessary to add extra weight to balance the CG when using 2 3S 2200mah lipo batteries.

This is my second A-10 Warthog RC model, and the first one that I've completed a build video, plans, and decals for. For this build, I used 6mm Depron foam or foamboard or polyfoam. While my first A-10 used a pusher prop motor, I wanted to try using EDFs this time around. However, I've had some bad experiences with EDFs in the past, so I went with 6S that already has a powerful thrust of about 2.5 kg on each unit. But, this came with a higher price tag and more weight. In fact, this is the heaviest model I've ever built, weighing in at 3.6 kg. I also added retractable landing gear and a smoke effect for its gun.
