This is the biggest RC model plane that I ever build and fly. The wingspan is 3000mm or almost 10ft. Use almost entirely 5mm foam board as the build material. In this video also the first time I made propeller spinners with 3D printer, and make foam wheels and firewall with laser cutter. I use Creality Ender-3 V2 Neo for 3D printer and 10W CR-Laser Module to convert Ender Printer into laser engraver and cutter. Those tools help me alot and I got best results. I also 3D print some of detail parts.

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.
