Hello everyone, I just wanted to make a discussion category for light sub 250 gram RC Planes. If anyone has any fun designs, questions or comments about sub 250 gram RC Planes please post them here. I know this class of RC plane may not need the FAA remote ID module attached depending on where you are flying, etc. What are your thoughts on this? I recently just made my first scratch build sub 250 gram RC plane, the FF-Razor. I will soon be adding free plans for this plane to the website as soon as finish adding the notes to the drawings. Here is the video I made about the plane. FF-Razor (Sub 250gm RC Plane)

My first scratch built foamboard build and I chose Paul's F-117V2. My only foamboard experience has been with building kits from Flite Test. I bought some sort of black generic foamboard from Hobby Lobby because that was all they had. The foam is much denser and heavier than what I'm used to. It's also very rigid and impossible to shape. Anyway say hello to "Miss America". 738g w/ 2200kv motor, 6x4.5 prop., 50A ECS, 9g servos, and 3S 2200mah Lipo. I hope she actually flies and I won't have to rename her "Miss Piggy"

I am building the FF-117V2 but currently do not have a radio for it. I want a decent radio that will work for this plane but also don't want to spend a fortune. Any recommendations on something decent (not junk) that I should look at for this model? So, many to choose from but I just don't know enough to make sure I am getting what I need without buying MORE than I need. Thanks!!!
