Hello CountryFideRob, The FF-18 was made by Jon McCarty of the Bloody Micks and he made the plans long ago. Unfortunately, I do not know of a build video that Jon did, I don't believe he ever made one. Also he did not appear to make plans with all the notes telling what each line means. Some of my plans from the early days, I also did not make build videos for. The FF-18 plan is just posted as another free plan for scratch builders. Lets take a look at the plan he made, and I can try and tell you what each color line means. From the image below, here are what the colors mean: Black line: Straight cut all the way through the Foamboard. Red Dashed Lines on Ailerons: Edge of the 45 Degree Bevel Cut Green Dashed Lines on Ailerons: Center Guideline of 45 Degree Bevel Cut Solid Red Line on Ailerons: Straight Cut all the way through the foamboard. Black Rectangle: Cut Tab Notches for fuselage, belly pan and wing leading edges to fit in. Red Rectangle: Cut tab notches for the Vertical Stabilizers. Green Dashed Lines on Fuselage: Denote 45 Degree Bevel Cut. Red Dashed Lines on Fuselage: Denote Center line of Double 45 Degree Bevel Cut.

Hello Logesh M, I have not used the specific FlySky CT6B transmitter on a simulator, but I have used similar transmitters. You usually need a computer driver to be able to interface with the computer via USB port to the 5-pin transmitter port. FlySky lists a driver for the CT6B at this link: CT6B-DOWNLOADS | Flysky After you have the driver loaded and transmitter connected you will need a compatible Flight Simulator. Not all simulators support all types of transmitters. My first guess would be to try and find the "FMS Flight Simulator" or a simulator called "Clearview". I know Clearview is not free, but is fairly low cost. Both of these are mostly for airplanes. There was a drone simulator I used a while back that was also fairly cheap called FPV Freerider. It was pretty good for basic FPV Drone Simulation. Here is a link to an instructables page that shows you how to setup a similar FlySky radio and simulator.

Logesh M, I have not used Depron in a very long time. Most of us here in the USA are using 5mm Foamboard from DollarTree stores or craft stores. If you are here in the USA you can find Depron on Amazon.com If you are outside the USA you can find 5mm Depron at alibaba alibaba.com/countrysearch/CN/depron-5mm.html

Logesh M, yes you can use 5mm Depron for the FF-Razor or any of the other rcFoamFighter Models. Just note you may have to add a carbon or wood spare to make the wing stronger. Depron is lighter than foamboard but also not as strong.

The FF-Viper-50mm plans have USA Letter size tiled pages. The Plans also include a NON-Tiled sheet at the very end of the plan set. Full size plan is USA Architectural size 24x36 inches, which is close to A1 size.

Here is a video of the FF-117V2 50mm EDF plane flying on a 5S Battery! The Dr. Mad Thrust 50mm EDF is listed for use with a 4S battery, but I decided to push it a bit and try a 5S battery. It definitely gave the plane more power and better flying characteristics. The Amp and watt draw was a little over what the motor is rated at but not by too much. I think as long as I don't constantly stay at full throttle it will be Ok to use the 5S battery. FF-117V2 50mm EDF GPS Speed Run!

Prop diameter is 6 Inches or 152mm,

Logesh M, the prop I used was an APC 6x5 propeller. Depending on motor size and KV used, different propeller size and pitch can also be used. Example, if you use a 2200kv motor, a 6x4 prop can be used. The Prop size is also listed in the plan set (see below picture).

Here is a video of the maiden flight of the new smaller FF-117V2 50mm EDF. This is the final released version and was sized down from a 26-inch wingspan of the original test plans I made a few years ago to a now smaller 24-inch wingspan. Meaning the whole plane was scaled down. So being a little smaller and lighter it should be better suited for the small 50mm EDF. My maiden flight plane below was a little under powered though because i used an old Hobby King Dr. Mad Thrust 50mm EDF. I will be building another 50mm plane soon with a better more powerful 50mm EDF. FF-117V2 50MM MAIDEN FLIGHT

Here is another test flight video of the 70mm FF-117V2. In this video I try 2 1300mah 90C 4S batteries and also try a 5S 2200mah battery that pulled 1800 watts! FF-117V2 70mm EDF 4S and 5S Battery Test Flights

Here is a video of the maiden flight of the 70mm EDF version of the FF-117V2. I will be working on making some finalized plans to publish on this website as time allows. FF-117V2 70mm EDF Maiden Flight!

So, I am back after a long time away from flying. I decided to go back to he FF-117V2 EDF idea and made a 70mm EDF version. The plane was sized up a little more from the original V2 with a 26-inch wingspan to now a 29-inch wingspan. Below are the quick build videos I made.

I found another link to the MESA rcFoamFighters... Looks like they web address changed. Here is a link to the Airplane plans they still have available. https://mesarcfoamfighters.wixsite.com/mesa-rc-copy/aerialplans

Free plans for the FF-Razor are now posted on this website. Plans are located under the Foamboard Planes tab.

All, it appears the above website to MESA rcfoamfighters is no longer active. I will attach the old B-2 pdf plan here. Again, this plan was originally made by our Friend Ken Tanpinco and then he gave the the Students of MESA permission to revise it. Anyway enjoy the plan. Check out Ken's other plane design the FF-21 Blackjack, it is another fun plane to make. that is posted in our Foamboard plane section.

awesome job on the build Rick! I hope your maiden flight goes well. Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Hello zpekef22, I currently do not have any official plane designs made for a long range aircraft yet. I have some ideas and concepts sketched in CAD and in my mid though. I may have to build and make one in the future. What type of long range plane would you like to see? Would you want a flying wing or a more traditional style plane? We do have the very basic plans on this site to the Predator Drone plane designed by my friend Tim McMahan. It is very basic though.

@jzajac007 I clicked on their old web address also and it appears to no longer work. I have not been in contact with Jake Marshal, the teacher who started the original MESA rcFoamFIghters for a little while now. He ended up later working with Flite Test and not us anymore. Also he left the original public school that MESA rcFoamFighters started in and went to a Private school to head a similar program there. I do not know if anyone ever took over and managed the MESA rcFoamFighters website after Jake left the original program.

Wow! Very nice build of the FF-117! I hope it flies great for you! Thank you for sharing your FF-117 RC Plane.

Thank you for the comment grandpawhisnant! Glad to hear the plans worked good for you. I did try to make the tiled plans small enough for our international friends as the paper size used in various countries outside the USA is a little smaller than the Letter Size paper we use here. Also many of th older printers cannot print to the edges. I added the smaller trim border so hopefully everyone can print. Thanks again for your comment and input! Happy Flying!
