Paul, going back a while I tried my best to get this one to fly. All I could manage was a rotation to the left and a nose in, crunch. Attempt, rebuild, attempt, rebuild. I had the motor square to the C/L and wing, it just wouldn't fly. My bad. Yours flies fantastic. I'll be making another in the future, never give up.
Hello Frank, sorry to hear of the nose crunch on the maiden flight attempts. It sounds like possibly you are having some torque roll to the left. At the low speed while launching the torque of the motor can make it roll over. For your next attempt, try and add a little preprogrammed aileron trim to the right. Also I usually add in some extra up elevator reflex (trim) on my maiden flights to make sure it does not nose dive on launch. After you get it flying you can adjust the trims as needed. Last try and launch it at a little higher angle if you can so hopefully it gives you an extra second to react to how it flies on take off. Not sure if this will help, but hope you have success in getting it to fly. Once you get the FF-117V2 dialed in it flies really good. Let me know how it goes, good luck!
Thanks Luis! Let me know how your build goes when you get time for it. Also just a note i am finishing up the Viper jet plans too... Hopefully in a week or two.
Thank you Jose! I really like the looks of this one too compared to my original FF-117. Now i just need the weather to warm up so I can go out to fly it.
Thank you Eagle Eye. We should be back for more videos now. Frank and i were both distracted a while with drones, work and other stuff. We are hoping to do a bunch more RC plane videos in the coming year.
Hello i am excited watching rc plane builds and want to try build my own rc. I particularly like that model and the slik and fine finish of your work. Thus i want to replicate it. Is that foam board the so called depron sheets and what thickness is suggested? Is there a link that provides all the technical and material specs? Thank you
Wish I had found your site earlier! I bought your plans and I'm currently about 85% done with the build. I was just thinking to myself if it would be possible to turn this from a 2 channel bank and yank to a 3 channel with rudder control. Did you ever think about adding another 2 servos on for rudder control or know of anyone that tried this with your design?
Hello, I have a question, since I bought your plan, I wanted to know if the thickness of the foam board of all the parts is the same? and how thick is it? Greetings from Peru
Daniel the Foamboard available in the USA is usually 3/16 of an inch or about 5mm thick. All parts are the same thickness. I have seen people from around the world also build the plane with 6mm thick Depron foam and 6mm thick Cloroplast type board. Some have even used balsa wood. All of these should work fine, the only thing you may need to do if using a different thickness is make sure the tab slots are cut as thick as needed.
John send me an email to admin@rcfoamfighters.com so I have your email address to discuss what you need, then we can see what we can do. I should be able to size the plans to a 40-inch wingspan.
@@rcFoamFighters Hi Paul, just found the Depron world of foam planes, wish I had found your site earlier. Love your work, beautifully presented plans, instructions and videos. You guys stand out in the crowd. Did you ever upscale the F117 to 40"? If so, Id be pleased for a link to the plans. Just subscribed. Keep up the great work, inspirational for our hobby. Merry Christmas from W.Australia
Daniel, the original plane was made with a Grayson hobby super mega jet. I do have some basic links on our website at this link: www.rcfoamfighters.net/recommended-parts You can also go straight to Grayson hobby's website. graysonhobby.com/drone-airplane-electronics/brushless-motors/graysonhobby-brushless-motors.html

One man who inspired me when i first time know RC plane
Thanks for the comment spetnazer!
This design is outstanding Paul! Printed the plans today and it will be built before spring. Thank you for all you do!
Thanks Luis! Let me know how your build goes when you get time for it. Also just a note i am finishing up the Viper jet plans too... Hopefully in a week or two.
Yeah! You guy's started the foamboard crazy. I've made so many Skyfighter V2's. Still my favorite foamboard pusher. Great for FPV too.
how big are the foam boards meant to be,like the 3 foam boards he used in the videoe.g A1, A2....
glad to see you back after so many years.
Thanks gastarbieter, we are planning to more videos in 2018.
Glad to see you back, Paul! 👍😎
Mine flys great. Thanks for the plans.
Thanks for the comment NOX FPV! Cool, Glad to hear yours flys great!
Nice job and even better looking model!! Congrats to You! Happy to see your videos/ models again.
Thank you Jose! I really like the looks of this one too compared to my original FF-117. Now i just need the weather to warm up so I can go out to fly it.
Glad you’re back. I thought you gave up on this.

Great design guys! Got the prints guys thanks. One project to finish first then the FF-117V2.
Thanks Gregg, let us know how your FF-117V2 turns out when you get around to building it!
Merry Christmas
And thank you
Show how the cuts and gluing are done, don’t just tell.
Nice
This crazy bro ❤
very nice-great /thanks much
Thank you!
Nice video, can someone name/list the electronics recommended? (Servos, ESC, Battery, Radio Control, etc)
I wanted to see the b-2 Spirit plan
very nice but i wish you sold it in a pre cut kit. i would buy one.

I need advice on the most cost effective (not cheap but not breaking the bank) radio to use for this plane. Help!

Disculpe el costo de los planos es 6 pero que dólares? Pesos mexicanos? Euros? Me podría resolver esa duda gracias
Great looking F117 Paul. Is it possible to purchase plans from you, but I am looking for a F117 with a ws of about 40 inches
John send me an email to admin@rcfoamfighters.com so I have your email address to discuss what you need, then we can see what we can do. I should be able to size the plans to a 40-inch wingspan.

Can you print seperate peices on an a3 printer
Bellissimo
can you get me the video of eurofighter typhoon model making
Hi nice video!
Bro we need THE drawing of the plane.
@rcFoamFighters are there links to the motors, servos and recommended materials?

what is base wood and where do you get it?
F117 plan
And you forgot to say the cost is 6.00 for not saying it it’s should be free
