[stephenfrazer1]

it would be nice to have a tie fighter or bomber please reply rc 101and place make one also thank you

[taoistflyer]

@stephenfrazer1 the Tie fighter interceptor is definitely on the list

[michaelvronsky123]

can you make an F-4 phantom?

if you could with IAF (israeli air force) decals

[taoistflyer]

@michaelvronsky123 I'll put it on the list.

[michaelvronsky123]

I deisgned a mirage 3

[michaelvronsky123]

I made my own Mirage 3 that flies off of a picture in the internet...

[millenniumf1138]

I know it's probably at the limits of aerodynamics, but have you tried designing a TIE Fighter to go with it? The Interceptor variant would probably be stable enough.

[taoistflyer]

@millenniumf1138 that would be really nice if i could get it to fly, it might actually work pretty well if i could get the center section and the wings to provide enough lift as a group to keep it air born, it would be light so it just might work.

I've always wanted an RC TIE Fighter that could hover and fly fast and do aerobatics, maybe some day.

[TheDead199]

r u ever going 2 make the hawker harrier?

[taoistflyer]

@TheDead199 very soon, i just posted the P 51 mustang with a rubber band propeller today.

[rhenz0404]

how come  you already have p 51

can you show us how to do it?

we dont have money to buy the rc planes!

[taoistflyer]

@rhenz0404 That is my next one to be released, sorry it's taken so long but it is on its way.

[MrRelih]

awesome, i would download :D

[z4ppr]

can these be made using printer paper?

[taoistflyer]

@z4ppr yes it is what i usually use since the paint job needs to be printed.

[taoistflyer]

@TheAndreij they are safe downloads scanned on a regular basis, megauploads is a pretty well known respected hosting site

[romhill]

@taoistflyer thanks am will try it

[thetransformer17]

can you try to make a y wing model

[LegoMovieMan44]

Ok um.....Can you try to make the concord?

[LegoMovieMan44]

Ok um.....

[jbiezen]

can you make a b 52 ? and your micros are awesome!!!!!

[taoistflyer]

@jbiezen thank you, I will try

[LegoMovieMan44]

@jbiezen YEA THAT WOULD BE AWESOME!

[jbiezen]

can you make a b 53 ? and your micros are awesome!!!!!

[gb604]

[taoistflyer]

@gb604 I will try

[RandOProdutions]

This is Red 5, I'm going in!

[taoistflyer]

@RandOProdutions copy red 5

[onikiba]

please make a p51 or a p40 one!

[samsung4109]

Love it :0)

[harrisonday1234]

[taoistflyer]

@harrisonday1234 their will be

[ariffdaniel]

that's very cool man....

[taoistflyer]

@ariffdaniel thanks, hope you enjoyed the sukhio t50 and su 37, also my blue angel is an su 27 with the Blue Angel paint job.

[raicho20]

Death star destroyed! :)

[deltaA320]

is this on index card or a regular piece of paper if not what if so PLEASE REPLY BACK!!!!

[taoistflyer]

@deltaA320 I used regular paper nothing special,

This one will glide but it wont loop, the center of gravity is to far back. but it glides nicely.

[93decade]

can you make a jedi star fighter? it would be totally awesome

[SeymourDrayton]

This one would make the happines of my small brother (he's six years old), he is a Star Wars fanatic! :D

Anyway, this technique is fantastic. :) Too bad I haven't tried it yet (argh, my printer is out-of-order)!

[xplanes4u]

Pretty cool!

[ENDY238]

Oh ty a lot man !

Great video and planes!

[ENDY238]

U know what?

I did alot of your planes but yours look plastic , shini and mine look bad

Any advice ?

Please tell me

[taoistflyer]

i printed mine on a laser color printer, that's why they look so shinny.

[legendarysannin65]

you're making great planes! which plane of yours is a very good glider so that it can fly quite for a long time?

[taoistflyer]

P 38 and a 10

[freedomfighter81292]

look like this one is harder to make then ht orther one

[guitarmasterjar1]

ok sure!

[guitarmasterjar1]

please make a mini 747 please!!!

[taoistflyer]

Ok I'll try to make one soon, if i can I'll send you the blueprints to make it.

[deltaA320]

@taoistflyer oh and if u can; can u make a y wing too?

[SilEvo86]

that's cool, do u use regular printing paper? and is it possible to print out bigger scales and still fly?

[taoistflyer]

Just use normal paper if your wingspan is 5 inches or less.

All of the template I have for download are designed to be printed on normal paper.

If you want to scale it up past a 5 inch wingspan then you need to use thicker paper.

if the wing span is over a foot then you would want to use foam. At that size you can start putting servos, receivers, and motors on them pretty easily.

[OSCARITITITO444]

cant you make a boeing 727

[OSCARITITITO444]

but wat tipe of paper are

[dragonrazor123]

Can you throw it straight?

[taoistflyer]

yes

[pedrosoandrew]

i just made a paper F-16 Thunderbird and i will make a video response from one of your video soon.

[2222brandon]

why dont you make the x35

[hydralicninja56]

how to make the rubberband powerd p-51 post it soon

[eldwulf]

That's pretty clever. I like how you did the nose weight. How long did it take for you to get the size of the weight right?

[taoistflyer]

Not to long, it took longer to figure out the best way to do the wings and guns.

I would like it to be able to loop better, but it isn't really that sort of aircraft. The guns and long nose act like a big lever, making it hard to pitch up.

[macrumpton]

@taoistflyer I suppose you could make some clear lifting surfaces out of mylar on the nose to balance the lift better. That seems to work for some RC models pretty well.

[AIWAC]

You need a Death Star.

Genius series, though.

[taoistflyer]

A flying death star would be epic.

[pedrosoandrew]

X-WING has a great capability of flying forward

[biostu]

Hey, taoistflyer, i printed in a diferent paper, and it flies fine. 5 * dude, congratulations....Oh try to maker the Snowspeeder!!!! =D

[biostu]

Please make the snowspeeder, i think it would be easier than the x-wing, plz!!!!!

[biostu]

With normal paper doesn't work, witch kind of paper you use?

[taoistflyer]

I used normal printer paper, it should fly fine.

Don't expect it to do the aerobatic loop though, the center of gravity and flaps are all to far back for that.

The guns and the nose are a little to heavy for it to loop, but it flies straight very well.

At least mine does.

[taoistflyer]

LOL, nope, I'm just a random douche who wanted something that didn't exist so I made it myself.

[biostu]

Good think you dont need to buy it =D

[biostu]

Taoistflyer, you are a genius! thanks for this flying x-wing!!! i loved it..

[Akonftme]

make the cockpit like this /\ it looks more relistic

[ytvman16]

what program do you use to make the planes?

[taoistflyer]

This one is based off pictures of the original x wing toy. I took top down pictures of an x wing toy.

I opened the file in pc paint. then I cut, pasted, rotated, and scaled, the pieces the way I wanted them. It took me a few tries to figure out the best way to construct it easily, this is version 2. Next I print one, fly it, and see how well it works. I usually go back and make refinements to the amount of nose weight or the tail surface area.

it's actually a pretty simple process.

[raindog951]

Probably the first ever flying version of the X-wing.

[taoistflyer]

Not the first but definitely one of the first easy to make paper versions.

Their is another video of a flying paper x wing on youtube, but it doesn't look as realistic as this one, and it takes a lot of folding. Their have been a few rc x wings over the years, as well as an x wing kite.

[CapLAGOS]

very nice fighter! 5/5

[wowpaladin10]

cool
