Part 6 EPP Park Jet (Free Template Plan)

[Freeflyertemplate]

Looks like a terrible scene well this is a really useful clip for all users.thanks!

[catamaranman333]

I used a 7x3 and a 25c 1800ma battery for a cool 40A / 500w through this same motor. I wish my 50A ESC was as cool afterwards........whats the deal? Shouldn't my ESC be more than enough for the motor? It's got a heat sink and is mounted external right in the propwash. I know the motor is probably turning alot of rpms..... I'm new to this and completely stumped! Someone help!

[bshupejr]

Thanks for the great video series. I am itching to try the thick foam for a build.

A couple of things I was wondering about:

Could you just tunnel out the whole center section of your top fuse piece and then mag a cover for it?

Also, do you think you might be creating excess turbuance and/or drag by using depron for your control surfaces creating a large pocket right at the hinge due to the difference in material thickness?

Thanks again!

how much is it n how fats does it go

BLOOPERS

[nameloc1000]

ummm its a home brew but sorry i dont

[NikolaGnjatovic]

HI!! i build EPP Park Jet and it flys great... but i crash in to a wal at 60mph.. nothing was repereble.. sory about the bag einglish i am from Serbija!

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks NikolaGnjatovic! Good try on your english. Much better than I can do in your language. Sorry to hear your plane hit a wall. Hope your electronics are still good. Great to hear we have RC FoamFighters in Serbia! Keep on Flying!

@dalotel Stay ancient like you dinosaur fuel powered plane. I have seen multiple electrics much faster than your 105mph. The thing is electrics, as far as brushless go are still pretty fresh on the scene. Give them about 5 years and there will be RTF electrics that smoke your sport there, Sport. Plus these guys only have about $150 total in one of these, motor, esc, batteries, rec, servos, and the building supplies try that with a nitro.

[bbjsw10]

@dalotel Also you should see some of there new foam planes. They are doing well over 140 with them in straight level flight.

[nameloc1000]

i fly a rc plane caled the f-22 raptor it did 132 then it went in to the ground and put it this way there was nothing left

[mrsquishiness]

Nice!

[slarmas]

Breaking 100mph is not impressive, what is impressive is breaking 100mph with out the plane becoming a lawn dart :) I

[TheShenmoki]

haha tru that

[nameloc1000]

i have a plane that i made thats called the lawn dart ive pile drived that thing into the ground 100000000 times and it still flys

[obviousman108]

im not sure how i came about watching this video...think i was looking up speeding tickets or something.

quite impressive that you built this from scratch, and to break 100mph? thats awesome!

[BERELEAH]

Hi

Just a little question.

what prop do I need for the park jet?

[rcFoamFighters]

BERELEAH, I used an APC 6x5.5 prop on the EPP park jet. That was with a Grayson Hobbies Super mega Jet brushless motor and 2200mah 3S 30C Lipo.

[fastandfurioustokyo]

that isn't fast. banana hobby has a jet that is bigger and goes 130 mph. by big i mean 64 in long.

[rcFoamFighters]

that sounds Cool, what big plane is it that does 130mph? That would be a cool plane to have. Anyway, i never said this plane was the fastest or anything. Just fast for me. I know there are way faster planes. Hoffman Magnetics makes a cool duct fan capable of 175mph. That would be cool to put on a plane. Anyway, breaking 100mph was cool for me, especially since it is completely scratch built, not stor bought stamped out weak styrofoam. Thanks for watching.

[fastandfurioustokyo]

i liked your video because i can't make a my own plane that can go over 100 mph. or even fly. or even more 1 in. i failed like 5 times tryin to make one.

[floopy09]

did that thing go behind clouds?!?!

[rcFoamFighters]

Haa haa.. No didn't hit the clouds. Fun to fly up hi though.. Thanks for the comment and watching!

[Rechy2]

That thing is awesome!! Good work man!!

[JETProductionsInd]

How does one land this thing?

[AIRJ0RDAN2315]

that was really cool after watching this vid i want one of those planes. Good job keep on making sweet vids.

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks for the comment AIR0JORDAN2315! These planes are a lot of fun and really not too hard to build . We do have free plans for this plane and a couple others on our website, so if you ever want to build one take a look! Anyway, take it easy and thanks for watching and commenting! We appreciate it!

[BERELEAH]

THANX FOR GETTING BACK TOO ME!

i was asking about the cut out cuz im actualy in the middle of my park jet build and i wanna know if i should do the same?

and how much should i cut out?

[rcFoamFighters]

BERELEAH cool you are making your own plane. As for your plane I am not sure all designs kind of very a bit. It will all depend on where your center of gravity lies on the plane. Some planes are ok with the motor way out back. Others, the motor way out there may be to heavy and make it hard to get the CG right. I guess first try and determine where your CG is. Then do a mock up with the parts lying were you think they will go. Adjust till you get the CG right where it should be.

[Azer831]

dammn u guys have done a great job keep it up!!

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks Azer831! We have a few more projects in the works and hoping the come out as good as this one. Thanks again for watching!

[BERELEAH]

Why did you cut into the main wing on the bottom by the motor mount to bring the motor in?

[rcFoamFighters]

BELELEAH, thanks for the comment. I did it to make it easier to balance the plane and i didn't want anything behind the prop for drag. Also I like trying to centralize the mass, it makes a plane handel a little better. Thanks for watching.

[qacermacer]

how do you make your controler get to the right frequency for the servos

[quasiphatpaul]

you need a reciever that matches your controllers broadcast frequency

[BERELEAH]

thanx!!!!!!!!!!

keep it up.

[BERELEAH]

what other motor can i use for this plane other then the mega jet motor???

[rcFoamFighters]

BERELEAH, as it's a scratch build you can use many typess of motors. i would recommend a motor of 300 or more watts. The Super Mega Jet is rated at 400 watts. That and suggest a motor that can turn a 6x5.5 prop or better. As it goes with scratch building, feel free to experiment.

[BERELEAH]

what did you make the front clear window out of???

[rcFoamFighters]

BERELEAH, i got the cockpit a t a local hobby shop. Most Hobby shops carry them.The one on the plane was actually on for an old WWII warbird. I had to trim it down a little with an exacto knife. If you cannot find the clear plastic type you can always carve one out foam and then cover it with black tape. I've made several this way too. Thanks for the comment, good luck!

[BERELEAH]

thanks a lot man!!!

[airlinerdude12]

i bet they get there stuff from Graysonhobby!!!!!!!!!

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks for the comment airlinerdude12. The motor on this plane is from Grayson Hobbies. It is the Grayson Hobbies "Super Mega Jet V2" motor. it is a very good and powerful motor for an affordable price. the rest of the electronics were sourced from different places, servos from a local hobby shop, Turingy 40Amp ESc from HobbyCity online and verious other places. We like to take a look at several sources and pick and choose the best deals and best product accordingly. Thanks again.

Paul

[airlinerdude12]

I LOVE GRAYSONHOBBIES stuff. I have had a .46 conversion for a 80 in super sportster!.

i have had this combo for about 4 months now!!!

[zachnunes123456789]

whats the pitch on that prop?

[rcFoamFighters]

The prop is an APC 6X5.5

[DJPettyv4]

Paul, looks like the changes you made did the trick. The plane seems to handle better and 105 MPH WOW!

Keep up the good work.

DAD

[rcFoamFighters]

Thnaks Dad! yeah, we are having a lot of fun designing, making and flying these things. I have some new planes in the works already. Maybe sometime later I'll have to make an F-8 Crusader like you used to work with when in the Navy. i was thinking of making it with the wing that moves like the real plane. We'll see...

[mpetty0226]

Nice plane Pauly. You did a great job with this one once again. Congrats on the 105 mph as well. Hope your next builds go as good as this one did.Tell Humphrey to get crackin on his new one too. I wanna see another 100 mph speed breaker!

[rcFoamFighters]

Yo Mike-O, thanks for the message man. We need to get you and Chris flying some of these things too! They're a lot of fun. Frank-O is crackin and almost done, he's hoping to maiden flight her tomorrow if the weather is good.

[startazz]

Thats the way to go boys and these planes of yours really do eat up that sky :-) nice one=5*

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks startazz! These planes really are getting fun and fast. We are really haveing a blast making them and sharing the videos with everyone. Thanks again for commenting and watching startazz, we appreciate it!

[Gezelem2002]

Awsome stuff guys !! Keep it up.

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks Gezelem2002! We'll do our best to keep making videos and planes that our viewers enjoy. As alway we appreciate you and our other viewers comments and viewing!

[Rokit1man]

Wow... looks like you have that park jet dialed in good with that kind of speed, 105mph! If the X-45C is a couple ounces lighter than this one with a 40 amp motor and you use a 6X4 prop, then I'm guessing 112 mph. I hope its much faster though. LOL. Way cool.

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks Rokit! Yes I can't wait to see Franks Plane rip through the sky\ too!

[jbs127845]

That thing screams!!

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks JBS! I appreciate your comment and for viewing the video. Please stay tuned, we have more planes in the works already!

[BRANDORC]

i give it six months to a year before you guys are breaking 150mph! Another beautiful plane. Impressive performance.

5 stars!

[rcFoamFighters]

haa haa, Thanks Brando!  I sure we can go faster, I already have some parts lined up... We just now need a better flying field.

[insAneTunA]

I can't wait to see the next videos :-)

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks insAneTunA! The new videos are coming, so please stay tuned to our channel. Thanks again!

[Henal89]

yea and i think you have broke every limit pssible with 100 mph wow i want want im more of af helicopter guy tho

[wildhover]

henal89,

i started off with helicopters but these guys got me hooked on fast foam jets

[Henal89]

yea il always wanted to fly plans but got stuck with helicopters and now i want to bulid my on plane whihc does i think 70 100 too fast for me

[Henal89]

wow amazing well done 100mph thats nice

i also think you lot need to get in to 3D planes as im sure you lot will do an amazing video

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks Henal89! I sure in time we will get to some 3d planes. I think we just need to get the speed bug out of us first, LOL.

[FlyHighRC386]

WOW man talk about success on a epp plane awesome build awesome speed 5/5stars

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks FlyHighRC386! We appreciate your comments and 5 Stars. Can't wait to see some of your guys planes flying too!

[hlbatesjr]

WOW! Great job guys. That thing is fast.

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks hlbatesjr! She is a blast to fly. Thanks for watching!

[m43991]

THATS COOL I want one 5*

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks m43991! Well i just put the free basic plans up on our Blog. See the sidebar for a link. You can build one too if you have the parts and time to make one. Thanks for watching and commenting!

[RCFLIGHTHELP]

WOW , what a plane man !

[rcFoamFighters]

Thanks RCFLIGHTHELP!  Cool, you are the first to comment! Thanks again for watching!
