This is an update with my progress of my A7 Corsair Ducted fan park jet. In this video I change airfoils, move the ducted fan back and test out a 4 cell li-po battery.

This $10 planes airframe is made entirely of cheap easy to find materials including foam board, BBQ skewers, packing tape, popsicle sticks, 1/16th inch galvanized wire and hot glue. Depron or EPP etc could be used to build this plane but are harder to find and more expensive.

This is a flying scale replica of an A7 Corsair jet that was introduced in the Vietnam War and used primarily by the US NAVY....GO NAVY =). It was a subsonic attack aircraft and one of the first to have a HUD (Heads Up Display).

Electronics specs;
64mm GWS ducted fan
35amp ESC
4300KV brushless inrunner
1300 - 1600mah Li-po battery
4 9 gram servos
4 - 6 channel receiver and transmitter

FREE PDF plans are in the works for this jet. But in the mean time you can build another one of Mikey's RC already completed plans. Just click here to see all the plans you can download for free.

  • I am building one now, and chose to make my A-7 look realistic. It is going to have a round fueslage

  • it may be that theres not enough vertical stabilizer. may add more may help. because you scaled it down, it may not b enough vertical.
