In an upcoming series of videos, I'm going to show you how to build your own nitro-powered parkflier-sized RC model plane.

Pulling mine along will be a brand new Cox BabyBee and I encourage you to use the same engine on yours. These engines are now in production again and can be purchased from Cox International...

or you can buy a second hand one from eBay or at your club's next swap-meet; that's if you don't already have one in a box or a drawer somewhere.

But now I need your help. I want viewers to tell me exactly what type of plane I should design and build.

Do you want a WW2 fighter like the Spitfire or Mustang? How about a contemporary jet fighter like the F15 or F22?

Maybe something more traditional such as an Extra 330 or a Yak 54?

Have your say in the comments and I'll go with the one which gets the most mentions.

  • Where can you get coreflute from???

  • @SuperPianowizard Usually from a signwriting company -- it's commonly used for real-estate signs.

  • I've gone with a biplane, since this was the single most-requested type of model. I've just posted a video showing the finished model and should have a flight video and build video up in a few days.

  • has the Turnigy voltage booster proven to work well? how many minutes will it run the receiver/servos with your little 1S lipo?

  • @taurustbolt I don't know -- I will find out. But as an experiment, I tried the FrSky 4-channel receiver and HXT900 servos on a 1S lipo without the booster and they work very well. Woohoo!

see all
