Plan for RC F-35A plywood kit 3D model

Please read first below before you purchase.

1. This is plan for a RC model airplane. This is not exact copy of real jet airplane.
2. The license policy was updated_ 2022 02 28
3. This product can only be sold on CG trader by me. You should not re-sell or distribute downloaded copies of these plans (or drawings) to the general public in digital or physical form.

Specification Wing span:~1m, Length:~1.45m, EDF size: 90mm ~105mm (or turbine). Flying weight(include battery, esc, EDF): 4~6 KG.
Thrust: at least 0.8 of Thrust/Weight ratio (ie. 5Kg model need 4.0Kgf of thrust) is recommended. Airfoil: optimized for low reynolds number(500,000), Wash out angle: ~4 degree. Take off speed: 12m/s(4kg model) 15m/s(6kg model). Max angle of attack: 25degree(without slat) or more than 40degree(with slat.)

All parts was proven to fit together by actual assembly. All wing and stabilizer parts has assembly tab for exact alignment.

This package includes:

1. DXF files for Laser cutting (laser cutting ready)
2. PDF files for floor plan
3. STL files for 3d printable inlet duct(3D printing ready) and cheater hole(optional)
4. STL files for Canopy mold (for making canopy with epoxy+fiverglass)

Tips for assembly

1. LE slat (or LE flap) feature is experimental. I do not recommend for you to use slat (or LE flap) feature. Because it is very difficult to make them properly work and the using this feature will make airplane heavier. You can Just glue the LE slat parts to wing core(wing box)
2. First, print the inlet duct and assemble it with other plywood parts. Otherwise, you will have to do some surgery to implant the inlet duct.
3. The inlet parts were updated for maximum efficiency of airflow and you need to cut a little bit of the inside portion of FW parts to fit the new inlet parts.
4. 3mm carbon rods is not necessary.
5. There are some reports that the holes for square carbon rods are little bit small. You can avoid this problems by sanding the square holes and make them larger before you assemble them.
6. When you scale up this drawing or plan you should keep in mind that the holes for carbon rods also will expand.

I hope you have a great time during the assembly of this airplane. best regards.
