YF-23 Black Widow in "Five Easy Pieces"
 

Blew my '5EZP" Black Widow up 120% and put her together today.
She is 51" long with a 32" KFm4 wingspan.
I will be using Grayson Hobby's SMJv2 2550kv motor with a 50A ESC and a 7x5 prop flying with a three channel set-up, two servos moving the ailerons and T'V's.

This is the last flight of my previous five easy piece YF-23.
She is 42" long with a 28" wingspan and powered by a 2200kv MJv3 motor.

Looks great Bob! I'm going to move this over to the Pusher Jets forum.

oh, OK. I'm new here. Didn't realize you had a forum specifically for this.
Thanks,

bob

Here are all 10 of my pusher jets (except my F-18E Super Hornet which was not finished at the time) flight moments complied in one video which BTW happened to be my 200th flight video.

I have made your YF-23 and it flys great. I made the bottom fuse 3d though. I also increased the size of the wings slightly to add in my ability to fly. I also put elevators on it. She is fast and very responsive. I am a newbe and it only seems I can fly planes shaped like the F-22, YF-23, and YF-35. I had to dial the elevator down to 35 and the ailerons to 45%. I just finished your 5 easy piece F-22 last night. Hopefully get to maiden her today. Keep those awesome planes coming.

Wonderful. So Glad you like them.
Was that the V1 or v2 F-22?
Would love to see pics and or vids of them.

Bob,

Have you looked at the new MPF? Getting rave reviews.

Yes I have and I want a box of it but can't afford it until my new job starts.

It is the V2 F-22. I just finished your SU-27 :tc:today and got to maiden it tonite. It is as stable if not more than the F-22 and F-23. I painted the F-23, still waiting to figure out how to post pics.:{ I'll figure it out and show how good your planes are in newbe hands. I enjoy your youtube vids too, awesome.:ws:

Awesome.
Thanks.

Here's what the boys at MIT are up to these days.

This is from a guy I know, Mark Massel on LinkedIn. Not an MIT grad, but a former British Areospace Engineer. Start up business. 3 axis gyro stabilization for under $50.00. Plus he's getting ready to release an autopilot system that that will blow Ruby out of the sky.
