We just checked in on the stats from last month and we have some shake up in the most popular downloads on Parkjets. We never know what will be popular, and have some theories about why plans bounce around a little. But really, we have no idea. One thing we do know is that Jamie Rothwell designs are very popular! Let's get to the list.

NEW PLAN - SU-37/27
New Plans
Last week we uploaded a new plan to our FREE plans page. Jamie Rothwell let us know he has made some modifications and some size adjustments to his very popular SU-37 plans.
First, he shrunk the plans to 80% of the original size. Then he cleaned up the plans, improved the canopy, nacels and some other minor tweeks. Then he changed the plans to allow for a simple modification so that the builder could convert the plans to the SU-27 with a little effort.

NEW PLAN - F4F WILDCAT

Jamie Rothwell, the designer of the great Alpha Jet and the excellent F-15, sent us over for his intrepretation of the mighty F4F Wildcat. Using many of his techniques, including semi-scale with simplicity, Jamie as provided an excellent plan for an RC F4F Wildcat.
NEW PLAN-F-15 EAGLE
New Plans
The designer of the awesome Alpha Jet, Jamie Rothwell, sent us his take on the popular F-15 Eagle. One of the best platforms for parkflying, the F-15 by Jamie Rothwell features a semi-scale look and a mid-mounted prop with a full fuse nose design that takes simple design to the next level of scale looks. A very smooth flyer and very simple to set up with two servos and elevons, the F-15 is an excellent choice if you are looking for a quick build and excellent flying.
