TOP 10 PLANS - FEBRUARY

It's hard to believe its already spring time.  Hopefully you had a chance to get your winter projects finished and are preparing to get them up and flying soon. 

And since it's the beginning of the month, it's also time to let you know what plans are the most popular on Parkjets.  Let's get started.

10. T-28 Trojan: The T-28 Trojan is a new plan to Parkjets and is already gaining popularity.  A traditional tractor set up, military style, plus 3D capabilities and you have a winner.  

9. SuperSlo28: Like the T-28, the SuperSlo 28 is from SDParkflyers.com and is primarily designed for 3D flying but is perfectly at home motoring around the park.  A great simple design means you can get up and running right away. 

8. SU-31: A great design by Tomas Hellberg, the SU-31 is a tractor set up, but has some great stylings.  Simple profile warbirds are common.  The SU-31 is not.  Want something a little different, this one might work well for you. 

7. SU-37 by Jamie Rothwell: Like most of Mr. Rothwell's designs, his score and fold method means you get a semi-scale full fuselage with minimim effort.  And the SU-37 is a great looking plane too, with large wing surfaces, you will get a nice flyer.  

6. F-35 by RC Cal: The F-35 might be one of the most perfect parkjet designs.  Large wings, big control surfaces and great modern looks.  Pair this with a standard motor and yours will get up and flying in no time (unlike the real thing). 

5. Hydro: This boat/airplane combo is still popular after all these years.  If you are looking for something a little different, check out the Hydro, available in EDF too!

4. Cutlass: The Cutlass is SDParkflyer's third entry onto this list and is fits nicely into the Parkjet free plans catalog.  Slick lines, big wings and fast performace make the Cutlass a winner. 

3. Eurofighter by Jamie Rothwell: Score and fold, paint and fly.  The Eurofigher by Jamie Rothwell is an excellent flyer.  There is a reason its popular. 

2. F-15 by Jamie Rothwell: There is a reason his models are sticking on the Top 10 list.  The F-15 is an iconic airplane that has been a staple of the U.S. fleet for decades.  If you want to add an F-15 to your fleet, consider this design. 

1. F-22 by Steve Shumate: Holding off the competition again, the F-22 is still on the top of the pile, dominating all comers.  Super scale thrust vectoring all wrapped up in a design that is just awesome to look at in the air.

TWO NEW PLANS - T-28 & SUPERSLO28

As January creeps to a end, we added two more plans for you to enjoy.  And like the Cutlass added last week, we dipped into SD Parkflyer's pool of excellent plans.  And in an effort to really expand our offerings, we are looking to add some plans that have not been invited to reside on parkjets in the past, namely some 3D flyers, warbirds, and we are looking for some more EDF plans as well.  To wrap up January, we have some excellent 3D style park flyers up for your enjoyments.

Let's get started....

First up is the Superslo28 3d style park flyer.  The Superslo is an EPP flyer and is designed for 3D flying but with a balanced center of gravity, enjoys puttering around the park as well.  This model is light weight, powered by inexpensive power gear, and performs great.  And because the whole thing is made of out EPP, its very forgiving. We would recommend going with EPP if you are new to 3D flying and then you can transition to a more finishable material like Depron.  Either way you go, the SuperSlo28 won't disappoint.  

The second plan we added is the excellent and popular T-28 Trojan.  Like the SuperSlo28, the Trojan is suited for 3D flight but also is at home looking like the warbird trainer that it is.  If you want a 3D plane that still has a little military look to it, the T-28 is a great choice.  And like the SuperSlo, the plan is set for 9mm EPP but with some adjustments you could accomadate just about any thickness foam.

Additionlly, we encourage you to visit SDParkflyers.com and check out all the plans (paid plans available) and if you need some power gear for these designs, see what he has to offer.  SDParkflyers has great YouTube videos as well, telling you just about everything you need to know to get your SuperSlo28 or T-28 off the ground.   

NEW PLAN - CUTLASS

A few months ago, we got permission from SD Parkflyers to post his free plans to our site and although it has been a long time coming, we kicked off the postings by throwing up his awesome Cutlass park flyer.  

The Cutlass features a funjet style design, with a large delta wing and twin vertical stabalizers. The design is for 9mm EPP foam, which as you might know, is a lot for forgiving when crashing. But with some modifications, the Cutlass could be accomadated for 6mm Depron or other types of foam board.  

The designer recommends keeping it light, using small electronics to power it so that its a real floater and easy park flyer.  We encourge you to experiment.  

So check out the Cutlass, a little different material (EPP) but the same results, easy build and lots of fun.
