Here is the next creation from Let's Fly RC. Check out my website, still under construction at LetsFlyRC.com for more great planes and multirotors to come.
The LF - X-41 is an awesome design originally designed by T3chdad on the RC Groups forums. He has a great website at t3chdad.com that has his many versions described in detail. I hope that this conversion to DTFB makes it easier for everyone to build a great looking design. I absolutely love this plane, and it flies great, fast, or slow. I have two setups that I will link in this article, the fast setup that is stable, and flies great, and the crazy, supersonic setup that flies wicked fast.
I am still working on moving canards, and will post updates once I have flight information, and a repeatable design. I have a working prototype, and plan on testing it soon. This plane will be available as a speed build kit, and the kit will include canards that can be made stationary, or moving.
I have both the T-28 Trojan and the X-41 available to purchase on ebay for now:
Trojan - Ebay:
X-41 - Ebay:
Maiden Flight:
During the maiden flight, I learned that is is extremely important to have straight wings on this model.
Fast Performance Flight:
This flight showed me the true capability of this plane, and made me truly love it.
Build Video:
The Plans will be available for free at the bottom of this article.
The LF-X-41 is made to be compatible with the simple series firewall and follow the build techniques from FliteTest. The canards add to the stability of the plane, and can give a unique flying style if you decide to make them movable canards.
I hope you enjoyed this article, and I really hope you build one of these planes. It will be an experience you will not forget.
As promised - Free Plans.
X-41 - Plans - Newest Version is in PDF form
