F-35 profile

This is a relatively simple to build plane. Because it is a profile plane. Meaning.. its not a full scale body. Just a 3-plan view put together to look 3-dimensional but it's not. It's advantages is that it could be built quickly at a low cost. Around 90% of the total cost would on the electronics.

I've decided to build one F-35 and paint it hello kitty scheme! Its extreamly light weight at the end of the built. I've use 6mm depron sheets to built the entire plane.

Powered by a 350watts motor, it have enough thrust to do vertical climbs and mild aerobactics. Don't be too rough on this lady here or she'll break in the air! (i've seen one of my friend's plane got destoryed mid air while plunging down to earth at high speeds)

The best part of this plane is, if it breaks, just build another in no time at all! The electronics could be transferred over quickly.

Here are somepictures of the F-35 profile version.

Hello kitty paint scheme!




Heres me with my F-35



And of course my friends who flies other types of profile jets like the F-22, Mig29, Su-35
