Most of what I have been collecting is pictures of drawings or finished projects. What I have found is all sorts of paper airplane plans and a few sites and blogs that hint at what they are doing to make, draw, and otherwise change scale model airplane plans into something in the phat plane theme. Unfortunely, I haven't come across an Internet site that offers phat plane plans, other than what sparks is doing. Those of us who are working with thin foam tend to use enlarged paper airplane plans, or reference them to make TFPF and larger projects. The technique is very much like what is done in scale paper airplane model construction with card stock. Once you have a tube of the desired size, it is just a matter of making required cuts and glue the edges together for the fuselage shape you want.
Thicker might be a bit of a challenge, and I posted a Youtube video about how to cold roll thin foam board. You can also use the profile fuselage as a reference and build a thin foam park flyer (TFPF) using many different kinds of foam board that is as thin as 2mm and as thick as 1/4". All you need to do is add curved parts to the profile fuselage.
In the end you will understand if you can draw it, using the Blu-Dart concept of style, you can fly it as long as you keep the basics balanced.Īs a side note, there are a lot of profile pizza box flyers (PBF), Blu-Dart, and "Blu" this or that in RC Groups that are exaggerated profile flyers that could be easily made with a full fuselage in the fattie, fat, phat, and etc. The only catch is he is Chinese, I think, so you may have trouble understanding what he says or prints. There is one guy that seems to do more than the cartoon planes, but he is an excellent starting point. If you go onto Youtube, the phases work there also to find video about cartoon style rc flyers. I have also seen others call theirs phat, phlat, fat, cartoon, and such, which are all good search words to add to the phrase "rc airplane", or "rc plane". He sells plans for a few jets (Sabre, Mig-15) so far and called his "fattie" planes. *Easy Pay financing option is available at Horizon’s sole discretion and terms are subject to change.I see one post about sparks and his creations.
