With the earlier announcement of the Parkflyers International A-10 Thunderbolt II Project, we received many responses and support from many people around the world, encouraging us to finish the project and make the plan available should it comes to the final stage. However, we were even very curious of the upcoming results when bringing the design scale down as an rc parkjet.

We set ourselves to learn from one project to another, trying to bring as much detail and scale looking as possible in to our new parkjet design. With dozens of kept and publicly released designs, the knowledge makes it possible to get our design to the next level of details. We're now confident to start another new ambitious project to have greater fun, with hope to be able to share it with the world.
We completed the project and the F-15 Silent Eagle G2R and all 3 birds flew unbelievably better, beyond our expectations.
Started with our member Jim who placed the idea of having a better F-15 parkjet couple of months ago, and we were immediately got excited about our next F-15 project. We then decided to go for the latest F-15 concept, the Silent Eagle. In the real world, F-15 Silent Eage is the upgraded F-15 design having V-tails signatures and stealth capability. Our F-15 G1 surely made a solid milestone at the time it was released and we hope that we could also have the next level of joy with the new F-15 Silent Eagle.
We are extending huge appreciation for the massive interest during the development phase of the Parkflyers International Grumman F-14D Tomcat G1R-S. The nomenclature is quite long and it added new "S" affix. The "S" would simply an easy code for "Swinging Wing", as this new parkjet design possesses direct drive swinging/retractable wings like the real Tomcat.
Answering tons of enthusiasm of the Eurofighter Typhoon fans (our Eurofighter Typhoon G1E has been the best selling design to date) to have pusher version, we now have finished Eurofighter Typhoon G1R (Rear Mounted Pusher) but with upgrades as well, compares to the EDF version: airfoil wing. This should somehow upgrade the performance of the existing Eurofighter Typhoon G1E, with the benefits from both changes in motor and wing difference.
Through an intensive development that had been involving members and contributors around the globe, Parkflyers International had successfully completed the SU-30SM G3R, a new rear pusher parkjet based on Sukhoi SU-30SM multi-role fighter.
In order to continue the quest for ultimate parkjets, we now have initiated the Boeing F/A-18 Super Hornet G1R project. The abbreviation R, stands for Rear-Mounted-Motor. We continue to use this as we started with G1 (no following letter) nomenclature which explains that it's a mid-mounted motor design, G1E (with E letter) which explains that it's an EDF powered design, and now G1R as rear-mounted motor design.
As we seek ways to learn new things in this hobby, we now initiate the Curtiss P-40 Warhawk project as our next design.
Finally, the Parkflyers International Eurofighter Typhoon G1E Prototype #2 (Indonesia) and #3 (US) had made each successful maiden flight. It's a cheerful joy for us all watching all the same remarkable characteristics shown in both maiden flights.
The following image is the Eurofighter Typhoon G1E Prototype #2, constructed by Bimo. Slowly but sure, it captures its Typhoon shape and hopefully would be ready for its maiden flight.
Jeff finally, flew the very first of Parkflyers International G1E (E nomenclature stands for EDF) Prototype 1, eventhough the wind wasn't suitable for a maiden flight. This is our first ground up EDF parkjet, which inherits our design DNA: scale lines in score-n-fold.
Jeff is ready with his Eurofighter Typhoon G1E, and will have its maiden flight at anytime.
We're all very excited that the Eurofighter Typhoon EDF Scratchbuilt Design, has entered its pre-final stage. The layout has been successfully generated.
A period of 15 months of learning, designing and releasing parkjet designs with mid mounted motor, has been delivering us joy we've never experienced before. Specially our latest design, the SU-35 G2, which brought us excitements of experiencing the flight envelope of a storebought rc plane yet it maintains its agility compares to the rest of our mid mounted motor designs.
