F-15C Strike Eagle G1 - Scratchbuilt Plan
"Fast and Rigid Parkjet"
F-15 has been a legendary Jetfighter for years and Air Force 1 (POTUS Aerial Transport) had been relying on it as the most secure escort jetfighter. Therefore, it's on my list of planes that I'd really want to design. So, after learning many things in designing scratchbuilt parkjets, I began my quest to push my knowledge boundaries to create my own ultimate parkjet, the F-15C Strike Eagle.
Design Phase
Rhinoceros 5.0 for Windows was the primary software to design 2 models: real shape model and rc parkjet model, as pictured below.
The criterias of my own ultimate parkjet should meet some points listed below:
- High stability in slow and fast flying
- High durability and rigidity on some areas, specially belly/intakes, wingplate with ailerons and elevons, as well as vertical stabilizers
- Easy to construct
- High manuverability
- Has to look like a real scale parkjet from the ream F-15 so people will know by a glimpse of its look
Once completed, the design was compared to the real pictures of F-15, side by side, for observation.
Testing Phases
After being tested by my colleagues in UK (Ian Bott) and Jeff Reimer (Canada) as well as myself, we concluded that this F-15C Strike Eagle G1, meets those criterias. And here are some videos from all of us on its maiden flights.

How to get the Plan
The PDF plan is available for a small amount of donation (USD 11.99) which would be used to support underprivileged kids and help less fortunate families to learn how to build scratchbuilt rc planes and try to make a living from it by creating rc plane toys and repairing it.
We encourage you not to share or distribute the plan, individually or publicly as it may not bring support to the teaching activities we conduct for those kids and families. Notes:
