Here is a collection of some of my RC planes and quadcopters and other flying things.

2023 ArduPlane project
This is the evolution of my 2020 ArduPlane project. A new and improved custom-built autonomous airplane using the ArduPilot firmware.

Bush Beast 4
My latest RC bushPlane. Built during the spring of 2021. Similar to the BushBeast3, but better.

2020 ArduPlane project
This is an airplane I built to experiment with the ArduPilot/ArduPlane firmware. A plane built to experiment with autonomous flight including autonomous takeoffs and landings.

Bush Beast 3
A custom bush plane built from balsa wood. Built 2019. A few special features include 3D-printed landing gear with suspension and custom electronics to control gyro stabilization, servo mixing, and LED lights.

3D printed quadcopters
The page about my 3D printed quadcopter frames with carbon-fiber motor arms. A CAD and 3D printing project.

Stik Pusher
A small airplane I have designed for indoor flying. It is made to be easy to fly, durable, and fast to build.

APM quadcopter
Built 2014. This quadcopter is basically a second version of the hexacopter. I used fuselage from the hexacopter and built a new frame for four motors instead.

The Hexacopter
Built 2013. After flying my quadcopter for six months, I have learned a lot of things, now I will start building my next multirotor using my experience from the quad. This was also my first time testing the ArduPilot software running on an old APM board.

Reverb
This is a fiberglass glider/hotliner/warmliner from HobbyKing called “Reverb”. I usually design and build my airplanes myself, but this is an ARF.

Skyracer 4.5
A small, lightweight fast plane. This is a new version of the Skyracer 3.5 with a larger wing. The goal of this experiment was to give the Skyracer a bigger speed envelope.

My first Quadcopter
Multirotors have been a growing part of the RC hobby for a while now. I wanted to build my own in a way that makes it stand out from other multirotors.

BushBeast
BushBeast is a combination of an aerobatic airplane and a bush flyer. I designed and built it in the summer of 2009. BushBeast has large control surfaces, a powerful motor and large pneumatic tires. It is also equipped with some homemade electronics and gyros to stabilize the airplane in flight.

Autogyro
An autogyro is a combination of an airplane and a helicopter. It has a rotor generating lift like a helicopter, and it is driven forward by a normal propeller, like an airplane. This homebuilt autogyro is the result of a lot of testing and development. It is equipped with an electric pre-rotator to spin up the main rotor before takeoff.

Vanishing Point
Vanishing Point is a fast, aerodynamically shaped twin-boom pusher complete with a homebuilt gyro stabilization system with a working pitot tube.

Skyracer 3.5
Skyracer 3.5 is fast, maneuverable, lightweight, and portable. One of the best features of this little airplane is that it is almost independent of the wind due to the small surface arias and its speed.

UnderCover
UnderCover is my own design of a little aerobatic foamie plane. Inspired by the “Extra” and similar.
