DIY F-15EX Eagle II RC Jet with Ducted Fan

This is the first time I use twin EDF for fighter jet model. This F-15EX Eagle II RC model use twin 70mm EDF for the power plant.
I share all the plans and decal files on my website paper-replika.com, you can find the link to the build instructions page below. This model is simplified but still resemble the scale look of the F-15EX Eagle II on the top side, but the bottom side is very simple so the build process will not too hard. The model was build by my friend Roy with plans from me. The hardest part when building this model is on the nose section. The air intake comes in 2 different angles, so you may choose which one to make. Also the canopy has 2 version too, you can use segmented canopy or 2 piece of mica plastic molding.
2 EDFs makes it have a lot of power, so you need to reinforce all the stabilizers with 5mm carbon tube or fiber rod.

Your builds are getting much better for jets. No more props just pure edf fun.

[@janlepena9060]

this f-15ex build is fantastic work. i've been building with balsa wood from scratch for over 30 years. I just saw your F-15EX video and i loved it...I will start building Foam aircraft your models are fantastic..

[@JuliusPerdana]

Thank you very much!

[@foxywinterfox7575]

I love your work on the F-15EX. I certainly thank you for making this happen.

[@aryogono6338]

Crazy craftmanship especially for the nose section. Gak ngimpi deh bisa ngikutin tutorialnya. Skill level dewa. 😊👍🏾 sayang retractable landing gearnya masalah.

[@walk4718]

The building process is so much refined from your start. Dazzling👍

[@JuliusPerdana]

Very well designed! So many great, and yet simple solutions. The nose section is very innovatively done! It looks easy to build, and this is a well flying affordable fighter that many modellers should be able to fly! Well done!

If you want to use a 3D printed gear struts print them horizontally, not vertically and use ABS or PA ( Nylon )

Mantap om

[@TDPro1]

omhu saran untuk part 3d printednya, kalau misal mau menahan ebban horizontal orientasi objectnya dibikin vertikal, begitu juga sebaliknya.. kalau mau nahan beban vertikal, orientasi object printingnya dibikin horizontal otomatis emnggunakan support dan sejenisnya..

[@JuliusPerdana]

ok terima kasih, saya coba lagi di next model

[@ClipperProductions-he4xh]

Yes! Looks great. Excited for C-17. Will a B-1B Lancer be next?

I would love to see a 70mm f104 as I can no longer buy the Freewing model and there are no detailed foam board plans out there

[@JuliusPerdana]

F-104 already on my list

[@richardjohnholdenra3492]

I wish we could find depron here, I'm a good modellet with wood and fabric for half scale ww1 planes, but no foam here sadly, can younexpoxy the foam? Like 2 pack?

[@pat_aero7848]

Hi Julius. Good work. After modeling an airplane on Blender, and cutting out the parts in depron, how do you manage to take into account the shrinkage of the parts in depron when you heat them with a heatgun for bending the pieces ?

[@JuliusPerdana]

yes I usually make 5mm thickness for parts, but for curved parts I use 4mm, so the former will be bigger

[@sebastianoconsiglio541]

Ciao Julius, puoi fare un tutorial per costruire il piccolo ferro da stiro? Grazie

Hope all is well have seen anything in a while bud.

I like to build the F-4 Phantom according to their blueprint but is going to be a 70mm FMS EDF with 6S 5000a. Where did they get the stickers I'm looking for my phantom after the Phantom Pharewell decor by the German Army.

GOOD MORNING FROM GREECE. HAI JULIUS MY FRIEND. I WANT TO ASK YOU SOMETHINK. I SEE IN YUOR VIDEO RC BOEING 737 800.. IS SOME WHERE THE PLANS? AI MEAN IN PAPER REPLICA. IS SOME WHERE TOO DOWNLOAD THE PLANS?

[@JuliusPerdana]

no plans for 800, but I have 300 series

[@charleshobson4093]

It would be great if the plans had a scale on them to verify if the correct size was printed. I print on 8.5x11 inch paper which is different the A4. If you could send me the actual dimensions of part F8 I could use it to make sure I'm printing the correct size.

[@JuliusPerdana]

Okay I will add scale on next plans, F8 is 1.66 x 5.55 cm

[@charleshobson4093]

Thanks for the help. That info will help me save paper by printing the correct size.

Sir I just wanted to ask that how can I convert 10mm depron into 5mm depron. Actually In my country 5mm depron is not available
