I'm Eric — I scratch-build RC planes on YouTube. This site is where the videos turn into something you can actually copy: exact plans, matched electronics, wiring diagrams, and the precise parts to order — plus free tools that design the whole plane for you.

Three ways in. Everything else on the site feeds one of them.
Follow one proven beginner plane end to end — plans, exact parts, wiring, setup, and first flight. The complete guide, nothing left out.
Start the build → Path 2Saw a plane on the channel and want to build it? Every project has the dimensions, electronics, and a parts list you can order tonight.
Browse the builds → Path 3Designing your own? Answer a few questions and get a matched motor, ESC, battery, prop, and servo set that actually work together.
Match my parts →The simple foam-board plane from my most-watched video is the one I put every beginner on. The write-up is the whole build in one place:
Full write-ups with specs, electronics, and parts lists — not just a video.
Design the airplane, choose compatible electronics, wire it correctly, check the setup, diagnose problems, and document the finished build. Six connected steps, plus a specialist LED Compatibility Checker — free, no login.
Motors, ESCs, batteries, props, servos, glue, tools, and the beginner planes I recommend — each with what it's best for, what it fits, and its limits. Recommendations include equipment I use personally and clearly identified alternatives selected for a specific type of build. Always verify compatibility with your aircraft before ordering.
My Wi-Fi LED controller runs navigation lights, strobes, and underglow from any phone browser — no app, no spare transmitter channels. Built-in lighting templates plus fully customizable effects for any 12V WS2815 build. Assembled and tested by hand.
A curated gallery of planes built from my designs and write-ups. Finished one? Send it in — I feature reader builds, and every submission is reviewed before it goes up.
I scratch-build foam planes, a glowing hovercraft, and custom electronics — tested at night, in snow, and occasionally into the ground. Recommendations are based on my own equipment, the needs of the build, and clearly labeled alternatives, and I keep the links current so you never land on something you can't get. Some links earn a small commission at no cost to you — that's what keeps the tools free.
Join the list and I'll send the free one-page starter checklist — what to buy, how to set up, and the preflight that saves your maiden — plus new build plans and tools as they land. No spam, unsubscribe anytime.
