The D-plane is a unique all aluminum delta wing aircraft that first flew in the mid 2000’s as a single seater, they expanded the design to a 2 seater.
As an Aerospace engineer with a heavy background in aircraft structures the Delta wing is one of my favorite configurations due to the simple to achieve strength to weight, flight dynamics and they work at all kinds of Renolds numbers from this small D-Plane all the way up to the Vulcan.
2 previous delta wing aircraft of the month include:
All 6” in width, 1/8” thick and take around an hour to print each on a standard Ender 3 Style machine, newer tech machines like the Bambu would be even quicker.

Great way to get started with rocketry, you know the other hobby where stuff flies beyond airplanes, helicopters, drones etc. :
There’s no thrill quite like launching a model rocket, watching it streak skyward, reach peak altitude, and then return gently to earth. When you build them, the thrill is even better than ever. Thanks to Estes model rocketry, kids can explore the wondrous world of science while experimenting with different combinations of rockets, engines and accessories to better understand how rockets reach outer space.
SKILL LEVEL: The Amazon is an easy-to-assemble, Beginner level rocket with pre-colored parts. The Crossfire ISX is an Intermediate level rocket which will help a budding rocketeer develop some basic model building and finishing skills.
Wood propellers used to be replaced as often as tires and old ones were usually taken home to be transformed into memorabilia, like a clock for example.
Our assortment of early flight artifacts dates back to a time when pioneers conquered the air.
All propellers are sculpted in wood, distressed and finished in an aged, smooth patina.
Fascinating home décor and a continuation of a flight tradition.
The product measures 73.2 L x 5.9 W x 35 H inches.

Geoffrey Siers was a former RAF pilot and engineer for Boeing developed the Barracuda in the 1970’s. Its all wood construction and Geoffrey was inspired by de Havilland Mosquito For those with an EAA membership you can check out all the sport aviation articles online for this aircraft. here is the EAA page on the Barracuda: https://www.eaa.org/eaa/aircraft-building/kits-and-plans/00—c/barracuda According to the EAA web page plans and kits are no longer available but existing projects may be on Barnstormers (www.barnstormers.com), Trade-A-Plane (www.trade-a-plane.com) Not too many videos on YouTube for it due to the development fan fair being decades ago and not too many are built.
Sun-n-Fun in Lakeland has had one on display for decades now:
When I was in EAA chapter 99 (Vero Beach Fl / 04 – 08′) one of the chapter members Ernie was building one, here is a few under construction photos from him:
I could not find any RC options on outerzone but with a good amount of photos of it on the Internet Cad’ding one up would not take too long for someone with the right skills.
With the recent War in Ukraine I was thinking about how the A-10 is still a very relevant and highly effective weapon system. While I’ve worked on several military aircraft the engineering behind the A-10 has always impressed me more than anything I got a chance to work on. It was born from bloody lessons learned in the Vietnam. The design was driven by the needs of the solders on the ground, the aircrews and maintainers. A lot can be learned from this mindset when it comes to military hardware design.
The first flight was in 1972 and it entered service in 1977, the production run was only 8 years with over 700 built.
