Description
Test Pilot : Kostas Koutsionis
The Phantom was designed to accept either :-
- Twin 50mm EDF’s,
- Single 64 / 70mm EDF
- Single pusher.
The 64mm and 70mm EDF versions require 3d printed bifurcated ducts.
The Twin 50mm EDF version can be built with or without 3d printed ducting.
Check out the Build Guide in the tabs above and don’t forget to watch Barry Flemings fantastic build video :-
Kostantinos –
F-4 Phantom one of my favorites planes! this one was just awesome! easy to build her and extremely fan in the air! she flies super scale and you will definitely enjoy it! for my Set up i have used a single 70mm EDF with trust tube (3d printed) ESC is 70A and powered from a 2200mah 4s battery 60C and 3 servos 9g.
My congrats to the awesome Designer and good friend Craig that make us happy to have one of our historic plane that all we are love! Sorry Gentlemen i’ve gotta go my afterburner is on……!!

As soon as my one of my flying partner’s seen it he wanted it so i gifted him the awesome F-4
Power set up – FMS 70mm
4s 2700mAh – 60c (4 mins mixed throttle flight time)
60amp Predator ESC
4x9g MG towerpro servos
AUW without battery 802g
Used all 3D printing options available, done in LW-PLA including working tail hook 🙂
CG is 135 from LE however I was flying it on 140mm (my choice)
Elevator throws +/- 25mm however this was trimmed down in DR to about 18mm
Ailerons started on =/- 16mm again trimmed down to 12mm
the above was depending on what i needed to keep out the trees
rolls very well on axis and loops nice and smooth
Stunning flyer and i need to build another one and keep it for myself 🙂 superb
