Suppose you need to generate a 2D airfoil. I'll show you how to with this FREE program. See the links below. Template Generator: http://www.rc-soar.com/har. Paste the dat file data into a form and the airfoil will be available to use in the drop down menus. There are many sources of airfoil data or the sections can be generated using tools. Currently the airfoils are only stored in your browser session and will need to be added when the browser is re-opened NACA 4 digit airfoil generator.
- Was designed for human-powered aircraft. Unusual airfoil design constraints can sometimes arise, leading to some unconventional shapes. The airfoil here was designed for an ultralight sailplane requiring very high maximum lift coefficients with small pitching moments at high speed. One possible solution: a variable geometry airfoil with flexible.
- Airfoil plotter (clarky-il) CLARK Y AIRFOIL - CLARK Y airfoil. Plot and print the shape of an airfoil (aerofoil) for your specific chord width and transformation. The dat file data can either be loaded from the airfoil databaseor your own airfoils which can be entered hereand they will appear in the list of airfoils in the form below.
- UIUC Airfoil Coordinates Database. Included below are coordinates for nearly 1,600 airfoils (Version 2.0). The UIUC Airfoil Data Site gives some background on the database. The airfoils are listed alphabetically by the airfoil filename (which is usually close to the airfoil name).
- Lefish Airfoil Templates. The original drawings of the Lefish airfoils being the Mg-05 at 60' W/S. The Mg-05 airfoil templates can be drawn to scale at the 9.35' and 6' due to the shape of the airfoil to accomodate the trimoff for the 2' ailerons/flaperons for the 60'. The SBV96V and SBV96VS cannot be made to scale size because.
These free RC aircraft plans are generally more suitable for intermediate to advanced RC modelers. The aircraft often require more individual components and complex construction, but they result in more realistic scale models. A few more basic plans, such as simple foamies, might be included in some of these collections. (First-time builders may want to try these less complex, easy-build airplane plans.)
Some plans are in PDF format, requiring Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be downloaded for free. Others are available only in CAD formats such as DWG or DXF. You may need to download another free viewer to view and print some of those.
The following are a few of the websites that carry these intermediate to advanced do-it-yourself RC model airplane plans:
Ultralight Aircraft Airfoils
Hilbren
There are dozens of model plans here, listed in alphabetical order. As you pass your mouse over each link, a thumbnail image will pop up, showing you either a rendering of the plan or of the finished plane. Some have photos of the completed craft. These plans are in dwg.zip format, and include several dozen drawings of varying complexity from many different model builders.
Aerofred
There are dozens of plans available on this site, most all in downloadable PDF format. Some are for entire planes, others for RC aircraft components. You need to be a logged-in member to download the plans, but that's quick, easy, and free to do. And it's worth it. There are some really cool plans for the advanced modeler here, including the Avia B-534, a Czechoslovakian fighter plane, and New England modeling legend Harvey Thomasian's Half Wave from 1964. You can also order some 3-D printed kits as well.
Profili 2
Enthusiasts will love how easy it is to find what they're looking for at this site. Just plug in your parameters—which include dimension, engine, model, control style, format, and even the name of the craft—and then download your pick. There are over hundred plans for RC craft alone, from micro to full-sized.

The Planspage
Whether you want to fly a plane or control a boat on the water, this page has dozens of downloadable plans for building your own radio-controlled vehicle. Plans may be in DXF or PDF formats. Some of the specific aircraft include a MIG 21, a P 51 D Mustang, and an A 7 Corsair 'SLUF.'
Willingtons
This page features dozens of plans, all by name and alphabetized, and all free for the picking. Formats include GIF, JPEG, DXF, DWG, and others—so you'll likely find at least a plan or two your computer can handle. Plans come from a variety of authors and may vary greatly in detail and quality, so take some time to click through until you find what you want.
Craig Tarlington
These five RC airplane plans are all by the Willingtons website's owner and author, Craig Tarlington, and are offered in PDF format (see the 'My Plans' link in the sidebar if not taken directly to page). Plans are for a Pilen II (.25cu), Stunt Stik (.40cu), Stunt Stik II (.40cu), Gee Bee (.15cu), and a Beach Bum.
