- I built this insane radio controlled VTOL F-35 parkjet that can takeoff and land vertically using conventional miniquad/drone parts. The best part is the plans and code are all free, and I’m going to teach you how to build your own.

This RC F-35 is a first in its class: easy to build, uses readily available drone parts, and features full vertical takeoff and landing (VTOL) capability. Powerful brushless motors with 5” propellers and direct thrust vectoring make this thing an absolute blast to fly. I’ve designed it to be intentionally tail-heavy with active stabilization in forward flight, just like the real F-35. This allows it to be extremely maneuverable so it can be flown in tight spaces, or taken out to a big field to let it rip at 80+ mph. The total weight is approximately 600 grams ready to fly.

Special thanks to my buddy Peter for helping to film at the field: th-cam.com/users/peterryseck
If you build one of these, I'd love to hear about it!!
Still got my Teensy watiting to be put into some crazy craft ( Probably 2 axis thrust vectored X-31). Hopefully soon.
Edit: I do have some 2205 Motors laying around, might have to build the f-35 as well :D
@@dodo3441 Do Do Do it
Thanks for putting up the code. I will be doing this project over winter here (in Oz)... awesome project, much appreciated.
@@NicholasRehm Is there a chance you could make a dedicated PID Tuning video some time? I know theres thousands for betaflight etc. But I suppose the stuff you have built does behave a little differently. Would be really helpful to have a general guideline on what to look for plus perhaps a little summary of the tuning process from your previous projects.
@@dodo3441 that sounds like a great idea. Will put that on my to-do list
This is bloody genius. who would ever of thought of attaching the motors to the moving ailerons in order to change the trust angle? genius. you have a new subscriber
Cheers!
Really an admirable project
@@NicholasRehm Just don't sell yourself to China! China will come using in the likes Of how Shell Companies are so as to make the most out of you without you even realising.
I love theese kind of planes called VTOL planes it is fantastic that theese kind of planes can angle their engines like the harrier jet
@@oskarnilsson0712 think Harrier angles an exhaust vent, while engine stays fixed.
making all of the resources free and open?
this guy deserves more from youtube
keep it up!
The build is great, and the instructional is superb.
Thank you!
Great job, and Thank you! After watching your clear and easy to understand videos, I am feeling motivated to try building this.
Just stumbled on your channel this am and now my productivity at work is absolute garbage. Amazing stuff man. Thank you for making all of this so accessible. One of the easiest subs I've come across on YT lately.
Really appreciate it! Sorry about the productivity lol
This is what I have been looking for...many thanks for your kindness..I really appreciate..Bravo Nicholas
Really cool vtol f-35!
Great job building it and making this video!
Your F-35 flew in combat at Flite Fest really well and went under the limbo rope!
I was at Flite Fest!
A scientist is sharing his knowledge with others. The best manoeuvre I have seen. Genius!
I've been following your development for some timd and I'm going to build this. Thank you
Nick, thanks a lot for your video. This is an interesting project that can bring a lot of fun in the field. You did a great job!!
This is awesome. Thank you for making this public!
This is awesome! This I want to patronize. Thank you so much I now see a path to get into this awesome hobby. I am moving cross country but hope to get started this fall. Thank you again!
It is so cool you share everything, not gonna do VTOL but the rest is so helpfull for my project. THANKS!!
I’d be happy just showing up, and watching you perform that demo! Nice work!
That's the most comprehensive rc plane build video. Great job 🔥, That's an instant subscription.
Really cool, its look so simple but stable and perfect to fly. Love it 👌
Fabulous work! Thanks for giving us this.
Thanks sir for all your work!! Excellent tutorial.. Cheers
One of the coolest things I've ever seen! Genius!
Very impressive project, I like the design, great work
Thanks especially for sharing your plans. Like others, this is pretty motiving to try this myself.
That’s insane man. Awesome video. Hopefully I can get myself to try it sometime.
I can't believe I only just saw this! Fantastic work, I am looking forward to this.
Thanks for the build, great video.
Built two this weekend, the first one fell victim of reverse servos in forward mode, the second build went much faster! I tested hover and transition today in the yard. I hope to test forward mode next week at the flying field. Thanks for this cool design. I had most of what I needed in my "drone pile". Staples has some better quality foam than dollar store, my first one was dollar store and the paper coating would not stay in place, the staples stuff is way better, and laser cuts really well. Cheers! Oh, and I used a Teensy 4.1 instead of the Teensy 4.0, same pinout on the left hand side, and not a bunch more weight. I could not find the 4.0 anywhere. Edit: The second one flew great at the field this evening. Very happy. Thanks again Nick!!!
I havent flown an RC plane for a while this one seem easy to build nice one! thank for sharing
Thanks for your kindness and share. I really appreciate.
Thank you very much Rehmç especially for showing the design!
i hope i can give 1 for my son. hes the first 1 pop in my mind when i see this plane.
Very excellent and instructional video. Thank you for making this available. Definitely going to make one!
Let me know how it goes!
Incredible work💞
A little complicated for beginner w.r.t programming.
Over all mind blowing Project.....💓
Thank you for generously giving back to the RC community, and asking nothing in return. Super impressed with all this, esp the coding. Wow. Great job.
Now get building!! Thanks a ton
thank you so much for keeping this open source.
Thanks for sharing this amazing knowledge and plan👍👍
This is best video i ever seen. Thank you very much for your detailed sharing
It'd be really cool to see the thrust system designed like the actually F-35: It has one engine but multiple nozzles, but only one of which is normally used. When in VTOL mode, the main nozzle is angled down and multiple other nozzles open up and have thrust vectored into them to actually allow for VTOL to work
Loved the video, flight, take off and landing. I also like your design on the vertical stab. Looks like my next build will be my first VTOL! Thanks Nicholas for posting. Will keep you updated when the project starts.
Send pics/video!
@@NicholasRehm Will do!!!
@@wwjoesr How did it turn out?
@@tijnmestrom2153 I didn’t build it yet, been building some nice 3d printed planes!
Thank you for a awsome plane!!!! I'm going to buy the parts I need tomorrow!!!
Good luck with the build and don't hesitate to reach out with any questions
you have to admit that you have some flying skills, its not just the flight controller... SUBSCRIBED!
Well Done! That high Alpha is SIIIICK!!
You are Genius man...i never imagined anything could happen...fixing motor 😋
This is sick !!! Crazy game changer brought to us by the man himself !!!! Hype
Hey Mr. Rehm thanks 4 this useful and amazing video🙏
Nice project, and performs really well
for years ive been perfecting my foamies to high alpha and hover nose up without onboard stability control, if fact i made another today and havent tested it yet. here you come and make this thing and first go it performs like i wished mine would! im still using a single larger motor and im going for scale and cheap. so prop in slot, hollow body thrust vectoring, underside rudders and 3s. With 1000g max thrust and a 700g all up weight, nose up hovers are a feat i think. props to your build man its sweet. i found alot of your characteristics you describe of steering with rudder and correcting with aileron are relatable to my builds in low speed high alpha maneuvers.
Every time I watch one of these I think how does he not have more subscribers. Freaking awesome
Thanks, I'm Gustavo from Colombia, great job
Вы молодец! Такая модель достойна уважения. You are well done! Such a model deserves respect.
Very cool, thank you !!! It helps for my project
DIY at it's best. And affordable 👍
The build guide too was soo perfect. I just don't understand why you don't have millions of subs
Hey, thanks! Appreciate that a lot
Great job sir gonna make this soon hope you will help me to overcome the problem
Thanks Nicholas, very special, free download, thanks, crear explanation, I'm Gustavo from Medellín Colombia
Awesome work dude! Congs 👍🏻
This Thing is amazing!!!! Well done!!!!!!!
Cockpit-less F-35 was looking like a headless zombie hornet!
Dear Nicholas. My father in law who is a retired mechanical engineer built 4 of your F-35 jets and one of them was gifted to me for my 40th birthday. He actually cut the depron out on a 5 axis CNC and fiberglassed the main plate on both sides. He also built many pieces for it out of cnc'd wood, cnc'd fiberglass and many 3d printed parts he designed himself. I haven't been able to fly it much yet but thanks for your cool design!
That is so dang cool, let me know if y’all have any videos of them! Feel free to link them here or shoot me an email
NicholasRehmYT@gmail.com
@@NicholasRehm Finally managed to do more than hovering. th-cam.com/video/djwd3H6iif4/w-d-xo.html
Cool project, nice footage and editing. Fun channel...
Great build!!! This will allow me to try some of my own designs. COOL. Please note though, Elevons are only attached to a wing. the common term for those surfaces is Taileron or Dfferential Stabs. Radio manufacturers created the inaccurate designations because of their limited coding abilities.
Nice 👍... Excellent video.. Great job man... Only problem is now I'm going to have to add another build to my list 😅 subscribed ....can't wait to see what you do next....
WOW THE ARMY MIGHT WANT TO BUY THIS IDEA FROM YOU😮
You concepts are very interesting so I subscribed to learn more
I feel inspired to make a plane, and to make a video, great job!
This is so cool.. Thanks for build this one and make this available free to download 😍👌👍🎉
Now get to building :)
@@NicholasRehm can the code I use at the others arduino device then teensy?
@@HaznieModelAviator Not really--some have ported it to other boards, but it won't run as fast as it needs to because the teensy 4/4.1 has a super fast processor and that's what this code was written for. Teensy also has additional i/o capability for the receiver in / actuator outputs that something like an arduino nano is lacking
@@NicholasRehm thank you for the explanation.. Some parts are ready cut.. Wait for the teensy and the Esc.. Hope my budget next Month will enough to bough them 😅
@@NicholasRehm Great video. I can't find any teensy's around with chips shortage, but I've got some esp32's and pi pico's around, would those, roughly 130mHz processing be fast enough for stabilizing?
Nicholas! You are just too cool! Thank you!
So totally cool words can not do it justice. "To day the RC world, tomorrow we're making um so we can ride um."
very interesting, surely I will make one too, I hope to be able to program it with the source code because every time I find myself programming there is always something wrong, congratulations and thank you very much for sharing
You shouldn’t need to do much coding with the modified code I provided, best of luck
Greeting from Indonesia.. What an Awesome projects you did there.. 👍🏻
Cheers!
Good on you man good job impressive to say the least
great info, thanks for sharing professionally...
Very clever - also thanks for sharing all your info - especially the coding.
Thanks John, hope you learned something
Awesome project! My students at the community college will love this project.
What do you teach?
@@NicholasRehm I'm a STEM Advisor for college students.
you r a brilliant good fella. I know nothing about all of these but I like watching drones or rc planes. A hobby that I can never afford in my life. I would like to see a super fine tuned, nicely painted version of this vtol just for youtube content
Thanks for the kind words, I’d love to do a scale-looking EDF F-35 at some point
Very complex! Nice job man.
Thanks a ton
Gosh, how I love the f-35
Thanks you are Marvelous! You inspire me a lot.
It's amazing, Thanks a lot
Great video and build, thumb up!
Great work, my guy!
Indeed a great work. Nice explanations. Got motivated. Is there any code /setup for fixed wing models also using the same flight controller
Damn! it looked good on the thumbnail
Brilliant!!! Great reference for rokkie me
Now one can fly fast and high, or low and slow. Nice!
I love the subtle pokes at fpv pilots 😂😂
Nice! I have been thinking about playing around with some foam board builds. I've slowly been converting my 30+ year old balsa kit builds from nitro to electric on top of building FPV rigs using BF and INAV and just got my first ArduPilot VTOL but even all that going on I kinda want to start building one of these. I doubt I'm alone with piling up projects lol
Great video Nicholas. Thnx :))
Thank You!
Outstanding work!
Thanks!
👍 thanks for helping knowledge
Great video and design. It does seem like you could eliminate the front servo and tilt mechanism by programming differential rear motor tilt to control yaw during hover.
Absolutely, and I have flown with that config just fine before. The tricky bit is getting enough throw on the ailerons with conventional control linkages. I wanted to avoid any weird designs that were hard to manufacture for the average hobbyist
Damn cool man!! Great work!
Brilliant!
BRILLIANT!!
This reminds me of watching RCSuperpowers trying to do exactly the same thing 15 years ago. You are much more successful
Dave was ahead of his time with the technology available way back then! It's almost too easy now
Awesome video!
Very cool Nick!
Insane cool build, thanks! I'll definitely try building it. Do you like the two motor flying wing VTOLs? Btw could you please equalize the sound in the next videos. The flight section loudness hurts my years compared to your nice voice)
This is so fricken cool
DUDE THATS AMAZING!!!!! I wanna build one so bad now!
Well, what are you waiting for? Summer is around the corner :)
@@NicholasRehm I will build one for sure comming month!!!
