R/C Air Designs RC Sport & Aerobatic Plane Designs since 1983. By: Dennis Clayton Founder of R/C AirDesigns! A few years later in 1990 I designed the BIG BIRD.

Hi my name is Dennis Clayton I started designing R/C Aircraft in 1983 with my first design the Shooting Star. In 1995 I started on 2 more designs the FunStar 40 & my first giant fully aerobatic aircraft the AeroMax. The FunStar 40 was featured in the November 1997 issue of RCM reviewed by Jerry Festa. This plane landed me a designing job offer from Great Planes Models. I turned it down with no reg

rets. (This plane was dedicated to my good friend the late John Campbell who passed away in 1995 doing what he loved flying R/C.) The AeroMax took it's first flight in 1997 by the late Frank Mann who finished the airplane with a G-62 installed. This plane went on to be available in ARC form & around 35 were built and sold. Today at the 20th anniversary of the design of the AeroMax I have pledged to bring it back with upgrades in limited production. I look forward in seeing R/C pilots enjoying this great airplane again. Did I mention there are two more aircraft that's on the drawing board? Well there is and I have the designing bug again & these two aircraft are going to make a mark in the R/C world soon.

We are working on more 3D printed instrument panels. Here is the Cessna 182 panel older model. We are also working on the newest glass panels. The throttle, and mixture k***s etc will be painted. This panel is 8” long for Top Flight Skylane.

I get asked how big the cowl on the Stinger 3D is! Well here it is sitting on my fat head with room left inside! I hope this helps!
Two piece fiberglass for easy access to the engine if needed!

More progress on the Stinger 3D! Just sharing some rough images of how she will look. This is a new generation of the original plane. Designed for the most Extreme 3D but can be tamed by decreasing throws of course. This will be a great plane to start your 3D journey. Coming soon. Cowls and canopies are about to go into production. I appreciate all the patience with buyers of the plane that’s already in line for their new kit!
