FT EZ3 Space Flyers MKR2
The FT EZ3 Space Flyers will take you to the next level in the world of flight or to a whole new galaxy. The Project EZ Space Flite will guide your discovery about how Bernoulli's principle applies to wings with very different shapes. The lesson guide and online videos will show you how to build and fly these custom-designed foam board planes. They can be flown as gliders or combined with the EZ Power Pack for remote controlled flight. Enjoy space flights as long as 10 minutes with ranges of over 400ft. Once you have experienced the wonder of space travel, you can follow the lesson guide and use the included materials to design and build your own flyer. Visit ftstem.com/ez for more educational resources.
These DIY planes can be used with the Project EZ Space Flite, as gliders or combined with the EZ Power Pack 2 Channel.
EZ Orbit
The EZ Orbit is inspired by annular wing designs. The EZ Orbit is a smooth and stable flyer outdoors and indoors in large gyms. Its fun for all ages to build and fly. You might even find yourself wanting to scale it up and to paint it like a giant-sized bird. We did! See video below!
EZ Nemesis
The EZ Nemesis is inspired by the forward-swept wings on some of the most exciting jet designs ever imagined and maybe your favorite sci-fi villain's spacecraft. The EZ Nemesis is a quick and smooth outdoor flyer. It looks great with the optional LED set for late afternoon flying.
EZ Voyager
We did some time travel to find the inspiration for the EZ Voyager. The FT Nutball is an all-time classic design that has been reimagined as a futuristic space flyer. The EZ Voyager is a slow and maneuverable large gym or outdoor flyer. We hope that the EZ Voyager inspires you to explore flight like the NASA Voyager probes explored our solar system.

EZ Orbit Is my own "baby" FT Giant Duck!
The FT EZ Orbit has become one of my favorite RC airplanes of any kind. It flies through the sky with the grace of a European ballerina. All of its maneuvers are smooth and graceful. It is very easy to launch and fly. I have used this model to demonstrate RC flying to many people! It has such an unusual appearance in the sky, it is delightful and you can hardly believe you get to fly something that looks this unique!
It is perhaps the most challenging to build of all of the EZ plane models, so you may want to have a more experienced builder help with the "ring" part of the wing. But if you don't have a helper just go slow and watch the online video and you can build it!
The best way to land this model is to fly it towards yourself and catch it by its nose! I'm not good at that so I land mine on the ground. This revealed several fragile spots in the structure that break, so I've learned to reinforce these spots with a little scrap of drywall mesh and some very light quick setting epoxy.
The orbit is an absolute delight to fly and to look at and it really entertains onlookers!
