RAPTOR 140

The Raptor 140 was built to begin meeting the needs of a USA-trip capable airfcraft. Its fast, efficient, carries the most advanced flight controller and avionics, and can cruise at 100kph (62mph) for almost an hour.

POLARIS

The newest drone in MyGeekShow’s fleet! With a massive 2 meter (6ft 7in) wing span and a 700 watt power set up, the Polaris is ready to being testing the USA trip feasability.

SHRIKE

Created and flown early in 2012, this blend of flying wing & traditional airplane was created specifically to carry APM2, FPV, and Telemetry equipment to allow the show to master key technology-aided flight principles.

RAPTOR 120

Created and flown early in 2012, the Raptor 120 was MyGeekShow’s first real attempt at scratch building a flying wing. It totally exceeded our expectations for controllability, speed, durability, and flight characteristics.

NovaOnGround

NOVA

The Nova was the first entirely MyGeekShow designed and built RC airplane. It’s main function was to carry AP & FPV gear and to prove that we could design and build our own RC airplane that could equal or exceed a commercial built airplane.

geekstar

GEEKSTAR

A copy of the multiplex easy star, this airplane was the response to failing MTP’s, and was built to prove that scratch built airplanes were possible and could match the performance of a kit, even if it was a copy.

MODULAR TESTING PLATFORMS 1-3

The first powered RC airplane scratch built by MyGeekShow. They did more crashing than flying, but were the foundation for learning and developing the skills and knowledge to build future airplanes.

SIMPLE GLIDER

MyGeekShow focused on building a glider before building a powered RC Airplane. Why? Trent felt that if he could build a good foundation in a stable and strong glider, then adding the electronics to it would allow for an excellent airframe.
