Questions

How big is the RC11 PCB?

It measures 159 × 130 mm and has 4 copper layers, 1.6 mm thick.

What parts does the RC11 use?

106 parts, built around the AZ1117CD, ULN2803A, BAT42 and XF-506P. The full list of its parts is on this page, with links to each part's symbol and footprint where PCBKit's library has them.

Where can I download the RC11 KiCad files?

From the AgOpenGPS-Official/Rate_Control repository on GitHub, at the commit this page was made from: the board is Teensy/RC11-2/PCB/RC11.kicad_pcb and its schematic ESP32/RC15/Analog.kicad_sch. PCBKit opens the board in the browser, with nothing to install.

Can I use the RC11 design in my own project?

Its repository publishes it under the GPL-3.0 licence: you may reuse it on that licence's terms (keep the author's notice, and for a copyleft licence share your changes alike).
