Bonzo Moon Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 After some rather 'interesting' indoor round a pole tests, my £2.59 cheapo powered plane finally got an OUTDOOR maiden. And it flies and was great fun! I've bought two more, but not quite sure yet what I'm going to do with them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Green Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Brilliant fun, I must order a couple 😀 Is it the camera angle or is there no dihedral? Would that help do you think? How about a C/L one, cotton for lines, simple 1/32 ply bellcrank? It does look fun... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shepeiro Posted December 31, 2024 Share Posted December 31, 2024 Think it could be fun to make micro retro free flight types. Climb hard and fast then glide out. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No dihedral really and it's a kind of rubberised , very durable foam but doesn't bend and stay bent. I haven't tried a blade cut and glue though. Do it, let us know how you get on? I've got two more at home now. Worth it for the brushed motor, prop and small lipo inside. Great fun though as you say and funny enough, I had wondered about control line flying! 😄 Did you see the round the pole flights? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Climb hard and fast then glide out. And I was thinking that too. Small, powered, better designed balsa glider could go well. Great potential for experimenters. That's why, as I said above, I've now got two more at home now! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
