Overview

What’s that up in the sky? Is it a bird, is it a plane? No, it’s your entry for the Things That Fly Challenge. Enter today for a chance to win a DJI Phantom 2 quadcopter.

If it flies through the air, it is eligible, no matter whether it’s a paper airplane, a pumpkin being chucked through the sky, or a levitating robot. Keep in mind when creating your Instructable that your entry will be judged on clarity, ingenuity, creativity, quality of presentation, and execution, so put your best foot — or wing — forward.
