very rarely, RC car motors are designed for torque, for the most part, and an RC plane motor needs to spin fast, to push air more effectively, however, it is possible with a brushless car setup, and maybe a gearbox

thats pretty cool, I love the battery idea, no wiring :)

should have won grandhis use of different aspects of cardboard is brilliant and very creative, great job

respect

nice one I designed a wing somewhat like this and tried to make it with hot wire, it turned out amazing and goes around 50mph

great job tho it looks sweet

be careful, that board is what you call an ankle shatterer. If you hit anyone going at any speed it will do some damage

is this an engergizer commercial

how bad does it itch

YES!!! do not get a cat.

yup! the wax paper does stick to the iron and has a hard time sticking to the t-shirt., which is not what I was going for

Yes I build foam core board planes as well! this would be great to make with foam and barbecue skewers. (you don't have to worry about it breaking)

thats great, you should expirement with chicken diapers, my neibhors had them so the chickens could hang out inside!

yup, 40 percent is less than a majority, and therefore some, and the rest is most(sorry about the equivocated term). Also, notice that I said if you use your bike for transportation it would work great, if you were offended I'm sorry but I was not intending to blanket generalize or say your idea was bad.

good idea, but notice that most people are not always on a bike, and do not use a bike daily. It could definitely work if you bike to work etc...

wow, good work, I could use service hours like that.

now u just need to get some shocks

seriously awesome.

way cool, Instead of using the bent paperclip. I recommend making a barrel with a hollow pen or something like that. Also, you can use the the little stopper at the back of cheap ball point pens to but on ur rubber bands so the pen stays in place. I know thats hard to follow, anyway... whatever

Don't shatter anyone's ankle! Cool grip tape design, I also made a board for this challenge!

thats pretty cool

does it project onto the ceiling well?

hmmm

Cool beans

Thanks, good luck.

I as a not very technological guy understand where your coming from but I think for the sake of making it possible for other people to recreate something this complicated he needs to give the techies all the details.

Oh and I should have mentioned earlier but I reccomend putting your front trucks farther back. It will turn a little sharper and will look better.

Thanks, me too. If I can build it I would rather not buy it. (Although I usually can't build it...;)

Hey sorry if the page was not loading well. I had another computer signed into my account and it messed some things up. I think I got it fixed.

Hey guys if you don't like the project or think it is a waste of time keep it to yourself. I understand wondering if there are any other uses but the whole "why?? u must be bored" stuff is unnecessary. I think its cool and can imagine spending an afternoon doing something like this.

Now you throw it in the air really hard right???

use a crushable bottle, let out some air and then twist them in the middle until u can't any more and then screw off the cap. u also get some vapor which is cool

Is the epoxy layer important to make the fiberglass look smoother or could I simply do the first layer in the fiberglass?

beautiful finish on the wood! what stain is it?

sounds like fun

brilliant

way to go man

uh, what do you mean by flight?

Hey man, just some tips. 1. Use home insulation foam for the wing, I am talking about the dense green or purple stuff. You don't need a spar if you use it.2. Clear packaging tape is much lighter, I recommend it both to keep the build clean and to keep it from being tail heavy. I cover my whole hot wire wing with packaging tape.

where did you find the kit?

I left my iPhone outside where it got rained on, SNOWED on, Seriously! and then covered in leaves. When I found it I put it in a bag of rice and it is still working!

Hey, I used the Clark-Y on my flying wing design, I should make and instructable.

I love how many times flite test shows up, I have built 9 or ten of their planes.
