In the wind - my DIY sub-250g Foamboard FPV RC plane
There was a stiff breeze today at the field and a lot of thermal turbulence so I thought I`d see how well the little DIY Sub-250 gram FPV model I built from foamboard would handle the conditions. The answer: pretty damned well! Our runway is about 1Km long and I flew to each end with no problems, then did a bit of low-level proximity just for fun! Brilliant!
THE MIG MAIDENED VERY WELL IN THE GUSTING 15 MPH WIND BUT DUE TO THE BRITTLE NATURE OF THE PLASTIC SHE SIMPLY BROKE UP ON THE SLIGHTLY HARD LANDING - PITY AS THERE IS POTENTIAL THERE !
In this video, we are going to make a cardboard airplane (glider) properly, we are going to use techniques used in RC airplanes builds but using cardboard
