[calineophyte]

I can't see how those wings could create any lift. They seem flat without the profile of a "normal" wing. Can anyone enlighten me?

[poormanintexas]

Looks like he needs canards in the front to keep the nose up that could be his control sutface. No rudder in the rear needed. Also reenorced carbon fiber wings n fiberglasss n i bet iy would fly as long as its light. Good luck.

[cogworkz]

V-tail. :)

[Braxl91]

Danny McBride.

[RutinaRottis]

does it fly? projected wing surface area seems quite small?

[Appycake]

Actually you sound like Danny McBride.

[rannz8]

its not a race car motor its a rc car nitro engine

[polishedbrother]

I actually wonder if he would sell it. ??

The picture is without the rudder in place. I'd love to hang it in my office entryway.

[polishedbrother]

Has any one ever seen a design like this fly?

[polishedbrother]

It's HILLARIOUS that about 10 people have message me commenting and saying, " you sound like the family guy character" ...

Of course I don't think so but, 10 opinions carry some weight. LOL!

[emperormiester]

@polishedbrother u do haha

[GrobarBorcha]

@polishedbrother -10 brainwashed idiots watch family gAy!!

[JaxxBat]

I like it..

[soundadvice2k]

The camerman sounds like John C Reilly.

[ivoinformatic]

And????? Fly or not fly???????

[polishedbrother]

@ivoinformatic Utah... I don't think this will be maiden flying anytime soon.

[SEThatered]

O_O WOW

[a914freak]

Yea I fly the paper airplane type all the time.

[a914freak]

It's called a tubular wing and they ave been around forever. A very popular paper airplane design

[polishedbrother]

@a914freak Ever seen one fly?

[DeXter2k3]

@polishedbrother No... even yours... why don't you fly? Why is here no video about fyling that thing?...

[polishedbrother]

@DeXter2k3 Man Dex, I reall think the wings are not stable enough to fly. Seems possible in theory but......

[ob1kanukie]

Mike @ Gentle Jungle in Alsip!!!

[fudgedogbannana]

Ahh my grandmother can do better.

[GeneticallySuperior1]

Either he stole the idea or he's an engineer of some sort

[cibergenio2008]

NINGUNO

[nestywings]

coocoo man

[rcpilotp51]

Did this ever fly?

[FUBUXGEAR]

i remember seeing this on some nasa projects report a year or two ago, he has the wings and engines on backward tho i think, and the wings definately dont look stiff enough.

[lokalllize]

any vid of this thing flying

[walkandlookup]

annular wings suposed to be efficient

[Bazanteria]

was it ever airborn ? :o

[bristles1000]

so ... you're turning the wing upside down so it pulls it downwards...

[piwright42]

Twin annular wing? I hope he flys this soon. Interesting to say the least.

[MrGilbertooreste]

I still don´t know if its fly.

[zavatone]

"your" what?  Try "you're".

[BananaT3arz]

*you're

[RCllamadude]

EPIC

[miguelgaio]

Cleveland Brown?

[peeweet123]

any video of it on air :O?

[kenzlflakes]

the guy with the camera sounds like cleveland from family guy.



[trakkaton]

The attempt that I can recognize is to eliminate the whirl at the end of the wings which makes it more efficient.

[zero00tolerance]

Where is the video of it flying aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhh

[The42ndWoot]

It is. and might i apologize for the initial comment was in a bad mood

Happy Flying

[magicmike1122]

it wont fly

[The42ndWoot]

@magicmike1122 why not? Have you tried to make one? this is what RC it all about with out trial there will be no success. If you are into RC quit because you discourage the innovation of the hobby.

[magicmike1122]

@The42ndWoot Why not? Look at the "wings" It looks like they got left in the sun for a couple hours. RC is not just all about trail. Everyone enjoys RC differently. You may enjoy slope soaring, i enjoy RC UAV's. Thats fine, let this guy enjoy building weird looking planes but why build a plane like this if the traditional way planes are made works? Me quit? Im discouraging the hobby? Coming from the one telling a 17 year old kid to quit? Good one there buddy

[The42ndWoot]

@magicmike1122 Admittedly telling you to quit was well out of line. as you said your preferred field is UAV's so you most likely know very little about these types of planes. there are some very odd theorys that do work. all i was trying to say was don't going telling people it wont fly because it might. all be it very unlikely. my suggestion post opinions not statements

[magicmike1122]

@The42ndWoot Okay, let me rephrase my comment. It might fly. Better?

[yesus00]

is the first time, i hear a plane has a cars motor!! it could use it ??

[waverly24]

Wow, thanks for making something different!

[DAMIENloh1970]

You'll never hear from him again, he is currently being held captive at Area 51...

[stevecraignet]

You are my kind of guy. Forget the box... think like the air. We and the Wright Brothers are kindred! Your creation will fly, and astound 'airplane' people.

[illustriouschin]

And then they were never heard from again.

[skylinmegas9290]

is there an update to this seeing as its more than a year old

[NoCountryMembers]

Title doesn't make sense. I think you meant 'you're'.

[bensontam]

can it fly?

[UnnamedEngineer]

Nice Plane! Hope it will fly!

[livyapril]

et alor sa vole??????

[RcLento]

So,where is flied fly

[1pdigit]

it needs an airplane engine, they're lighter

[kwqe500]

"appreciate your letting me take a shot at it" - 12 gauge or rifle? I don't think it's gonna get off the ground, so one between the canopy should put it out of our misery (!ha - or did it fly? Then the jokes on me!)

[Art456654]

haahhah it will fly but not turn ahhaahhahaha

[pattr007]

Very cool concept.

Any idea when it will test fly?

[laitchdasi]

will not fly 100% the wings move too much

[Art456654]

@laitchdasi everythings flys even you monkey ,,,,,,,,,but can it be controlled? ahhahahha 89% ist uncontrolable

[Art456654]

@laitchdasi and i know i didnt spell it right get over it

[ohshit88Jose]

that looks like it would have super speed in space**

[polishedbrother]

thanks for the comment superjboy. Stay tuned.

[jkyet]

@polishedbrother Ok, it's been a year. What's the progress?

[superjboy]

+1 for flight vid...

[nerys71]

SO is there a flight video yet?
