Jim S - Home built Wright Brother's Wright Flyer RC Electric Model Airplane 2010-09-19

The plane was made using wings from a kit that is no longer in production.

Jim is very inventive and a great builder.

Nice Flyer!

Whose kit is that? Is it available?

Thanks,

Dave

Well, that flies realistically. I'm just kidding...a realistic one would fly 50 feet and die at best.

[dmerc00]

@thetheflyinghawaiian Yeah, it's new and improved.

[dmerc00]

@DrinkThunderbird Yes, plus Orville and Wilbur would have been impressed that it was flying with electric motors and a small LiPo battery. Some day maybe there will be a full scale electric plane or is there one already?

Very nice, how did you loop this WF, impressive. Perhaps a next project for me haha.

[dmerc00]

@nelle3838 Jim looped it very carefully!

Gr8 stuff guys...Wow. very cool. I bet if you put a little GI Joe around the battery it would look real crazy ...Thanks for posting
