A Scratch Built RC Plane Flies by Real Aircraft Carrier

Another video brought to you by http://www.mikeysrc.com/

RC plane flys by USS Hornet retired US military Air Craft Carrier

Location: Alameda , CA

Little pet project of mine. I wanted to build a collapsible RC plane that I could take to remote locations to film interesting scenery. I scaled up my Sport Trainer design http://mikeysrc.com/Sport-Trainer.html and put two motors on it on the sides so I could put the camera in the middle.

Stay tuned for more videos from cameras on board this plane.

Construction materials. Foam board / poster board / foam core / depron. Popsicle sics, BBQ skewers, carbon fiber rod, packing tape and hot glue.

Planes uses either one 2200mah 11.1V lipo or 2 1300mah 11.1V lipos.
2 1000KV motors,
2 10 X 6 GWS direct drive style props.
2 40 amp esc's
4 servos
