My first scratch built airplane. Originally meant to be a 3d flyer but turned out to be more like a slow park flyer. The parts include the E-flite park 370 brushless outrunner motor, E-flite Pro 10 amp ESC, GWS 4ch Receiver, 4x Futaba sub-micro servos, and a Tenergy 7.4v 900mah LiPo battery. The song is "Looking at you" by the Tartan Rascals.

  • Actually it is quite docile plus you are a competent flyer.

  • Thanks! :D

  • Is it tail heavy or under powered?

  • It is both, slightly tail heavy, and is not powerful enough to fly in any wind at all with this setup.

  • very well done you made a very good plane slow and controlable

  • Thank you!

  • 1:05 NAZIIII!

  • I like your design. It has a 1930-40 look, but with a bit of a gothic, batman atmosphere look. Very interesting. Sure looks like it flies nice. If you later want to speed it up some, you would have to upgrade to a faster/larger engine, esc, and such. I am thinking it flies very comfortably as it is, but I do understand the younger generations might desire more speed.

  • SUCCESS! What a great feeling, huh!?! Nice flier!

  • where did you get the parts for it? i really really wish to build a plane similar to this, but i dont know where to start, im not experienced at all when it comes to transmitters/reciever, escs, and all that stuff. some advice please :D??

  • nice build ... with an other setup and on 3s lipo it will be a great 3d flyer i think ...

    very nice look when it flies :)

  • Great Job, You are a very bright young man.

    I wish i had an accomplishment like this at your age...

  • Great job thanks for posting your plane :) and Video

  • Nice job.....
