  • It didn't, its a camera trick. :)

  • This Firefox, with the recommended power setup, will fly around just fine at 50% thrust under my testing. You have to look at the amount of drag the "engines" in the back create, though. While the airplane isn't extremely aerodynamic or maneuverable, I will be making a series of videos over the next few weeks that will help it out in those aspects. Thanks!

  • I would like to see one of these r/c planes being controlled by thought. You know like the helmet Eastwood had on in the movie. They could sell one with the r/c plane any you could fly it that way. Or you could make your own. Recently they came up with some headgear that you can control things with. Maybe they can be modified to control R/C planes. Look it up online and see if you can make one R/C compatible. That would be a cool toy.

  • Why are the plans discontinued? Can you atleast give them out for free if you dont want to sell them? It's a really good design and it's a shame that other rc pilots can't enjoy flying your wonderful skillfully perfected design. D:

  • But is it radar-invisible? :)

  • Hey Scott, where do I find the plans for making this nice Firefox of yours?

  • "Weapon system armed. Rear defence system engaged. I hope it burns up the sky" :o)

  • Wow! Minute 1:18-1:23 Amazing takeoff! This is awesome looking for depron. Good Job! Looks hard to make though.

  • niiice

  • @PatBALEX They've been discontinued for whatever crazy reason.

  • That is beautiful!!! Where can I get the plans for the Mig-31 Firefox? I hope I didn't have to go to Russia and steal them.. :)

  • he man, thats the best i ever saw from you. youre a great pilot and designer too. keep on filming, every saturday a new video best, like rcpowers (but he didnt this now).
