Got $10 and 20 minutes of spare time? Well build this nitro-powered parkflier-size RC model plane for the Cox BabyBee engine and have a ball!

This is the promised flight-video -- sorry about the dark skies. As you can see, this model is fully aerobatic, rather quick and a lot of fun to fly.

The build-video is coming shortly. Subscribe NOW to avoid missing it.

  • Great video, would this be a good plane to learn to fly with or should I buy one off the many trainers I see online.

  • @TeckPriezt A trainer would be easier to fly -- and get a simulator for your computer too! I'll do a really easy-to-build coreflute/coroplast trainer model once I've posted teh rest of the build-video for this biplane. One advantage of this material is that it's super-strong so it's really hard to break a model made from this stuff and even if you do -- 30 seconds with the hot-glue gun and it's fixed.

  • why u guys fly gas? would have taught electic would be better for a small plane

  • @jambuttymegasize Ah, but everyone flies electric models this size. It's nice to be different. The build video will include an electric version.

  • at the begining of the series you said you were going to "show us how" to do it , not the materials needed and a finished product ..... so i dare ask that you follow through with you original title how to build to which you failed to address. Nice job on the finished product.

  • @seansmp420 I just wanted people to see that it flew and how it flew before they committed to following the build-video. Hopefully it'll inspire a few to "have a go" themselves.
