Dollar Tree Foam Airplane Challenge

[robschonk]

(Yawn...)

Not another one.

Everybody and his dog has built a Dollar Tree Foam Board airplane.

But.........that's not what I said.

Get a 22" Dollar Tree foam glider and convert it to RC!

It could be as simple as a two channel yank and bank glider, or chop off the nose and add a motor and ailerons too!

The vertical stabilizer and wings are a bit thick at the control surfaces, but nothing a little sandpaper wouldn't fix.

And if you skroo it up, you're out a buck.

Watcha think?

Might make a great indoor plane. Might have to try this when I get home this weekend

 

[Tritium]

Core it out and go Ducted Jet. OR Rocket Engine .

You guys sound like me "Oh yeah, no problem. I'll do it". ... *never does it*

I'm currently in the process of converting an AirHogs Titan chuck glider into a swapable, hopefully FPV platform.

 

[Halcyon25]

does this one count... 48-inch White Raptor Glider...

I plan on getting one or two of these and make a fpv platform...

Good luck with the titian, eagle -- you'll need it. just be sure to clip it's wings.

BTW, ya'll looked at the tail alignment on it, awful lot of incidence on the h-stab . . .

 

[eagle4]

thanks CraftyDan, i was thinking i could get away with velcro to hold the wings on, or maybe that in conjunction with a verticle bbq skewer going through the fuselage through the wing and out the other side of the fuselage.

For the titan? if you haven't servo'ed the wing, why bother? friction fit will hold 'em in just fine.
