Egg Plane No. 009 - Prototype Egg Gyroplane

Work in progress with this egg, making sure I can get it in the air and the EDF/rotor configuration is working together before adding a little detail and life to the build. Looks like I can move on to the next stage of this build!

cool! is the rotor for looks, or function?

More for looks with the small blades but compared to the other two this one is more tail heavy. Got it flying so making the wings smaller, adding a pilot, paint, and going to make the blades bigger to finish this build.

Thanks! Same as any EDF build but using a 12" foam egg for the fuselage, bottom half has the EDF so intake / exhaust hole is cut out then add the electronics. I got three more egg builds planned, waiting on parts now.

Should be floating in a bath tub, making it fly is quackery!
