FT Flyer Indoors

[Jimmyp]

Bad weather is here in Ontario and wanted to build something I could fly in our church Gym. Here is a video of an attempt. Flying with high alpha makes this go very slow. It can also hover for a little bit. (my first attempt at 3D, LOL)

Nice Jimmy!

So did you do anything diffrent in the build?

 

[Jimmyp]

No nothing except I didn't put landing gear on it.
Motor: HK-2204-14T - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=21862
ESC: Turnigy Plush 10 amp - http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=30684
8x3.8 Prop
5 gram servos.
Fly with both 500mah 3 cell and 2 cell. 2 cell gives lots of power and can take it vertical. with 3 cell I give it less juice.

Cool! Love it!

What size gym is that? I've been flying in just a single basketball court sized gym. It's a little tight.

Here's the plane I made: http://forum.flitetest.com/showthread.php?6231-FT-3D-Indoors&p=74868&viewfull=1#post74868

It looks like we're using nearly the same electronics. Except I was using an 8x4 GWS prop.

Not very big. I think it is not quite a full basketball court size. Its better than nothing. Flew it again tonight for awhile. Better than outside as today it is minus 16 Celsius.
