That's exactly what I used for the 300% noob wonders. Get the Dubro Giant Scale horns. They are worth it.

Somewhere in the dark recesses of my mind there's this flag saying something about a hobby weight limit of like 75 american pounds, maybe less.
Technically I suppose you could servo control a human carrying ultralight..... hmmmm. And yes there were foam human carrying ultrafrights. Perhaps there needs to be a better set of rules?

I doubt anyone is going to be over 75 pounds…

UAS is 55 lbs. by the FAA....

With a UAS or drone greater than 55 pounds, you would need to obtain an exemption the Special Authority for Certain Unmanned Aircraft Systems (USC 44807).

Still, I doubt even @Houndpup Rc rc’s A-10 will weigh that much.

Yup, the plan is too go 54.99999 JK

Yeah, I think FT's weighed 27lbs with the airsoft gun...so I am guessing about 30-35 for me....Might need to get bigger motors and spin 17x6 props instead of 14x6....

Can we use helium?

 

[Houndpup Rc]

Can we use helium?

That's up to @Mr Man! 😂

 

[Mr Man]

If you could even find a way to get it in the plane🤣🤣

That's how the huge indoor planes stay so light

Hydrogen is lighter....

 

[Mr Man]

Hydrogen is lighter....

True, and cheaper…. And cooler if you go all out dogfighting…

Correct @LitterBug.

My 300% Noob Wonder Twin is ~16lbs AUW. About 4lbs is batts, 4 is electronics. (Motors, esc, Fire wall, wires etc)

Just remember mass/weight grows exponentially with size.

This challenge is right up my alley! If already built scratch builds are legal, I have a couple entries My 200% Viggen and 1.8m P-47. Photos and video evidence of superb flight are both available.

I'm NOT in charge but generally the spirit of challenges is to design, build, and fly within the time frame.

 

[Mr Man]

yeah, Flying Monkeyfab is right...

I’m not gonna be able to do this challenge but here’s what I would probably do…a 200% MS Corsair!
