For "glass", canopies, turrets, etc... Now is a good time to find some nice shaped plastic ornaments in various sizes that can be used or modified for such purposes....



I especially like the ones that are 2 part so you get two canopies for the price-o-one

Every good secret development team needs a good hanger.....

Enter.... The ACME Snoop Works....


Specs MAX 5 sheets of Foamboard. ( as few as 3 if it flies) (1.25 for 1/4 scale)

The ACME hanger is a pretty simple build and easily scaled down to fit smaller aircraft. CG and aero will all depend on the craft to which it is affixed to. Use tape on the outside of the corners to simulate A/B fold, then use hot glue to hold the parts together. Bead of glue, and fold it into the correct A/B. Roof to walls will be trickier because of the angles. Probaby could cut some tabs and holes to make a better union at a later date.

Leave a side wall off to use it as a hanger. Cut out ends to allow for airflow for flight.

Knocked out a quick micro build by turning one sheet of foamboard into four and then using the same proportions as a full sheet build. Cut a sheet into half in both the length and width directions. BAM! now you have four. Do the same to a second sheet. BAM! Now you have Eight and can make a micro barnstormer hanger for your whoop collection, singlecopter, etc.... Could even fly through it as an obstacle on a tiny whoop course....

Micro example of using tape for the A/B folds


Example assembled, but not hot-glued


What's in YOUR hanger????

What about the Vapor? E-flite released a UMx Vapor that is smaller than the other Vapors.

Not sure about the UMx Vapor. My Night vapor is too large for the mini hanger.

Got a new recruit in charge of dropping.....

Snuck into the Secret ACME Snoop works and spied what appears to be a thrust ring of some sort...



Hmmmm...... or maybe an eight position drop mechanism.... Maybe an eight passenger viewport????


Hmmmm.....

I have an extra power pack F so I might just design my own snoopy plane.

Time to start working on this thread again. Never posted the video of the OctoUFO to this thread.

It has flown quite a few times over the years. May upgrade from a 1.8" to 3" build. :-D
