Hi everyone, new to this forum as well as the diy aspect of the hobby. built my first plane not to long ago. It was the FT flyer. Super easy to build and fly even for a first time flyer. We live on a very tight budget so just coming up with enough money for the one model was tough so i wanted to see what else i could do with the swappable pod. Since the plane was alittle intimidating for my 8 year old son i decided to take the spare foam i had and build a hovercraft that he could play with but since i dont have the funds to buy all new electronics (motor, esc, receiver) i decided to attempt to use the power pod off the ft flyer to power the hovercraft. has anyone else done anything like this?
so far it doesnt have a rudder yet so all it does is hover and move forward but id love to hear if anyone else has tried this or if there are any other vehicles people have used the swappable power pod for besides planes.
