planedriver Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Hi Guys, I thought that some of you who are into electric powered models may be interested in my nephews latest creation. He's been working on it for the past few months, and says it was challenging at times to build and get just right, but makes a change from his fleet of R/C hellies. As you can see, he's also fitted large ultra-bright led's in the eyes, and I think it looks pretty cool. Being in the UK, he's waiting for the right weather for it's first flight, so that could take forever:big_grin: Rgds Planey
monty Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks Planey, Wish your nephew good luck for the test flight. I hope all goes well for him. Monty
Tomo Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 Thanks planey, looks great! Can't wait for the flying photo's now... :thumb_up:
planedriver Posted May 26, 2010 Author Posted May 26, 2010 Last wierd one he made was a large scale electric powered flying saucer which was brimming with bright led's (like a well known jabiru flier from SE Quensland) and it caused quite a stir when he flew it at night time, and got many letters to the local paper. He must have a bit a mischief in him like his uncle.:ah_oh::confused: Shhhhh, dont say a word.
sfGnome Posted May 26, 2010 Posted May 26, 2010 If my models were anything to go by, it's important that he took the photos before the first flight... Wouldn't it be good if he could make a 1:1 scale model, Can you imagine flying around in that!? How cool would that be?

You'd arrive a fly-in with those red eye's and immediately, get breathalised:angry:
