enough for a practical living room flyer."

Status: offline 		there is actually a plane that can go 2 1/4 mph. it's a perfect living room or small room flyer. the aero ace is to fast to be a controlable living room flyer.

But then if you got a pole.... or a camera stand, tied a string to the
pole and taped the other end of the string to the AA's wing- you could
fly it around in sort of a CL/RC type set up.

Ridiculous you say! Maybe, but I've had even dumber ideas.

Status: offline 		I tried making a slow flyer it ended up not working well. I bought a rubberband penut scale plane. The Peck-Polymer Prairie Bird, 16" wingspan. I had it built beautifuly it looked awesome. I put the AA guts in it with a fully charged battery, threw it off the deck and it flew for about 5 seconds as it slowly lost altitude and skimmed into a landing. It was too heavy so I tore off all of the tissue paper that tooke me forever to get on and tore out some framing and it flies now. REALLY SLOW! and it doesnt gain any altitude it just stays about 1 foot off of the ground barely moving then it loses altitude and hits the ground I dont think these little motors are enough to fly this thing. It takes turns extremly slow too, as if it were rubber powered. I also have to fly full throttle in No wind at all. This wasnt worth $16 and 7 hours of my time. I wish it was a floater and actually stay in the air with some altitude instead of skimming the ground at speeds I can walk faster than. I completely destroyed this this thing. It was beautiful before I tore all of the tissue paper off. I could have swarn it would fly how it was in the beginning. I guess this would be a good indoor plane.

Status: offline 		the motors can haul around 20+ grams of weight. the electronics (both motors, RX, lipo) come in at 10-12 grams or so, so if you can get your airframe to around 10 grams in weight, it should fly. if you're already around 20 grams, then i'd try playing with the CG locations and motor angles and see if it helps.

Status: offline 		Hey Maas

These little powered hang-gliders are great. My C.C. Lee Bat is (was..) one of my fastest and most responsive twin-pusher models, with great flight times from a little 5-cell 300 mah NiMh batt. Cost £22/ $35? all up inc. Tx - good quality too, not a knock-off.

I just pancaked the Bat (pic in my gallery), flying it in too strong a wind. After most windy days here, the wind dies right down a couple of hours before dusk. Not last night though! Trouble with double pushers is, they don't have an up elevator when you most need it.... It may fly again with liberal epoxy and cyano

Cheers

Ayrton

Status: offline 		Here is my idea for a slow aa. attach the bottom wings inline with the top wings. Sort of a b 52 look. I think that will slow you down. You will need to trim back the wings so that the back of the wing is not in front of the leading edge. You will also have to put some weight in the nose. Putting the wings on like that will change the center of gravity. I think. Cobalt saber said he was working on a design similar to this.

By the looks of it, it seems to be a very ideal srf (scale room flyer).

hey evader click on the first link you put there. look at the drawing the guy drew of the plane. see how the rudder is angled?? it gives you lift when you turn.

The Plantraco TX's they sell (over 200 bucks!) are 3 channel but
some of the RX's are only 2 channel with 2 actuators.
Nice planes... could build your own a lot cheaper with your own foam.
I'm hoping the prices come down on the electronics in the near future.

Status: offline 		that particular plane is a copy (of sorts) of the ToonRacer that Michael drew up. i'm sure plantraco made a few little changes here and there, but they're the same plane. the only 2 channel RXs that they have are the tiny Butterfly RXs, but they are working on getting a 3 channel butterfly RX out sometime. the plane in the link are meant for the HFX900, which is the larger .9 gram 3 channel RX so you can have rudder elevator throttle. they look sharp though, especially the yellow and black one (on plantracos site), good flyers from what i've read too.
