Default RE: ZIPZAPS Hack

I'm not sure what the problems are with the ZZ's pcb, but I'm about to dissect one and give it a whirl. I sure like the idea of proportional prop and rudder. I made the fuse and wings last night. They came in pretty heavy, around 10g. I think I can trim another 3g off that, but I won't try untill I get the zz works ready to install. It was a matter of using what I had access to, and that was some pretty thick foam burger meat trays. I'm making an odd looking bipe. I tell ya what, if you are using cheap cling wrap for wing covering, have a friend help you apply it. Whew! If I can make this thing fly, I'll post some pics. If I can't make it fly, you guys will just have to wonder how ugly it really was. Ha! I still need to make a prop. Never made a prop before, but then, I've never made a bit plane before either. I could use some ideas on making the prop. I already have a game plan, but I'm always open to suggestions. Wish me luck.
