Default Pizza Box Fliers?

I don't think the search is working properly on RCU.

Is anyone making kits for the PBF's yet?

If not does anyone have links for material and plans?

Anyone up for hovering COMBAT?

Thanks,
Joe

there was a huge thread about the pizza box a while back, i believe people are flying combat with these, especially hovering combat where the impact damage is minimal.
what on earth do you want a pbf kit for???? they are so easy to build!

heres dave mcdonalds plans-the father of the pizza box

Buy some 24" x 24" of coroplast sheets from www.harborsales.net and get to work with them. Buy a cheap 25-40cc motor with 4 standard servos, 3 12" pushrods, and 1 6" pushrod.

Follow the picture above for building instructions. I will highly recommened buying an OS 25FX as they are QUALITY motors and actually much more worth it in the end.

The Dave McDonald PBF takes about 3 or 4 hours to build. However, I think ARFS are available here, www.boogerboyhobbies.com.

LOL Joe? Do I have this about right?... one day of practicing precision IMAC flying has you balled up in such knots that PBF combat sounds good? [sm=lol.gif]

Yeah Joe, you got it about right.

But, hey, I lasted 3 (or was it just 2?) precision flights before I nearly fell asleep and crashed. What can I say...I have a short attention span!
