Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

here's the blue angles formation flyer i finished last night. 1/16th balsa for the planes, no sanding or coloring, as i was sure how it would turn out. the rear two jets are mounted at an angle in hopes of creating some stability, kinda like dihedral i suppose. i used .020 CF rod to connect the jets, but its too flimsy, some 1/16th balsa stick would probalby be much better. a few hand tosses showed that it did glide very nicely, so thats a plus, i'm just wondering if i made the jets too small with 4.5" wings. time will tell i suppose.

looks pretty freakin cool though gliding across the living room good idea, neurotex.
