Default RE: Blink build

Patrick and David,

I've been fondling the parts in my Blink recently. I thought about going the lekky route too. But its just too easy to knock one out of FFF for e-power. So I put the parts back in the box.

Then I thought about putting a PAW .049 in it, but that quickly lost its apeal too.

Now I'm thinking of really screwing up the intent of Patrick's design and putting a PeeWee engine in it. Uh-huh, you read that right.

So, here's what I'm thinking - drop the go-fast concept and take advantage of the good slow speed handling characteristics of deltas and make it so I can ONLY go slow. The design in very light anyway. Covered with laminating film and with HS-55 servos and a AAA battery pack and maybe it'll fly. Whatcha think?
