LOL... I bet if the engine can tun the fan... and the fan can take the engine RPM without shedding blades... it could fly.

I'd mostly be worried about shedding blades...

Naw, the blades may flex, but I think they would stay in place.
I bet the P factor on this plane would be strong!

Dunno whether it will fly or not. The extension cord keeps coming unplugged about halfway thru its' takeoff roll.
BTW, there is a little stuffed goose inside. I did have a Barbie doll for a pilot, but I had to get rid of her on her first flight. She told me the clock ran backwards everytime the plane went downhill. I had to explain that was the altimeter not a clock. I decided then and there I didn't want her driving my airplane.

If you use the oscillating function you won`t need rudder.

Funny, I keep having that problem with MY electric planes.

Well from my personal experiences when torque rolling the oscillating feature,keep it at center, that is a plus, but the only thing bad is at the end of the day you have to clean all that dust off the prop.

Sorry to spoil the fun, but I am really curious is this would REALLY fly; if you had like a brushless motor or something if it really would....Seriously..I"m gonna try that sometime....I have a fan in my bedroom......I'm sure that it might possibly stand up to the RPMs, but I'm gonna do that some day just to see what happens....I think that it would work just fine.....LOL

If you do, stay out of the propline, unless you enjoy being sliced. Have fun.
