OK, so my first wing thing only lasted less than 24 hours because I really didn't mind taking chances doing crazy things with a plane that only cost $5.00 and 5 hours to make.

As always more info and photos on my Wing Thing Page (http://pease1.sr.unh.edu/aew/rc/WingThing/)

Note!!! Many AVI movies on this page, even some with the Wing Thing flying 'combat' with a Lite Stik!

BLUSH!

Thanks, I like to build, but as far as piloting goes, I'm still learning. I have to build so prolificly to keep a supply of planes available to crash! LOL

Hmm. And I though I was the only one building to crash! :)

Allen,

I have been building for over 12 years and flying for about 1... I could never bring myself to fly what I spent many hours so lovingly building. That is why I love this new parkflyer/slowflyer revolution.

Well didn't weigh the first one and it's gone now. Empty airframe uncovered is 1.5 oz. I used GWS 4R receiver, 2xpico servos, Castle Creations Pixie ESC and GWS-A Carbon brush motor with a 9x? prop. Took 9x4.7 and twisted the crapola out of it.

Build it - it's a GREAT plane. I'll weigh my second one when I finish covering it tonight.

Hey Allan,

We must be on the same wavelength! That's the next plane scheduled for production on my building board.

What's the equipment list and flying weight so I can decide if what's laying around in my workshop will work....
