A lightweight electric plane made to look like a boat.

Yup, very cool. images/smilies/smile.gif

But it needs a pilot more than a driver to land safely ( without breaking it ) as the frame is very light but also very easily broken.

Notice how it corners no where near as fast as "normal" R/C hydro racers ? images/smilies/wink.gif

Ultra_Kool_Dude · June 17th, 2005, 6:59 AM

I wonder how much those cost...

I would have so much fun chasing Canada geese with one.

same here
That's crazy, I've never seen anything like this images/smilies/eek.gif

with this toy, you can have fun everywhere.
Does anybody know if it's a "petrol" or a battery engine ?

Lilleput · June 17th, 2005, 11:53 AM

I want one!! images/smilies/mrgreen.gif

The_Finn · June 17th, 2005, 3:18 PM

hmmm no plans as of yet... i bet it's a petrol engine tho.. i would think batteries would be overly heavy

jayjaya29 · June 17th, 2005, 10:03 PM

I would place my money on a petrol engine as well. You see those incredibly fast R/C cars all the time, same applies here.

tranceshakeel · June 18th, 2005, 12:50 AM

I,m too lazy I dont want plans I'd rather have the thing already built sent to me !! images/smilies/twisted.gif

check this out http://www.3d-nut.com/videos/skycutter40.wmv

on my computer it will only work if I download and save the file but not if I just click and let it load from the internet. I don't know if you guys have this problem also

SiR_dude · June 18th, 2005, 1:04 AM

AWESOME!!!!

CyberMonkey · June 18th, 2005, 11:26 AM

This thing is impressive indeed. It almost has to be a petrol engine indeed, as I don't think a small electromotor and batteries can produce so much power for more than a couple of minutes. And indeed batteries are too heavy.

Edit: it seems like the creator uses electric power for his other creations. There is a description of a small plane which uses a CD-rom drive motor... Not a bad idea in fact seen that this motors are quite powerfull and can reach very high rpm, and are cheap and easy to find.

that kicks ass images/smilies/w00t.gif

won't work on petrol, rather methanol or alcohol or sth

CyberMonkey · June 18th, 2005, 11:29 PM

Well, ok. I meant "fuel", as in "not electrical" images/smilies/smile.gif

My bad.
