This is a RC Flying Wing made of EPP foam from CrashTestHobby in Utah, USA
It is designed to be virtually indestructible and is a great starter plane.

Power system is:
Motor - Medusa Research MR-028-040-2200 V2 Afterburner Brushless Inrunner
Speed Controller - Castle Creations Thunderbird 36a ESC
Battery - E-Flight 2200mAh 3S 11.1V 30C LiPo
Propeller - Aeronaut 6.5x4
Servos - 2x HiTEC HS-81
Receiver - Spektrum AR6100

Full throttle prop speed is about 19,000 rpm @ ~80mph+




I will be adding a cmos camera and video transmitter so that I can fly the plane through first person view.
I will also be adding LED lights for night flying and adding colored packing tape to give it a good visual design.

Here is the maiden flight

100 dollar bill says I break it in the first 200 feet of movement.

<-- not a plane guy. Can fly helicopters all day long but couldn't fly a toy plane to save my ass.

That's what everyone tells me... Supposedly a plane is much easier than a chopper but I can't fucking fly one.

Bought 3 of them in my life. Was similar to watching two one hundred dollar bills crash into the earth and never to be used again.

Pretty sure my longest flight to date is WAY less than 30 seconds. Just can't figure than shit out men.

Haha! Personally, I find flying in real life to be WAAAAY easier than RC. I'd hop in a Cessna or Piper soo much more confidently, than if I were asked to preform a touch and go with a RC flier haha.

I love anything that creates lift.


I love riding in choppers, but nah...I'll prefer to become a glider should power fail. :)


I have the "Lily" drone on order, expected in February. That'll be the extent of my copter flying - and I'm not even flying it. haha!

Doubt i'll ever fly a real plane. Not my cup of tea.

Love motorsports but keep my ass close to the ground.

Well if you ever feel like trying I would suggest crashtesthobby.com
crashing is just part of the learning curve.

Here's the plane at full throttle doing circles above a baseball field

Planes just don't do it for me.

I get way more enjoyment out of watching my wife drive my 6s slash into a brick mailbox at 60mph. The slash has been the most resilient rc i've had but still not up to par with her sub par rc skills lol
