Ultra Cheap planes to make

My dad is going to order the material to make the stuff. It's gonna be great. I'm gonna make a pattern plane and maybe a funfly

The planes only cost like 10 bucks to make and you can have full 4channel control with gas engine.

I went to a meet at my field and saw one for the first time so i'm inspired now. I might make a DIY for how I made it.

Looks like a fun project.
Please take pics of the building process and keep us up to date.

Reminds me of the pizza box flyers. Cool part is, if you crash them and completely destroy them, the most you have lost is about 20$ and your time. Most electrics will survive. Now if you add a nitro mill then you could loose some serious cash.

Like Eddy said, keep use posted and show off those pics!

They're supposed to be indestructable so crashing really isn't a problem.

Also, I don't know if they weigh a lot but they don't look like they do so they're probably capable of hovering....always a plus.

Usually the engine can survive the crash, unless you go on a full throttle dive into cement. Personally, i've never seen an engine get destroyed from a crash...it's always just the plane itself.

Anyhow, we're gonna get the material on Friday so i'll start making it over the weekend. It'll probably take me a couple weeks just cuz I get ADD. But i'll be sure to take some detailed pictures.

I already got a design in my head for the pattern plane. I thought about the pattern plane, the one problem i'll have is that it will probably be too light so it'll get blown around in the wind a lot.
