Magnum Reloaded a.k.a. EasyFlyer Build from Plan and Test Flights

I hankered after a jaunty little EasyFlyer that one of the Indoor Aviation members flew regularly. The EasyFlyer kit is no longer available, but there is a very similar Magnum Reloaded available. I found the plans online and set about making my own Magnum Reloaded from foam.
This video covers the construction and flight tests of this great little flyer!

Well done Davo. It must be handy having an aeronautical engineer in the family.

Very handy!

Yep, that's why us Old Kamikazi Club members prefer EPP toys Dave. 😉
For your EPS builds, just adding thin packaging tape to any stress areas is generally the lightest fix. You can use carbon fibre or double up the EPS sheeting but that adds weight and/or bulk. And Superglue has a bad habit of going exactly where you DON'T want it - especially in shaky hands under the supervision of bleary-eyed Old Farts! 😱🙄😂

I’ve learned a lot from these builds. Looking forward to improving the planes. Nothing like flying something you’ve made yourself!
