    Josh and Alex build a few different designs of giant paper airplanes to chuck around. Then the stakes get higher when they go to make them radio controlled. There might be a few crashes... after all, this is flitetest. Don't throw these in class!

  • @sibysamuel2281
    @sibysamuel2281 4 года назад

    Hey, I know in paper airplanes there's two categories; darts and gliders. Darts are meant to be fast while gliders are more slow, but usually more controlled. If you wanted your large scale airplane to be slower, try making a glider. This was the original dart, I would love to see the original glider!

    I used to build a ton of paper airplanes at school, all the way from 3rd grade to senior year.

Its probably as big of an effect towards my interest in aviation as WW2 history is. That said, I should give this a try!

    I have a suggestion for a challenging RC build with your maker's foam. Make a large scale V-22 Osprey (larger than the 19inch model). One that is functional, that can transition from hover to forward flight and back to hover, without resorting to a lifting fan in the tail.

Henson and Stringfellow Aerial Carriage.

    I've made giant paper aeroplanes with big pieces of drawing paper before, but generally not this classic design. I've tried the rectangular glider type with a heavy folded bar nose (super floaty, even floatier when giant... but won't stab your eye out) and an odd fighter jet/dart-like thing I may or may not have invented... and one taped to the other. I never got to putting motors on them, though.

    I really loved this episode something really different! It was just really satisfying to watch, I can imagine how satisfying it was to build and fly. Really can’t wait for a supersized version or a build video of even this size for both models !

    This blew me away and completed my life. I spent my entire 5th grade year making paper airplanes and seeing that Classic fly so smooth just made my day!!
