DIY Plane/Drone Hybrid

Ran D. St.Clair has been an active member of the Flite Test community for several years and has consistently created projects and written articles that make our jaws drop. The VTOL (vertical take-off and landing) Explorer that he brought to Flite Fest West 2017 is no exception!

 

The seamlessness transition from VTOL to beginner plane while midair was stunning. Although Josh and Stefan, both experienced pilots, were the ones who had the opportunity to fly this beautiful creation, Ran D. expressed how this truly is a plane that even the greenest beginner could fly.

 

 

Ran D. St.Clair’s VTOL Explorer was genuinely one of our favorite projects brought to Flite Fest West 2017, and we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did! Stay tuned for more Flite Fest West episodes, including an event overview within the next couple weeks!
