FireFly XXL

by notsane | November 1, 2013 | (8) Posted in Just Fun

This is a version of the FireFly created by leadfeather on RCGroups.com. A 48" wingspan and all the RC equipment mentioned in the vid ... also a 10x6 Master Airscrew prop. I built this to be a platform for night flying, so I'm looking for something that doesn't fly too fast ...

Nice! That should hold quite a few LED strips.

This is the first plane I ever scratch built. Did it with the old man. I have a real soft spot for it. Great to see it get some attention, and lovely build. Thanks.

Interesting, I spent all day building a mid engine flat $tree foam board plane to try to promote combat at our club, first version flew well with 30 ft streamer but now I'm trying to add a kf foil for extra strength in the front of the plane.

Wow!!! Great camera work. Who was handling the camera and what kind was it?

RoyBro ... my wife handled the camera (a Sony CX100). YouTube's processing removes any jitter in the video, but I think the secret is switching the focus to manual at infinity.
