Knievel's Ms Pac-Man Cabinet
Knievel:
Oh yea, big time. I'm still into it, just small electrics now though.
Being able to walk out into the yard and fly a plane was always a dream of mine. And new technology, mainly Li-Po batteries, has made it a reality.
I'll be buzzing the livingroom this winter with some real micro stuff.
This place is eating up a lot of my money these days :)..

That's all that I would fly around here...the electrics. My next project (started over a year ago!) that I'm finishing is an electric with my digital camera on board. I can't wait to see this place from the air. This plane flew only once and showed signs of instability (wing incidence or???). I didn't bother again flying it again. I did get some shots on the first flight (how brave of me). The plane is a scratch built plane called the Magpie.

Knievel:
Very cool. I'm not into scratch-building yet..maybe next year.
Nice flying field you've got there. :)

Did you close up those wingtips before you flew?
Cornchip:
Nope...I've never closed a wing tip in on a straight wing. I don't expect much lift is lost if any at all. A straight wing produces (as far as I'm concerned) equal lift anywhere along the span. If it was tapered and drag was a consideration then yes. Sometimes drag add's lift. Here speed is not needed...just lift. I think in total the plane and camera all up weight was something like 42 ounces (just over 2.6 lbs). Wings like this are common amongst RC builders called 'SPADS' or Simple Plastic Airplane Design. I'm a Spadder. ;)
