I am sorry, but you might want to cancel your date tonight with your the other half

Why do you do this to us Oscar?? Why??

I don't think he's sorry either.......

Really!?

Why are you doing this to us? Gotta try that right when I get back from Christmas holiday...

Alright, finally! Here comes my attempt:



It actually flies pretty well, but it's quite fast and turns too slowly for indoor use.
Sadly, I don't have any big enough open area to try it out. Even our office is too cluttered with stuff. Just when I started to get a hang of it, I broke off a motor from the hot glue joint, so I gotta fix that and try again.

Edit: motor fixed and I actually managed to fly it around a bit. Slow steering caused the crash again :-(

Updated video in the post above.
I call this project a success

Better than the last video, hehe. Looks like it works.

Deal

OMG man! you did it!!!
have you tried it outdoor? wonder how it handles the wind

I also already crashed it so much that the paper is so crumbled/soft it doesn't hold straight, thus doesn't fly well at all. I didn't have a chance to try outdoors as the weather here in Finland so bad for flying anything.

I started working on a different design though. I'd like to make it slower and more suitable for indoors. The biggest issue was the huge turning radius combined with quite high speed. Let's see if I succeed there

Oscar:

I just found this great tutorial! It just so happens I have a nano quad with a blown motor that I can try this with!

If you still have a working one around, you might try taping the right stick of the controller in the up position to get more throttle power out of it.
