EasyGlider - another concept
Hi all, just wanted to share some pictures of my new plane and my own concept for the Easyglider, being my first approach to the foam materials i though i would give it a try and implement a new design for this type of planes.
So i put my hands on the pencil & paper and draw a motor/camera bench that would release some space inside the fuselage that could be used for other stuff.
Since i had some extra pcb epoxy fiber boards available for my electronic projects, i decided to use it for this purpose and i´m glad i did it.
Here are some photos of the final result.

Nicely done!
How stable is the video - do you get any vibrations from the motor?
what camera did you use?

To be honest i haven´t recorded an airborn video yet, only flew 3 times with it and i didn´t felt much vibration, so i don´t consider it a problem.

So the entire plane is made from what exactly?

Hi, these planes are made of "ELAPOR", a special foam, very resistive and shock absorver .

Hi Gil
Very nice project. I would have been better off to do something like that.

Hey Gil,
That's a nice platform.
What kind of paint do you use? I've been afraid to paint mine because of solvents..
