Pizza Tray Flying Car - The Build

I have had several requests to make a flying car and I did make a half hearted attempt last year. However last night I happened to watch a couple of YouTube videos featuring RC flying cars and that encouraged me to have another go. I intended to just try a glider but I have put a small motor on it so I will have to find a big field or park for the test flights. I have absolutely no idea if it will actually fly and we will have to wait for the weather before I can find out. If you have a question it is probably worth reading this video description first because the answer may already be here. To help you find my videos I made two search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or checkout my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Some RC flying car videos I found on YouTube Hot Wheels Street Hawk Remote Control Flying Car Review /watch/IjnM8UO2g4n2M Funny flying rc cars driving on the wall (including Super Mario) /watch/YhagG1i5mPW5g Firesky The flying RC Car /watch/YtHfJmGCG41Cf I Super Charged my Flying Truck the easy way! /watch/wdcYqJU33db3Y Main components - Polystyrene Pizza Trays Superglue Aluminium drinks can Thin plastic straws Here is an example of the eBay listing for the motor http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251682087025 The eBay link for the propeller is http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/291043236498 Clearly many parts of the world do not have polystyrene pizza trays. They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick.

To find them follow my search guides /watch/wgcHOoOSBecSH or /watch/kRYwkwgU4jZUw or see my playlists page /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan/playlists?flow=grid&view=1 Generally my projects are for my grandchildren to enjoy. OK, I enjoy them too. If anybody else likes them, that is a bonus. I like to keep my work as simple and basic as possible so that it can be copied easily and improved by anybody who wants to try themselves. I recycle or repurpose items rather than buy new and when I do buy I like to keep it cheap. /user/GrandadIsAnOldMan
