The guys at Flite Test have too much fun

This has to be one of the funniest videos I've watched in a while. Next question - will MRC start carrying Ikea chairs now?

Peter ("FoamAndTape" on RCGroups) has built a number of really cool things, including a gigantic Star Destroyer (triangle shaped spaceship from Star Wars), a giant foam plane with a circular wing, and he has his own homebuilt electric foamie that he flew in (outside) as the pilot.

That was too much... unfreakinbelievable! :Win:

[Aros]

That was hilariously amazing!

We'll start stocking Ikea chairs. LOL LOL

[Dual Prop Dave]

How cool was that! :Cool::Win:for sure!

Have you guys ever done some sort of oddball build challenge over here on Hobbysquawk? Might be rather fun to come up with some weird idea, and see what people do with it.

[rifleman_btx]

Lol that would be fun

We had our club “McGuyver Build Off” a few weeks back:

This was before I joined HobbySquawk ................. This is a guy named Otto (in San Diego). He is the inventor of "Flyguy" and "Flygirl". I've built both and have flown them successfully. One day, I sent him a message just to plant the idea of making a flying Dumbo and lo and behold, weeks later, he did it. He's also made a fly doghouse with Snoopy on top, a flying Xmas tree and many others but he does it for commercial promotional events.

In fact, there are many weird and wonderful plans out there for some very strange things. Personally, I've built and flown a Pterodactyl. I also have the Mad Bird (HobbyKing). I also started a "Flying Pig" but I lost interest in it and it just sits on the shelf.

I love seeing stuff like this. Reminds me of a friend at Apollo who makes planes out of straws and Saran wrap, and carved props from plastic knives and popsicle sticks. Stall speed = 0mph. Cruise speed = 2mph. That's really difficult to do!

Here's a few pics of Peter's Star Destroyer. All foam (1" insulation board). Yes it flew!
