Super maneuverable stock aircraft that uses no propulsion except fins


Recommended Posts

If you are looking for a realistic aircraft don't come here. If you are looking for fun, read on.

I built this simple glider from stock parts. It is capable of reaching 800 m/s and turning on a dime without any means of propulsion, save the control surfaces.

I would have posted a video, but youtube was trying to force me to use my real name for an account and I'm unwilling to give that out to the internet trolls and the like.

It is very simple to build, just reference the below pictures.

The RTG can be replaced with a solar panel or even a crew seat if you so desire.

To fly...

First drive the cart like a rover until you reach 20 m/s forward velocity.

Next push the stage button to release the glider and climb up a bit

Then go up and down like a roller coarster to build up some speed

Finally once you reach 60+ m/s do a continual barrel roll to really speed up (careful here... if you go too high or too fast you will go into a flat spin and possibly crash.

Last thing Have Fun :)
