Probably worse 🙁

Cardboard is the new foam and it’s a lot cheaper 🙂

Nice job Kermit.  I like the assistant you have in the first photo 🙂

This is the best video ever. Well done Rian. Some excellent drone flying skills there.

Good job on the audio dubbing Chris. Really good choice of music.

I reckon this video should get the Moose award.

Here is the onboard footage from the ZOHD Dart XL Extreme using Runcam Split 3 camera:

Thanks for uploading the scoresheet Mike.

I wish I had taken my hat cam as the wind conditions made for some really nice sailing.

Thanks everyone for the comments.  Good point Predator, I can’t wait to fly it again to see what it looks like in the air 🙂

That is a great solution regarding the clear polyurethane Moose.

I also noticed that the blue over green changed colour and I was wondering how to get around that?

Maybe a layer of white and then the blue?

I sort of cheated with the circles and used a template.  I didn’t think my hand would be steady or accurate enought to paint a circle.  The blue and red colour was vibrant on the white template.

I sort of wish I had done art in school now 🙁

What magnificent videos! 🙂

Thanks to all the videoographers. You have all done a terrific job.

After being inspired by the cardboard Spitfire, I checked out the Flite Test site to see what plans etc are available.

Here is a starting page for different model planes where you can find free download plans for some of them:

Another thing that is worth considering.  Flite Test sell laser pre-cut kits at a very cheap price which takes a lot of the hard work out of building these things. Here is a link to their store. It’s worth having a look. I have targeted a couple that I would like to try 🙂

One last link for recycling your old cardboard pizza box:

Have fun everyone.

Are these servos any good for you Hoppy?

<p style=”text-align: left;”>As usual, great videos Kermit.  Looks like it was a cold day.</p>

Thanks for your input Uncle G. I didn’t know laptop batteries wouldn’t deliver enough current.
