Built a FT Nutball. My wife promptly said it looks like a Ladybug!

Looks good!
The stripes are vinyl stickers?
Couldn't help but notice the FT Baby Blender in the background!

Crashed on maiden 

The wing folded along the centre-line in mid-air while doing a steep fast climb. Highly overpowered - 2826-1400KV on a 360 gm all-up-weight.

But the real problem according to me was I used 'biofoam' which did not have the backing paper on both sides.It was brittle, and just not strong enough. Repair was easy, will put some reinforcement and start again 

Prateek, I used Coloured thin packing tape!

1 hour marking  , 1 hour build, 1.5  hours electronics & controls

I filched the power pod from the Baby Blender - swappable means you got to swap 

For the non covered biofoam they best way maybe putting clear packing tape on the whole surface to give it a little rigidity and fibre tape at joints, control surfaces and cuts etc.

Where did the pilot and the cockpit come from?

Keen observation as usual VC sir 

Had the pilot lying around for some years. The cockpit is from some kitchen stuff that came in a vacuum formed card pack  . I generally purloin such stuff and stash away 

is that cockpit a jelly container?

Sent from a potato using a lamp - now mashed

sir this is a beauty to fly in small areas mines had an motor wire issue,like the pilot concept on yours .once the cg is located it flys great . i put clear tape all around the edges of the circle dint get a chance to rip then was thinking of getting back to it ....let see

Oh, it flew just fine.

But the wing centre was weak, and it could not take the load of some basic maneuvers. Anyway, repaired it, let's see this weekend 

nice

Thanks Abhay

The repair took around 20 minutes, just some hot glue & packing tape 

Here's a video taken today

Quite a fun little UFO 

 

That IS cute!

Very Very Very cute sir

 
This model is so cute... and flies easily in less space. very good finishing...
The pilot in the cockpit looks cool...

Thank you
