I need to watch the CoG, but I think the radio gear should counteract the worst of that!!

You should spend your free time (which appears to be every waking moment) helping the needy and the unwashed .... not building bastardised radio control craft/vehicles Rolling Eyes

You will all be pleased to know that the AirCar is now complete and ready for testing!! Smile

The throttle servo mounting took some head scratching, but what I have done works a treat - just a shame it means even more high up weight!! Confused

Oh and as for using my powers/time for good to the needy ... screw that, what have they ever done for me!?!?! Very Happy

Do you know what's funny??? I have fitted it with 35mhz gear*!! Laughing

Interesting Concept indeed.

Perhaps add a protector around the prop, like on hovercraft (A Cone could increase speed)

Also, call it aiRCar, for the obvious RC'ness Razz

As for the high CoG, bigger wheels? would allow the chassis to be closer to the floor (with some modding to the axles)

Demanding Video.

Blue_SV650S · World Chat Champion Joined: 27 Nov 2008 Karma :

Video I hear you say?!?!? Very Happy

Ok, here it is in action!! Cool

ACE! Now just strap some wings to it and a tail. And you could have the worlds first RC car/plane. OMG that would be soooo sweet.

Why don't you urn things around? have the prop pulling the car from the rear and steer from the back, like a forklift truck. Rear wheel steering, prop pulling the car.

Actually, I believe the next step is to attach a video camera on to this somewhere (once it's a bit more controllable) and have some fun with some unsuspecting pedestrians!

Maybe something on top of it to lure them in.... like money! And possibly a very loud horn if they try to take it Laughing
