Video: Wow! Full Size Aircraft Flies Inside Building!


 Never mind that full-size for a Cri Cri is only a 16 ft 1 in wingspan and just under 13 ft long... but that does still make for a pretty big RC model! And when a model like this is built out of foam to keep the weight crazy low, you get such wonderful flying qualities. Did you see that video of the 10 ft wingspan C-47 that weighs less than 6 pounds? I just love these big and slow indoor flyers : )

 Hat-tip to my friend Elliot at Scaled for the link on this full scale Cri Cri flying indoors, and for that C-47 link a few years ago too!

 Keep 'em flying -

(btw, I drove 12+ hours yesterday to Oshkosh and back to get CampBacon staked out for OSH13. Same place as the last two years, just bigger, better, and currently it's much dryer than 3 years ago and much greener than last year! Bacon Parties, here we come : )
