The
Drosophile is a biplane indoor. It is small at 1 meter span
and light at 300 g. With
wings and
tail from
polystyrene foam, it is easy to build (and to fix!), cheap
and can even fly outdoor with only one wing (to increase
wing loading). You can modify it very easily, a
seaplane version has even been built (with a more powerful
motor). Easy to control and with good performance, an
(almost) beginner will make it fly.
The
"Hi-tech" XXS is Drosophile's little brother. Smaller (75 cm
span) and lighter (122 g), it can fly slowly and in even
smaller places. This author's Hi-tech version is made with
modern materials ( carbon fiber) and uses light components
to achieve robustness and light weight, avoiding however
ultra-light (and hence ultra-expensive!) components.
Therefore, there is way for improvement (see
mini-XXS)! As the Drosophile, the
basic XXS was created by
BAT-MODELISME (free
ad!).
