but how did make it to fly on weight 9 volt battery and weight motor?

Worked like a charm. It flew pretty fast too. We didn't use a pop can, but took a propeller off of a
broken RC helicopter and it worked. Otherwise, we followed the instructions exactly. Project
takes a little while, but is fun to watch the airplane spin around when it is all done.

Wow it won't fly ! it's too heavy, doesn't have any wings, and the batteries are not suitable.

I don't think it will fly.

I would try to make it........

halimaw962 years agoReply

Could this work if you used small button cells instead? Like a CR2032 maybe?

kvnfln9000 halimaw961 year agoReply

it could but the cr2032s might not be powerful enough for it to fly very far

Oh I didn't see that one yet!

haha: "Where is the microwave?!"

>< epic

and also dangerous; they should have a remote control to start the microwave :) especially when
it has explosives inside.

Bender will make it bend.

Is it just me or is the plane hovering in most of those photos? Does Barq's contain some kind of
anti-gravity property that I'm unaware of? If so, what about A&W?

Tecman_012 years agoReply

Mmm can be applied to a plane to scale???

what do you mean?

kinan Algag3 years agoReply

interesting easy

neoking19913 years agoReply

those one's of you people who think it's a trick, are extremely stupid
the hole idea is to have this "plan" hanging from the ceiling and when you turn the motor on it
will start to spin around a center point (in a circle)
and the gray wire is not attached to the batteries because if you have noted he didn't use a
switch so if it was attached it will run

but i guess you didn't read it to the end thats in case you were not too stupid to read .

somehow this instructable has 4.5 stars?

iminthebathroom3 years agoReply

Think people are confusing your instructables for an actual flying plane, correct me if I'm wrong
but what your trying to show how to build is a tether plane. The kind you used to be able to buy
at toy stores and most likely now only at airport gift stores. All the weight is suspended by
fishing line from a tether mounted on your ceiling. The prop turning would pull it through the
air, the fishing line would guide it in a perpetual circle. So yes, doesn't really fly, but its got
kinda like flying action. Still fun for little ones. Check out the picture.

how does it fly horizontally without any wings? this is. foolish.please be realistic.

Sk8terthing5 years agoReply

hey guys. What is that gray cord connecting the electric motor and the battery? What is giving
off the electric current, that grey wire or the copper wire?
XkidXhavocX Sk8terthing5 years agoReply
the copper wire is keeping it sturdy while the grey wire gives and recieves current

howie18 XkidXhavocX3 years agoReply

lollyXD4 years agoReply

i already hav a small plastic proppeler, is it ok? will it fly?

ALogan97 lollyXD4 years agoReply

it probably will, as long as the blades are curved pretty much like this. if its a hobby airplane
propeller it almost certainly would and so would a large-ish lego propeller

aequitasx134 years agoReply

what kind of electric motor is that? and where do you acquire it?

VagsmaCutter4 years agoReply

Man, I just hackensacked my cat Limpy! And yes, he was already named Limpy cuzz he
attacked a toy witch I had when I was younger. Although I can't remember which.
