Fowl Flyer Scratch Build Mods, Flaps + Stabilizers

by TheChaz | May 31, 2013 | (6) Posted in Projects

My new mods to the Awesome Fowl Flyer.. I added flaps and better stabilizers to help the plane form rocking back and forth in flight for better FPV Views.. 

Heres a video of it all working.

All the steps of making it come alive

Is that the black Dollar Tree foam board? How does it compare to the white? They had one sheet last time I was there, and it was mangled, so I didn't get a chance to try it out.

I don't know about this plane ,but dollar tree black foam is thinner .The paper comes off real easy also. Over all I don't think there is as good of qc on the black when it's made. This is purely my own take on this. I use tons of the white and am totally happy. Foamies forever

no its not from the dollar tree but you can get it at a office boss or Michaels. The paper is like poster board on foam and i think it's better then the dollar tree board.

yeah the Walmart foam board will work too. it just make the plane a little more heaver, but crazy strong.

I love the colors on this, I have always liked black with a bright green for stuff like this
