Fly Powered Plane

July 5th 2007 07:23
Build Your Very Own Powered Model Aircraft. Using a razor blade, carefully split a match. Mare sure that you leave some of the sulphur, as it will be the nose of your aircraft.



Build the frame by gluing match sticks together. You can build a bigger wind of lighter wood and fit even more engines. Use your imagination!


Catch a couple of flies. Put them in a glass pot and put the pot in the freezer. In a couple of seconds the flies will be quite cold and motionless. Don't cool down your engines too much - it will kill them. If you put them in the refrigerator instead, it will take longer.



While you're waiting for your engines to get cold and stiff, drop some contact glue on the places where you want to place your engines.


Take your flies from the refrigerator/freezer. Place them on the pre-fitted glue pools.


Breathe warm air on the flies. A miracle is happening! Your flies that were frozen a moment ago are now coming back to life again.


Start the plane. If you did things correctly, it will fly! Sit back and enjoy watching the happy flies playing with the plane! None of them will have experienced anything like this before. ENJOY!



If you follow these instructions to the letter, this is the result!

Now to get the micro R/C receiver installed! For actuators, what do we do - apply volts to each fly to modulate the "throttle"?

I actually made something like this with a wasp and some juicy fruit gum - cool to see these graphics!

No. It's not "crule" or cruel. 'Cruel' is setting the match alight and watching the whole thing go down in flames.

Besides, putting a fly on this is like a commuted death sentence. It would have been killed but has now joined a chain gang.
