Use Depron, that's what I would use. Make it look like an Xmod and use plane or heli parts lol. Take apart an Air Hogs Twin Thunder or Revell Fire Strike, make a car shaped foam thing(in the shape of an XMOD, and then put the heli pieces in it!

it's just accelerating them. to turn right i let up on the right engine one and vice versa. i'll just have one in each hand.

for all you people saying it will be hard to control, won't stay in the air, etc., you should know that it's not meant for long flights and tricks, it's entirely to do something new, whether it works well or not.

sorry for double post, but i just got caught up in a bunch of other stuff, so this may be postponed... if anyone else wants to try it, go ahead, but i will hopefully make one sooner or later.

LiPo.

Gee thats not spam is it? Lipo. Wow.

Back on topic, I love this idea, whether it works or not, try it. Don't give up even if you are postponing it.

You can wire up the motors to the same board, they would just lose power. You may need to go hobby grade, forget it, you need hobby grade and at least 4s lipo.

you'll have to use lipo, 6x2 stacked FETs and a crazy 12t motor in two high speed bb cans (xmod magnets work)
then you'll have to build a hollow depron fuselage and wing structure and everything. then your props have to be the right size and shape, there's adjustment for thrust alighment to keep the plane flying straight and level, there's also the issue of controlling this thing. it's be so much easier if you could link the motors and the elevator together so that when you add throttle, the elevator pulles the plane up a bit, and when you steer, it actuates two servos to move the airleons, rolling the plane.
then for stability, you'll want dihedral or polyhedral wing shape.
it'll have to be as light as it can be without falling apart when you pick it up.
imo it's really not as easy or simple as you may think.

i myself have an rc helicopter and i can tell you that the motor spins insanely fast. it has an xmod size 9 tooth brass pinion spinning a HUGE 4.5 inch diameter gear that's connected to the rotor. now how fast do you think that is?
