Flying Wing Tornado? How fast can we barrel roll?

by MyGeekShow | November 8, 2014 | (0) Posted in Just Fun

 

The Raptor 100 is pretty maneuverable stock, but I wanted to see if I could increase the Raptor 100's barrel roll rate to an insane level. Do a rapid diving barrel roll and you have a tornado!

To accomplish this, I doubled the throw distance and eventually doubled the size of the the elevons to give it massive control authority with impressive results.

Hi there great video. I have just scratch built the raptor off the plans from your web sight out of ep foam it seems strong enough but the weather here is terrible so yet to fly it. One question. Do you have available the plans for the raptor 140c? I have some huge sheets of foam here and would like to build it.
