Lets be honest, we all have dumped a hundred or more dollars in to a nice E-Flite or Hobbyzone indoor plane for it to fly great until it gets smashed when it hits a blade of grass. Honestly, those planes are more brittle than a dried up pine needle.
UNTIL NOW!
Introducing the UMX Cheap N' Easy, a revolutionay new indoor plane that not only flies fantastic and fun, but can actually be FLOWN and CRASH! No way, I know, its hard to believe all of that in one sentence; "UMX," "Indoor plane," "Can crash" but its true folks.
Now i would post all the pictures and instructions on how to build, but in this case there are way too many dimensions needed to do it, the article would be annoyingly long.
This plane is so good because it is durable, it is easy to make, it flies in a unique way: it loops, rolls, hovers(practically), and has speed. Actually I can fly it in my living room like I do my Night Vapor. Thats how slow and controllable this plane is. So watch the video, let me know if you build it!
It should be noted that though I did come up with the micro version, there is a big version of this plane called the Cheap N Easy, I got my inspiration from that when I built it a long time ago.
