Depron Vulcan

My genius model building mate - he of the Javelin build - had one of these Silverlit X Twin things given to him - supposedly not working :p

So he sees an opportunity ;) strips the tiny working motors and stuff out of it and then scratch builds a depron Vulcan around them :-o :-o

Lo and behold a tiny light weight working RC Vulcan :D :D

That is tremendous. :ymapplause: :ymapplause: :ymapplause:

Are the tiny fans external at the trailling edge or buried inside?

One Olympus 301 has twice the power of a complete F1 starting grid.
XM655 has four of them, all serviceable.

No - actually its little (very tiny) motors with very small propellers - there are slits in the wings and the motors turn the props in the wing centres ..... sort of like this .....

If you look closely you may be able to see daylight through the wing centres on the videos....

Fly your own Typhoon exactly the same as the Concorde he made for £25
