Cheap Twin Fomie

Saw a $40 USD toy foam twin electric fly at the flying field today. No elevator, no rudder, no ailerons. Just differential thrust. Silly thing actually flew fairly well!

Wasn't sure which group to ask about them. But it sure seems more single channel yaw and thrust than anything else.

With power off fairly steep glide, full power continuous increasing climb angle did not see a loop.

I must have one. ;-)

Hi Grif, was it a KF606? I bought one and it was so much fun I bought another to live permanently in my van :)
Very manoeuvrable and stabilised too!

That sure looks like it.
. What a kick!

Friends son got a vintage electric ornothopter running... totally scary looking but flew well, climb, glide turn...

Frenetic is the only word I can come up with..
