The SkyFly by
FlyZone -Easy to handle and durable - One of my favorites and a great camera
platform Wingspan: 40 in
(1015mm) Length: 32.25 in (820mm) Weight: 17.3 oz (490g)
The SkyFly is a
push prop electric power plane that is easy to control with two modes of
flight - Expert and Beginner.
The
Intelliflight control that comes with it helps to stabilize flight while learning to fly
I unfortunately
dropped this plane in the water while recording video over a lake and fried
the original receiver. I replaced with a spare receiver from a Park
Zone Slo - V and use the Parkzone transmitter as well. The upside is
that it increased the range to 2500 ft. - I can't imagine this plane
at that range, but who knows!
The SkyFly
utilizes a sturdy tricycle style landing gear making landing easy and safe
to land the SkyFly.
Separate rudder and elevator controls on the SkyFly’s tail make it look —
and perform — just like control surfaces on full-sized planes.
Here are some
shots of mine waiting for take-off
Video Clips of the SkyFly
This was my
first attempt at an on-plane video - I used a remote color VGA spy
camera and
connected the
receiver to my
laptop using a Pinnacle Systems Dazzle DVC100 interface
This video
was made on December 22, 2006 at Oakwood Metropark by the pond - It
was getting late and I just wanted a little stick time!
