10 (RC) planes connected at the wingtips

Not sure what I am learning here but this looks like something the 15 year old me would have wanted to do.

Actually I still want to do this but like 50 of em.

With a lawn chair hanging below it?

I still want to strap a chair to a bunch of balloons and see if I can fly.

Now that’s a pay per view that I could get behind.

Don't put them in a V formation...they may head south for the winter.

This changes everything.

it doesn't get difficult unless it's a prime number.

Unless you're my daughter, who has to stop filling her glass when the fridge water dispenser is on an even number...prime numbers there are catastrophic.

That would have been cooler if they lit them on fire.

I'll bet the birds all be like WTF is that

 

[SixPapaCharlie]

I'm bothered that they don't throw it on "3" but rather "1,2,3" then launch. I hate that.

So each of the planes has speed control that is differentially mapped as rudder, and elevator that is differentially mapped as aileron for the overall plane.

So would that make this a warped wing control system? To back that up, it has no ailerons.

You're not the only one. Everyone knows it's on 3. Don't be that guy that does it after 3. You'll end up like these guys. Like making stuff I wish I thought of, and not failing.

The "explainer" video was far more interesting:

Very interesting, how many were waiting for the drone to mess up and take out the whole operation, I mean he got very close a few times. Kinda cool none the less. I will donate the lawn chair if Bryan is serious about this!!!!

Been done - we helped the guy launched out of TTA one afternoon and he spent the night floating between Greensboro and Kinston. Same guy that floated over the English Channel and did a bunch of Disney promotional stuff.
