Pizza Tray Flying Car First Test Flights

Decided to brave the muddy fields and give it a gentle test. I haven't recharged the battery since yesterday as I didn't want to risk it being fully charged and disappearing into the sunset. It didn't manage to ROG - Rise Off Ground - I only gave it one attempt. It did manage some almost level flights so it shows promise. I may try to lighten it a bit and I may also try a different propeller to see if we can improve it a bit.

They are just the packaging that my local supermarkets use for pizzas. I use them because they are free and would otherwise be thrown away. You could use any polystyrene or styrofoam packaging you can find or even buy foam board from model shops. The foam I am using is about 5mm thick.
