This channel is dedicated to projects both big and small, from free flight to general aviation. RU-vid challenged me to describe the purpose of the channel in five words, and I realized I could! This channel aims to Inspire, Educate and Entertain via Flight (oh wait that's six words). All ages welcome :).
With every project I hope not only to increase the knowledge, abilities and inspiration of the viewer, but of my own.
Think Flight: Lets start with the drones :)

Thanks for undertaking such a huge project. I too, spent alot of my youth flying the same little powered balsa planes and gliders. The dream of flight is alive in this venture.
I dont know what they are called, but Ive seen planes driven by rubber bands and those seemingly weighed _nothing_. Seemed much, much lighter than any composite for some reason... it was basically a sort of cling-film... but I guess they do have a frame to wrap it around.
I entered a paper airplane competition when I was in the 4th grade and beat everyone's flight time by 9 minutes. I used to make paper airplanes several times a day and the one I used made large circles and kept getting thermals that were generated from the concrete surfaces around the compound. I got first place and beat out people much older than me
You know, if you embed the carbon fiber strips vertically, they will add meaningful strength to your wings. Possibly enough to forgo fiberglass for packing tape covering?
sir you american guys are crazy 😅i can't even immagine go around here in italy like that every one will talking shit and say that im crazy if i do, and thats why i love usa so much😍
@thinkflight this seems as a great idea and more feasible than even terrestrial vehicles, to add to the portfolio to the companies involved in automous driven vehicles, like Tesla, Waymo, Cruise, Baidu, Mobileye, Zoox, Argo AI, Aurora, and Nuro
More elegant way to reduce wing tip, vertices can be achieved by changing the lift distribution from an elliptical lift distribution to be curved lift distribution. NASA test it some years ago with the project PRANDTL!
