Pizza Tray De Havilland Mosquito - Part #4 - repair time ready for next attempt. No flight today, weather not suitable.

I based the plane on plans from here http://smm.solidmodelmemories.net/Gallery/displayimage.php?pid=4647

Main Components
-
Polystyrene Pizza Trays
Contact Adhesive
Hot Glue
2 x 2.7 volt 5 farad supercapacitors
2 electric motors
suitable switch to switch 2 circuits at once

This was the eBay listing for the electric motors http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/251480920143
The supercapacitors came from Maplin Electronics http://www.maplin.co.uk/c/components/capacitors/super-capacitors

Clearly many parts of the world do not have polystyrene pizza trays. 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.

Main tools
-
Sharp utility knife
Hot Glue Gun
Soldering iron

Filmed using
FujiFilm FinePix S4800

Edited using
Serif MoviePlus Starter Edition
