Gnats VTOL By Fancy Foam

What else can I say, the Gnat is just one of those super fun planes to fly, bar none. 

Slow flight combined with the ability to take off and land vertically allows the Gnat to be flown in places you couldn’t fly most RC aircraft; like in your back yard or a large gymnasium. The construction of the Gnat is simple and the plane is fabricated from EPP foam making it very durable. The simplicity of the design also makes it easy repair.

The Gnats flight characteristics can be likened to a lightweight 3D plane. Slow flying but very maneuverable.When balanced and trimmed well it will lock into a nice high alpha flight and will also hover hands free. Intermediate flying skills are recommended. 

Here’s a fun video.
