Video – The 1.34 Gram Indoor Remote Control Plane

Tweet

Weighing in at a mere 1.34 grams, which is considerably lighter than the Carbon Butterfly (which is already lighter than its equivalent size in paper), this indoor remote control aircraft, which comes complete with its own means of propulsion in the form of a propeller, is crafted from painstakingly shaved balsa wood and extremely thin aluminium foil.

Only one slight drawback as, from what we can gather, the plane has no rudder, elevator or aileron control so is only able to circle the room – albeit rather gracefully. Additionally, with its diminutive weight in mind, it’s reserved for indoor use only as even the slightest of breezes could reap devastating results.

You can view the 1.34 gram remote control aircraft in action in the video featured below.
