Awesome Back to the Future rc car

i don't know about 1/10 scale but they do make a perfect 1/43 scale roller that o gauge train guys use on their layouts. i have seen a few of them on different o scale train forums and they are awesome. they even make one for g scale too. here is a link to one

if you google "back to the future 3 model train" on youtube you will get a ton

I am an O scale model railroader and I have one.

Airworthy, it ain't. It looks like it takes all the guy's concentration just to keep it horizontal in the air. Cool project, though. You gotta give props to anyone who can fabricate that well.

I'm sure if he spent some time tuning the PID settings on his flight controller it would fly better. The shrouding of the props (compared to most other multicopters) wouldn't help though.

Actually, I think the fact that the majority of the weight, and therefore the center of gravity, is above the props instead of below is the biggest reason why it won't ever fly very well...and the lack of any kind of aerodynamics sure doesn't help.
