A 15-Foot Long Flying Star Destroyer Brings us One Step Closer to the Real Thing

Amongst all the toys break onForce Fridayback in September were some of thefirst flying Star Wars droneseasy enough for kids to navigate . The same ca n’t be said about this impressive15 - foot long Star Destroyer , though . Even its Creator had a gruelling time keeping it airborne .

Made mostly of insulating froth panels held together with Gorilla Glue and copious sum of packing tape , the 15 - human foot long Star Destroyer was powered by three motor - drive propeller while a brace of servos adjusting flaps on the ship ’s trailing edge . The giant RC wiliness was also quickly detailed with a can of Rustoleum spray paint giving it that recognizable grey Star Destroyer ending .

Amazingly the giant replica actually flew for a short while after being launched from the back of a flatbed hand truck — just not well . It stayed aloft for quite some sentence before rolling over in mid - air and eventually returning to ground with a less - than - refined landing . What ’s important , though , is that humanness is officially one tiny step nearer to building a tangible Star Destroyer and eventually oppressing the galax we call home . [ YouTubeviaMake ]
