R/C Sci-Fi stuff

Faire: Bay Area

Maker: Adam Woodworth

Home: California, United States

I build all sorts of remote control versions of my favorite toys and sci-fi vehicles from growing up. Most fly, but some are based around cars, walkers, boats, and a few submarines. The fun for me is making stuff come off that page or screen and into life. Most of my builds are small, and use common materials. I like to solve the weird aerodynamics problems of these odd flying shapes.
