Another Fun project inspired by the 1963 Article in Popular Mechanics for the Free flight .049 powered Hoop skirt by Roy Clough Jr, I decided to make my own version, only Radio controlled! This is the build and the flight test. Thanks for watching and please subscribe to see more. Dave Herbert AMA L-8221 LM/CD/Scientific Div.

Love it! Nothing like a lamp to light up the night sky.
NightFlyer Dave; You sure can make anything Fly & Great ideas making it ! Thanks for the Video !
"Fun project sir! :D I liked that.. It did turn out to be a bit of a high-alpha plane huh? :)
Any changes made for the next flight?"
Very cool, always love your videos. Were the wings foam?
"Hi, Dave. Could you tell if it was trying to roll while it was tethered? I guess if a bumble bee can fly, just
about anything will! lol Good luck with it."
Loved it Dave, can't wait for the tether less flight!!
Hi Dave, a few months ago I said I was going to send you some rc gear but for unseen circumstances it didn't happen until now. About five packages will be arriving on Monday I hope you can use some of the things or find a home for them. Thank you for all the great videos. Tom
I dig this Idea!!!! Like I say, " You only learn if you experiment, never be afraid to try!!!"
"Very intresting build Sir looking forward to seeing updates
Added to diy rc planes maiden playlist ??"
I saw a lot of weird airplanes but this one takes platinum :-D
"WOW! Lamp-Shade Tethered Flight and especially how you made it, but now Ilea is looking for her lampshade and wondering what's next; will it be her kitchen sink?
LOL~ Bud"

Great fun Mr. Dave.....cannot wait for the next video.
love the tether test idea
Dave, If there was anyone that could come up with the idea that a Lamp Shade could fly I would have to say it would be you. It will be interesting to see it fly untethered .
Awesome, Dave. :-)
"Looking at my subscription list and then... Bam! ...look like we got a new night flyer!
Is it sponsored by IKEA? Hahaha ;D"
Thats great,who said lamp shades are just for partys?
Yessaahh!! It flies, It Flies, IT FLIES!! Nice job! That saying about it not being stupid if it works popped into my head about 2 seconds before you said it on the video! -Twilight Zone Music-.....
First thing I thought of was the Custer Channel Wing from the 1950's....!!
