Mini Quadcopter Becomes Paper Airplane

Several of us got Cheerson CX-10 mini quadcopters last year. We even bought some more to hand out as Christmas gifts. If you haven’t seen them, they are diminutive little flyers about the size of an English muffin. Thee’s no denying they are fun to fly around the house, and they do annoy the dogs.

However, like all cute toys, you eventually get bored just buzzing the dogs and cats. [JustforFun Media TK] decided that his needed a facelift, so he converted it into a paper airplane.This isn’t the paper airplane you folded up in school, either. This is a slick-looking jet aircraft.

Of course, it is still a quadcopter at heart, so–as you can see in the video below–the craft can take off and land vertically. It can also turn on a dime, as you might expect.

We’ve seen other pretty cool quadcopters, Perhaps this one isn’t as awesome as the SkyProwler, but it is a lot easier to build, too.
