I converted my jdrones quad to a basswood-based quad after a crash. Its flight was pretty smooth. Converted to a basswood Y6, which worked for a few flights then eventually the wood started to fatigue a bit (vibration) since I had thru-hole mounting...
As the saying goes, if it has a CD (coef. of drag), you can make it fly.

:) drone vs drone
Because "Drone" results in more article hits then "remote controlled airplane".
why is this a drone and not a normal rc model?
Same as all of us: order them online.
I guess that chainsaws would be fairly easy to get, but where did he get his props? Did he hand carve them?
I would say what makes it impressive is the lack of resources in Afghanistan... Good to see some innovation.
