    Excellent! My first thought was, instead of tail wings on the back, how about a ring about 3" larger in diameter, and about 3-4" long with four standoffs. The standoffs (which of course would be located between the cylindrical body and the outer circle) could incorporate control surfaces for yaw and pitch.

    Kudos to the crew for some excellent pictures. Josh, excellent video. You brought up some interesting points: a) even a crash is a learning experience, we often focus on the positive outcomes and sometimes disregard the negative ones. Secondly, working with foam core allows for those negative , and often more important results, to come at a very low price compared to conventional construction.

    Maybe try a Bullet Bill with no wings, but use an EDF motor (or just an interior mounted prop with an air inlet in the center of the nose) in the center and if the whole object spins along it's axis it may fly stable

    Love the video! New inspiration for a video; flying Mario Cart race. Use anchored balloons for the track. Build flying Mario carts.
