Flying Sign

Description: “Sign, sign, everywhere a sign…”

Designed by Michael Blott, the Flying Sign is a delta wing disguised as an interstate highway sign. This easy-to-build model uses the power from a Pico Stick and foam board for the main flying surface. The delta configuration makes for a highly aerobatic model that’s exciting to fly.
