Quadzilla was born from desire for something totally different. I was thinking one day that everything had been done in RC: helis, jets, scale, pattern—even twin pattern models! So what haven't I seen? A four-motor sport pattern bird! This would be a nightmare with glow but easily accomplished with electric power. How to keep it simple? Inex pensive brushed motors would only require one speed control and relatively simple parallel wiring. So using my multi-motor experience and some basic parameters, I conceived Quadzilla with a 50-inch-span, sheeted-foam wing and basic box fuselage. It uses four Speed 400 or "long-can" 480 motors, a single 45- to 55-amp speed con trol and a 3-cell, 3700mAh LiPo. I bought all the supplies from prop-shop.com.
