Snap&Fly – 3-in-1 Ready to Fly Airplane System

Foamboards

The Snap&Fly system is a 3-in-1 modular airplane kit that is based around a single “base module” which holds the motor, propeller, receiver, and actuators. This base module “snaps” on to any one of the three included 3-channel plane modules using magnets, and can easily be removed and snapped on to the other planes. Even the push rods for the control surfaces inside each plane module connect to the base unit using magnets. The planes are powered using a single-cell 85mAh lipo which have magnetic terminals so that the battery just “snaps” into the base module. Best of all, the kit includes it’s own 6-channel 900mHz radio with preset mixing settings for each plane (powered using four AA batteries) which also serves as the charger for the 85mAh lipos. Each battery takes about ten minutes to charge and gets about ten minutes of run time. These are perfect for flying large indoor spaces or outdoors on calm days. Because the system is modular, your Snap&Fly collection can easily be expanded and intercharged with virtually no effort once other planes or accessories are introduced. The each 3-in-1 kit includes one base module, one v-tail plane module, one bi-plane module, one canard plane moduel, three 3.7 volt 85mAh lipos, one replacement motor, one replacement propeller, and one replacement motor mount. The box also seconds as a carrying case with a handle. All of these parts can be purchased separately, even the individual components that make up the base module. Single plane kits are also available for those who’d like to try out the system, or for those who are only interested in one style of plane.

Cliff Hanger / Björn Gross & Josef Wideström

Location: , Sweden
Architects: Björn Gross, Josef Wideström
Area: 300 sqm

From the architect. This house is situated on a steep slope by the lake Aspen near Gothenburg. The direction of the volume is adapted to the topography, while the diagonal ridge opens up the interior living space and the terrace towards the evening sun. This diagonal cut creates a dynamic shape in three dimensions, emphasized by the dramatic cantilever – the cliff hanger.

The 19×12 meter wooden box, covered with Siberian larch, is cut open in order to create exterior spaces inside the box and let light into the building. This wooden volume is then placed on a solid concrete foundation that solves the height difference and works as an extension of the cliff.

• Cantilever box
• Diagonal ridge
• Concrete/wood
