USS Enterprise Finally Flies

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the arm-photon-torpedoes dept.

apetime writes "Found on Slashdot Japan: Model builder Kaname of Kumamoto, Japan has built a flying radio controlled model of the original Star Trek's USS Enterprise. (Scroll to the bottom of the page for a video. Or go here for an mpeg, and here for a WMV.) The ship measures from 75 cm, and only weighs 16 grams. It's a wobbly flight, but makes you think what else in Star Trek might work if it were tried."

    yeah, it'd be nice if someone would translate the page so normal people can read it.

    No it doesn't. Fuck off faggot.

    Look, the thing is a god damn brick which flies solely because of the static thrust of the electric motor.
    What else there is to 'try out' from the star trek? Gay aliens? I think the show sucked anyway so you all trekkies can just kiss my ass.
