Halloween Triangular Flying Ghost

Built back in 2005

This is an old Halloween prop, while pretty cool, I only used it for a couple years.
  Only video I had with some outdoor action

Night flying at :44 seconds.
Some longer daytime action at 1:12

I had been tinkering around with the idea of making Phantasm's coordinate ghost system more simple (ie: cheaper) for the standard home haunt.  This system though would not be able to support an FCG as their indoor system could.  So, this is my page on how-to make a flying ghost.  Though an
axworthy system would be much simpler.

After modeling a few different ideas, it came apparent that the best, cheapest way would end up
using a triangle shape for the flying area.  The downside, well only half the area of a square area.


The triangle area provides these advantages:
  • Provides X and Y flying paths
  • The above paths would require only 2 lines
  • The above lines would require only 2 motors
