An “electrostatic lifter” is a great science-fair project.  Shanni successfully built one in 3rd grade.  The lifter is shown flying (above) with a 30kV supply.

  Carbon Fiber Rotor Blade Set by RC-PLAY INNOVATIONEN.  These blades make flying outdoors a pleasure.  They improve stability and greatly reduce vibration.  They don’t break when touching grass, and don’t need sanding every time that you nick them.  One warning though:  don’t fly indoors with these, and be very careful because they can slice through flesh!  Despite their cost, I highly recommend them.  A solid 5/5!

I added a few extras to my DF-V-Ti.  These are my unbiased* mini-reviews and ratings for these accessories:
