mini

I've been flying a mini tricopter with a KK2.1.5 board and it has been awesome. A while back I built an identical one but used a Naze 32 board. It always felt sluggish until I read that the "Rate" settings in CleanFlight has the same affects as "Stick Scaling" on the KK2 board. What a...

Hello Flite Test friends, I´am great fan yours. I already did the fantastic old fogey project and I really enjoy it !. Now my next one will be the mini series "Old Speedster" . But When I built the old fogey I had a doubt, : What would happen if I place ailerons in planes that has dihedral...

Hi all, I've decided that my next multirotor build will be a mini racing quad. I may purchase a carbon fiber frame, but traditionally I design and cut my own frames out of plywood. The issue is that I have no idea what makes a good racing frame, and I need your opinions. Here are my current...

Hi all, I finished my first build (nutball) about a month ago and had my first flight ever then. But it's a bit on the heavy side (210g). It was made from 6mm depron, since I can't get dollartree foam here. I'm now going to try and made a lighter nutball from 3mm depron, and use even lighter...

I have a question: If I were to glue a piece of posterboard across the bottom of the wing to cover the cavity and create a flat surface, would that increase the lift of the airfoil? I thinking I would only install it to the part where the wing turns up. Im looking for more lift at lower...

Ok, so have been flying FPV through my gopro for a bit now, built myself up a dart250 and some multistar elite 2204 motors... This thing is a beast!!! Anyway, I want to get boardcam, partly for weight-might get a Mobius, and also have heard too many horror stories about gopros cutting out... My...

I'm excited to see what the FliteTest guys do soon with their mini foam airplanes! In the mean time, I built a 50% sized FT Bloody Wonder! I used an extra RCX 2400kv motor, 12 amp Afro ESC, and 2 extra 9g servos I had laying around. It is too dark tonight to try to fly it but I'm hoping to...

Im still pretty new to all of this but I built a simple frame while I was saving up to buy a carbon fiber or G10 frame and in the end I love it so much I don't have any need to upgrade, at least until I get good enough for some detail to matter to me. So with no metal fasteners (only zip ties)...

Just watched the latest episode in Argonay and I would love to see FT design a mini quad! All of their other designs have been so simple and resourceful, a "Take Anywhere" quad would perfectly round off the FT multirotor fleet!

I recently got the Mini Super Cub from HobbyZone, but I haven't had any chance to fly it yet, which is a pity, need to get back into the hobby. Does anyone else own one? Flight characteristics, anything?

Hello all, I have plans to build my own version of a Spider Hex Mini Quad. It is still very much on the drawing board and I want to finalize the design until I begin cutting and spending. I do have an idea that I want to run by the community….. In my opinion, the best Mini-multirotor video...

Hello pilots, I need some help choosing some alternative motors for the Blackout Mini H Quad. The ones on the Blackout site are $43 dollars a piece! Any suggestions?

I'm posting this on behalf of a fellow pilot. He made a Bloody Wonder with a 13in wingspan and it is worth documenting here. There are some pics and a video of this tiny beast. Keep in mind this is the first revision or a prototype of sorts. The CG had to be brought forward a bit and there...

Would it be possible to have an episode on popular micro quadcopters? I know you just did the nano qx challenge, but If you did this could it be more like a competition, a "Mini Micro Nano Quadcopter Challenge" so to say, like the easiest to learn on, the the quickest, the most indestructible...

Finally was able to wire it up last night. Seems to work well. Just used some servo extensions and a balance wire to read battery #2 voltage. Not the smallest unit on the market but the price was right. I used some 45cm servo extension cables. Interesting as the system will not function...

IDEA #1 My name is Jonathan Hanson from Unalakleet, Alaska. I Love the designs that you guys come up with for scratch build swappable planes. They are amazingly simple and just flat out fun to build and fly. My suggestion to you guys for a future swappable is a piper/super cub or something...

This Mini Cool Ghoul is a smaller, simpler version of the flitetest cool ghoul. I am using the 17" nutball plans but will not be using the swappable version. I have created the swappable but I do not want to have parts mounted below or a fuselage. I will be using the exact same design but will...
