Thanks! I have not been able to find the original FT 3ch recently, but there might be another option out there somewhere.

so i built one of these for last weekend's indoor fly. i used the 2 channel ez set up and pitched the motors slightly up and it flew amazing! i also got on amaon and purchased a 3 channel p51 for around 45$ that had the servo for the elivator and two motors and has a gryo as well, so it should be great to transfer the electronics to this!

Here’s more if you would rather have something other than a Mustang.

Thanks, but I'm just looking at the electronics. There's a boat load of 'em via the zon!
Looking for single motor micro 4 ch setups w/gyro, too.

I bought the mustang just for the electronics, i flew it and it fly's really good, but i'm putting the electronics in a yak for sure... its about the same price as just the 3ch electronics, and i could get it now.

It's definitely more fun to fly with the 3 ch.

@AIRFORGE I noticed the scale bar indicator is not true to size. For example, looking at the file in Illustrator, one segment of the inch scale is only 0.8775 in. Is this intentional? Should I scale up during printing so that final output measures accurately? Or did maybe the plans get shrunk purposely, but perhaps the scale indicator was not adjusted? Thanks!

I am not aware of that and will take a look. 🔍 It is not intentional. I'll get back to you.

OK. The scale is incorrect, just as you noted (THANK YOU!) but I don't know if the plans are incorrect, yet.
I'm busy 'til this evening or sometime tomorrow and will try to figure that out as soon as possible. Either way, I'll post what I find.
THANK YOU again for finding this, brother! I'll post as soon as I know.

Real quick:
I had a sec to check, and the plans are correct. Scale is off. I'll correct this asap. ...More later.

 

[dmco]

Ok! Thanks for the quick reply. In that case, it would appear correct wingspan will be approx 15.25". I am going to proceed with cutting!

No. The plans are correct and are the correct size. The Inch/mm scale is the only thing that is incorrect.

 

[dmco]

Understood. Looking at the plans as-is, it appears wingspan will end up approx 15.25" (as opposed to 17.4" if I had resized to follow incorrect scale guide). Was just using that measurement to confirm in case others are following along or have already built.
