FT Mighty Mini Tiny Twig

[LitterBug]

I‘m pretty sure that’s a 9x7x3 prop right there…. much too big for that small of a plane.

Torque roll is FUN!

Believe me, I know torque roll 😆. It can be fun, as long as you know how to control it 🤣. And I”m not sure if a 2208 could handle that big of a prop anyway 😂

It would depend on the KV.....

Thank you any recommendations for the motor size on 3s?

2205 2300kv, with a 6x4.5 prop 👍

Thanks again

 

[Mr Man]

Of course 👍

Next question, just started my build,I only got the basic kit. I have no "linkage stoppers." Was that something in one of the add ones or missing in my kit?

 

[AIRFORGE]

It appears they are not included in the kit.

Got mine fully built. Was missing the rubber bands but no big deal. Was very easy to build following the video. Anybody reading, buy the power pack and linkage stoppers. Maybe you'll save $5 piecing together your own power pack but it isn't worth it.

I didn't even think to see if mine had rubber bands. Gotta check later. Thanks.

I think I'm going to attempt one of these as my first build. This will be my second plane after my Hobbyzone Champ. I watched the build video, and it looked like the horizontal tail section, with the leading edge made from paper rolled around a barbecue skewer, gave Josh a bit of trouble. Has anyone had issues with that part of the build?

That part it easier than it looks. Just use your table to properly roll it.

Thanks for reassuring me!
Just a couple more questions for anyone else who has built one:

1) If I get myself a RadioMaster/Flite Test CC2500 and I want to fly the Tiny Twig as a 4 channel airplane, will the R84 V2 receiver work out fine? If not, which receiver will I need?
2) Will I need to install the shelf for the FT Aura if I'm not planning on using one?
3) Which linkage stoppers will I need? Two different ones are listed in the store, although from the look of things it they may be the same part twice.
4) How do I tighten the screws on the linkage stoppers for the rudder and elevator once the fuselage is folded up?

Sorry if these are silly questions, this will be my first FT build.

I can't help with 1. For 2 I'm not using the aura but I installed it so I had a place to mount my esc and receiver.
I bought and had to slightly modify Dubro linkage stoppers to work. I would buy whatever may be smaller in the ft store.
You'll be able to access the linkage stoppers to center and tighten them once it's folded.
Two things I did learn when building it are make sure all the foam is removed where it tells you to remove it or the fold won't be square. And make sure your wing servos are in the correct spot before glueing them in. I had mine switched and had to cut the wing a bit ago I could access the servo horn and screw.

Here are pics of both

Perfect, thank you! I had the rudder/elevator servos mounted perpendicular to that in my head.

they come in the power packs

The r84 is frsky d8, so yes

Thanks Billy! I appreciate it.
