Awesome. These little micro planes are a ton of fun.

Maiden flight
Tail heavy and inadequate throws, but she flew! I put a bunch more batteries through it to dial everything in. Beta plans and more video coming soon!

Cool. Hopefully I can get around to building one of these this weekend.

 

[nerdnic]

I have a few changes to the plans I'll be making soon. If you've not started your build yet, wait for v1.1

I printed out the 1.0 plans but didn't get anything cut yet. I'll wait for 1.1.

What motor and prop did you end up with? Looks like you added in some right thrust as well?

 

[nerdnic]

I'm using the NTM now but I've got the hexTronic on order. Yeah a small amount of right thrust is needed.

 

[nerdnic]

Oh, and prop is 5x3. v1.1 plans have been added.

Impressively diminuitive. I bet sanding the leading edges would do wonders for flight performance.

 

[nerdnic]

On the first beta I did bevels on the leading and trailing edge. I will test to see if it makes a noticeable difference or not.

 

[localfiend]

I'm testing some other spray adhesives. E6000 may or may not have been a good idea.



I'm assuming the rest if the parts are posterboard? Got any pictures of the motor mount arrangement before the cowl went on?

 

[nerdnic]

The pod is actually poster board. Are you looking for a photo of the motor and pod installed?

That would make it lighter. And yeah, that's what I'm looking for a picture of.

 

[nerdnic]

Yeah, the pod doesn't need to be foam. Also, the battery wouldn't fit either. The doubled poster board works very well.

Let me grab a picture of the pod/motor.
