I have a mini guinea pig downscaled 65%, 85% and 100%, and a guinea pig 100% and one upscaled 150%, all with 4 wheels, they are very stable and easy to fly planes, don't worry or be nervous again, double check everything before flying and nothing can go wrong. good luck!

This makes me want to build it.
Where's the MM Guinea thread or did you just scale it? I thought it was only full sized

I just scaled it, I do that with more builds, I just print the plans smaller or bigger.

 

[CorsaiRC]

Yeah

Maiden flight of this mini guinea cardboard plane ended after five minutes in the water. One motor stopped working and I was not able to save it from water. Have to build it again...

Too bad about the crash! How did it fly before the motor quit?

It flew beautiful. I was really disappoiinted. It can be difficult to find the richt balance with the mini’s because of the heavier Build weight, but the guinea has his wing far back, so there is enough space.

Was the motor under too much load?

No, I don't use stabilisation on any of my planes, the mini guinea is a very stable plane without stabilisation, even in very strong wind.

Oh how I wish you could have seen my MG's many suicide attempts. I'm pretty sure it had a strong latent Lemming DNA.
