I've not had a micro before, but I thought I'd give building one a go. I didn't use a plan, but wanted something about 40cm wingspan. I drew one out on 3mm depron and hot glued it together. Unfortunately I didn't have any micro gear, so I've used 9g servos, a standard size 20A ESC and the 8ch 9x Rx. To power it I've got a 2205 1400kv motor. It's only about 20g, but the only prop I've got that fits it is a cut down 8x3.8 (to about 7.3x3.8). The smallest battery I've got is a 1000mAh 3s... I've run the calculations through an online tool to calculate wing loading, which comes out to 105g/square dm (33.81oz/square ft). So a little on the heavy side...
I haven't had a test flight yet. Here's hoping the powerhouse is enough to create lift with those tiny wings!
