SuperMicro FT planes?

[BridgeInspector]

Has anyone tried to build micro versions of FT planes? If so, where can I find build examples? Thanks

Never finished because my electronics are too big.

Not really supermicro but here it is. 65% of og plans or 700mm. 9g servos throughout with a 2826 2200kv spinning a 6x4. Don't have anyway of an accurate air speed measurement but it's fast. Comes. In at 400g auw with a 1000mah 3s

These Guys Have some Nice Micro sized Products, i Liked your Build & would love to see it Elevate, atleast you will Have something scratch built to Fly in the winter.

Like the micro spit man. Im almost done with my 67% spit with hobbyking funfight motor and 4s power set up plan on doing a mustang and B109 Swappable serious with the power setup. Frist time building them this small how well do they fly. Im normally a 800mm kinda flier

If you listen to the Flitetest Q&A from Flite Fest, apparently we might have some of those this winter.

Finished my 67% spit with funfighter motor and 4s and my signature power pod and battery mod

 

[nerdnic]

Looks good man!

 

[jayz 84]

Thank nerdnic hoping to maiden it tomorrow with the V2 mustang as long as the weather is finally good

 

[monterx7]

nice mod jayz, any other pictures on your power pod/batt mod?

 

[jayz 84]

Monterx7 checkout "nerdnic" 800mm FT mustang page he asked about my idea so i posted it on his page

On the 67% spit she flew great today with 20mph gust and pretty fast now for the other swappable

I slapped together a FT flyer the size of a mousepad, and with two standard paperclips on the front it glides at an acceptable rate.

 

[Montiey]

What about using depron instead of foam board for these tiny things?

 

[jayz 84]

You could use depron but make it just a normal park flyer nothing crazy like mine unless you plan on really reinforcing it. In that case you'll be better off with DTF but build one you love them this size

 

[Montiey]

I think just for the size DTFB would be too thick.. kinda like building a hand launch balsa model with railroad ties.

If your worried about weight take off all the inside paper parts of your plane. But foe the size of mine 28in im around 400+ gram and still slow stall speed and glides along way. Thats the good thing about the spit. I just started my 67% mustang. Not doing undercamber so it might not be as great with the weight. But use whatever material you like man they fly great. A blast in 20mph
