I can't wait for the downloadable plans! Hey SPONZ do you still plan on upsizing the baby brit to be the same as the bloody baron? I've been wanting them also! I love flying my bloody baron and my baby brit!

Plans for the FT Mini Super Bee will be released on Wednesday.


The beta plans for the Bloody Brit are complete. I just need to build and fly it and give it my seal of approval before I release it. Hopefully that will happen in the next month or two.

Perfect timing for my fresh sheet of foamboard! (I live in Australia, I had to sell my car to buy it)

I wonder if we can get rasterize to make some skins!

.....I don't know how different the plans are from the bloody baron/brit to this.

Maybe we could try a mini gotha, although it wouldn't match the flight characteristics lol.

I noticed on the FT plans that they show 2 mini power pods, but each one calls for a quantity of 2. I am guessing that is a mis-print?

Not really. The labels are more for people who are going to make templates. When you pull the templates out a year later you're not left scratching your head wondering what the pieces are and how many you need. In the past, if a part was used more than once, I only put one of that part on the plans and the quantity told you how many to make. Some people have been asking that I put all of the parts on the plans (even if there are duplicates) so they didn't have to try to reuse any of the paper plans to make the additional parts. So this is my compromise.

If a part has a quantity of 2 or more, I'm including that part on the plan multiple times. The label will have the same part number for each instance and the quantity will be the total quantity required. That way, if you are making templates, you will only need to print and make a single instance of the template.

I hope that makes sense. As always, I'd like everyone's feedback on this.

That makes sense. I have been cutting with a CNC now so on the older plans I ended up copying the duplicate part in the drawing, now I won't need to :).

Thanks,

In the specs they indicate using 5x4.5 3 blade props. However, the only ones I find on their site are HQ 5X4X3. Maybe I'm missing something?
