Default RE: Wattage Micro Flyer RTF

I found an old styrofoam fuselage that went to a rubber band powered model. I added some wings and tail surfaces and transferred the equipment into it. I had to make a new coil as I managed to break off a wire close in the old one and could never find the end! I made it like the little actuators that have a arm coming out to be a pushrod setup. I gained several grams of weight but it does make it across the living room/dining room pretty nicely.

Of course the wind has blown in the gale force range ever since. I have a bunch of foamys that I converted to brushless/Lipoly over the last few days that are waiting to fly. It calls up the wind every time.
