Hello, the mini kits, probably a month, for a couple reasons, the biggest one being that 2mil depron wont be in until the first of august. But the mini sukhoi needed a couple minor refinements, the mini tib bipe is ready, as is the mini katana. We will see what else comes out down the line!

Thanks

Default RE: Mini kits?

I need to buy more batteries in a few days and I'd like to get something compatible with these Mini's coming out soon. Can you release some more information on these to help me choose?

I have an AXI 2208/34 that is "about the right size for shockies" that I'd be using.

How much do you expect these mini's will weigh before battery? What size battery would you recommend for this size outrunner: 7.4v, 730maH for example?

Thanks
Clark

Default RE: Mini kits?

Hello,

Your 2208/34 is a perfect motor and is what I typically use on my Mini Sukhoi's. You will need to rus 3s1p to get the kind of power you want. Your AUW will be around 8-9 oz, This is heavier than your shockflyer, but this plane has about 290 sq in of wing where the shockflyers only have 235? So there is alot more wing area for minimal weight gained. The plane has a 35" span vs the shock flyer's 28. As far as batteries go it depends on what your looking to do with the plane. When I go to indoor contesests, I use light Falcon Predator 380 3s1p batteries, But use their 880 or great things 900 3s1p for outdoor flight. If you want to be able to battle the winds go ahead with a falcon 880 or great things 900. Best of luck, Mini's should be coming soon Anything else let me know.

John
