Default RE: what is the smallest?

Three channels micro plane. 1/72nd scale Eindecker, around 5 inch span, 2.5g total weight. 4x8 pager 30 ohms, 4:1 gear, 1.6" prop, 10mah Koichi lithium polymer cell muscle wire dual actuator, full flying elevator and rudder. Construction is milled down depron, no skins, thickness from .016" to .020". Coloring is all Tamiya acrylic with airbrush. Aluminum tubes for landing gear and tail skid frames, made from 1mil aluminum, rolled and seemed. Full dummy 9 cylinder engine that rotates with prop.

These guys specialise in small stuff http://www.aeronutz.flyer.co.uk/

Any time I feel pride in my building ability I think about these guys and humbleness returns.
