With the lack of a new plane and the economy I decided to build a new plane from scratch. Based on a Diamond Dust, it's scaled down (to a 24" span) and has a Mega 16/15 in it. I have a 16/15/4 in it building it but have a spare 16/15/2 and 16/15/3 too. All up 1lb even, should be fun...

That looks awesome, Evan! It does look just like the full scale Dust in those shots.

Nice work!!

For those that don't know electrics, a Mega 16/15/2 in a small pylon plane does 160+.... This won't be quite that fast as the DD wasn't the sleekest airframe.

A small pylon, disapears fast at 160. A .061 powered minidust and the original DD,,,

Evan - would you tell us a bit about the scaling down? Did you draw new plans?
Tnx - Lee

I had smaller plans for the .061 that I did at Kinkos. Just hit what % you want and it copies them. I took those and enlarged them on my home copier, taping together about 6 sheets. Since the ribs are on the plans I used them to cut them out. The DD is an easy build having four ribs... I used carbon arrow shafts for the frame work.

For the naysayers out there Evan posted 159.2 with his Sprint at the last Carolina Speed Rally.
I look forward to seeing the Electro Dust this year buddy![8D]

I don't think there are any naysayers out there. I test flew a little Kyosho ducted fan for my friend, I had no problem flying it, I just couldn't see it very well, and it might of hit 100mph. These little bombs disappear very quickly to 60 year old eyes, I wish I had my 30 year old reflexes with my 60 year old brain.[:@]

Very Nice Evan!!!!!!! I like the rounded nose and internal servo's!!
