This portion of my website is for my RC airplanes. i've been flying for over 2 years now and have been doing micro (sub ounce) building and flying for about a year and 8 months. building big and building small are about as big of a difference as one can get. a simple job on a 10oz plane can be painfully difficult on a plane that only weighs 10 grams. its always a work in progress and there always seems to be more projects than time, but its a great way to spend some time and learn some new things.
below are some pictures of planes i have built and some videos at the last page. everything i have learned about micro RC was learned from rcgroups. there are a lot of very well informed people and more information than anyone could ever absorb. there are other forums as well, but i really think rcgroups is the best. thanks to everyone for all the help! i've recently joined a new RC forum, its quite nice SFA
all my conversions or builds have been powered by either 4mm-7mm coreless pager motors, M20s and N20s, a JMP rx/esc, efightdesign .6g actuators, 60, 90, 130, 145, 200, and 345mah lipo batteries, or the electronics from the ITC BladeRunner helicopter, the WattAge MicroFlyer, a clone of the MicroFlyer, other bit-car RX/ESCs, cheap planes conversions, or the new Silverlit X-Twin/Airhogs AeroAce planes. my newest plane is being controlled with a Nick Leichty RX, actuators, a 4mm gear drive unit from Billy Stilter, and a 30mah lipo (215 dollars worth of electronics for 35 cents worth of balsa!!).
