The Micron telephone line will close for the Christmas / New Year break at 4pm on Tuesday 20th December. We will continue to process and dispatch orders over the holiday, but the turn-round time will be longer than usual. We wish all of our customers a happy christmas and a successful 2012.

Micron R/C is now focussing on micro and indoor models. The web site pages will soon change to reflect this and make it easier to compare kits and R/C components. We are having a sale of all products which do not fit within the new product range and these are available, while stocks last, at discounted prices.

Flight Line Plans Goolie Kit

Goolie is a twin motor 28" span indoor and outdoor EPP delta with a difference. Elevon primary controls with differential throttle driven off rudder gives Goolie an amazing aerobatic capability.

Goolie uses low cost CDROM style motors and budget ESC with two servos on elevons. Use TX mixing or a separate V-Tail mixer for differential power control. A TX with 3 programmable mixes can usually be configured for rudder control of differential throttle, e.g.: mix (1) 100% throttle to an aux channel, mix (2) 50% rudder to throttle, mix (3) -50% rudder to aux channel. The Spektrum DX7 can implement differential throttle but the DX6i can not and an external V-Tail mixer is required (inputs throttle & rudder, outputs to two ESC).

Watch the Videos of Goolie flying indoors and outdoors performing amazing aero tricks. Differential throttle allows for extreme spinning and knife edge performance - all without rudders! Read about Goolie on this RC Groups thread and this review.

The kit includes pre-cut EPP foam and carbon parts, control linkages, plan and all other materials required to complete the model. Just add the radio, battery, motors and a little glue to fly.

  • Wingspan: 28" (710mm)
  • Flying Weight: 9.5oz (270g)
  • Wing Loading: 4.4oz/sqft

Flight Line Plans Sqeek Kit

Sqeek is a 9.5" (240mm) span model for the Vapor receiver module or Spektrum AR6400. Sqeek supplies spectacular aerobatic performance from a single Lipo cell and brushless power. Although more suited to outdoor flying, even in reasonably windy conditions, this model can also be flown indoors in a large hall by competent flyers. Beware though as sqeek can move quickly!

There's been a revolution underway since the introduction of 2.4GHz equipment and in particular the super small versions now offered in increasing numbers with miniature ready to fly planes. Flight Line PlansTM recognised the need for follow-on designs to accept re-use of these items and are introducing several new plans based around the Vapor rx module or Spektrum AR6400 receiver.

Sqeek is powered by the hexTronik 2 gram brushless outrunner D1000-7700 motor driving a Tri-Turbofan prop supplied from a 180-240mAh Lipo cell. The Vapor module PZK3351 and Spektrum AR6400 integrate receiver and 2 servos and allow wired connection of an external single cell ESC rated at 3A. Flight times can be in the ~10+ minutes range and the all up weight is only around 20 grams. Construction is mainly Depron with a balsa fuselage and local ply strengthening. The finished model benefits from colouring with acrylic paint.

Sqeek is supplied as an 'Instructional Plan and Materials' which includes full size drawings of component parts and comprehensive build instructions supported by a materials pack. There is also information on connecting the ESC and Tx and servo set-up. This plan format has already been acclaimed with the Goolie design; we hope you find it user friendly.

As with other Flight Line PlansTM models, it's remarkable how well this model flies on around 6 or 7 watts of power and despite its size it flies in an exceptionally stable yet aerobatic fashion with an impressive turn of speed. Sqeek is capable of all rolling and looping manoeuvres and inverted flight and can be flown both fast and slow due to its light wing loading and high power to weight ratio.

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 9.5" (240mm)
  • Flying Weight: 0.7oz (20g)
  • Wing Loading: ~2.1oz/sqft
  • Controls: 3 (Elevons(2), Throttle)
  • Flight Time: ~10 mins
  • Power Loading: 165W/lb

Items Needed to Complete:

A number of options for Flight Line Plans Sqeek Kit may be purchased at discounted prices. Call or email if you are unsure of any options. Selecting an option will add its price to the total. Two complete R/C packs are available comprising:

  • PKZ3351 receiver module, XP-3A ESC, 10mm motor and prop wired ready for installation. The ESC is wired into channel 5 (gear) so you need to use a TX mix to copy throttle to gear.
  • AR6400 receiver module, XP-3A ESC, 10mm motor and prop wired ready for installation.
If you select one of these options you do not need to select motor, ESC, prop or radio but you do need to select a LiPo.

Styro spray paint or Zig Posterman pens are ideal for decorating this depron model.

Flight Line Plans eek Kit

eek is an 18" (456mm) easy build flying wing offfering spectacular performance from a low cost motor and 3S LiPo battery. eek is equally at home in calm or windy conditions and is suited to capable flyers able to exploit the exhilarating erobatic performance.

eek uses a low cost CDROM style motor and budget ESC. Use 3 function R/C with TX mixing to control elevons via aileron and elevator servos or, if your TX does not support mixing, an on-board V-Tail mixer can be used instead.

The kit includes pre-cut Depron foam and carbon parts, balsa sheet and strip plus cutting templates, control linkages, plan and all other materials required to complete the model. Just add the radio, battery, motor and a little glue to fly.

Flight Line Plans SkyDart Kit

The 'SkyDart' kit is the result of a collaboration between Flight Line Plans, Sky Hi Products and Micron. It is a trainer designed to teach the basics of model construction and would be ideal as a first R/C model. The impetus for SkyDart was the need for a model suitable for use in a school project on flight.

Sky Hi Products have designed many of the models used in the BMFA Education Programme and have promoted model aviation at home and abroad through work for the BMFA and Federation Aeronautique Internationale. The SkyDart kit was designed specifically to support schools programmes for older children (Key Stages 3 & 4) and can easily be constructed by novices and flown within the confines of a school playing field.

The SkyDart kit is available here and also via the BMFA and Sky Hi Products. It is supported with a number of pre-wired airborne components to enable ease of construction and use. SkyDart is also available as a plan only.

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 21" (530mm)
  • Flying Weight: 4.6oz (130g)
  • Wing Loading: 3.8oz/sqft
  • Controls: 3 (Rudder, Elevator, Throttle)
  • Flight Time: 8-9 mins
  • Power Loading: 100W/lb

Items Needed to Complete:
The kit comprises all balsa, Depron and wire component parts needed to build SkyDart plus a full size plan and build instructions.

All of these are available on the Options tab.

A number of options for Flight Line Plans SkyDart Kit may be purchased at discounted prices. Selecting an option will add its price to the total for the plan.

Flight Line Plans RoundOne Kit

The RoundOne is a 12" span 1oz indoor and garden flyer. Ever dreamt of flying in your garden? What about looping and stall turning in your garden? Well now you can. RoundOne has been designed with stability and manoeuvrability in mind. The result is a model that can be flown in tight spaces with ease and a lot of fun.

RoundOne uses Falcon Models radio gear and with the recommended brushed or brushless motor setup over 40g of thrust and 10 minute flights are easily achieved. See RoundOne xl for a version that can use larger radio gear.

Although not specifically designed for the Spektrum AR6400, RoundOne flies very well with this receiver module, a 5g brushless motor and the XP-7A ESC. Alternatively, the ARM6400LBL could be used eliminating the need for an external ESC.

Watch the video of Paul flying RoundOne in his garden.

The kit includes pre-cut depron and carbon parts. Pre-printed balsa parts, full size plan, foam wheel, wire and all other materials required to complete the model. Just add the radio, battery, motor and a little glue to fly.

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 12" (305mm)
  • Flying Weight: 1.2oz (33g typical)
  • Controls: 3 (Rudder, Elevator, Throttle - optional Elevons)
  • Flight Time: 14 mins
