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 PlansTM : Micro Models

Flight Line Plans are a well-respected producer of electric R/C and free flight aeroplane plans. Designs are available in several categories: Micro Models, Models for AR6400, SmartDarts, Flying Wings, Sports Aerobatic, Vintage and Trainers. Flight Line Plans also provide kit packs for some of the micron designs - these comprise materials, additional drawings and a cutting template. Some designs are available as complete kits.

These micro models are intended for indoor flying or outside flight in sensible conditions. Construction is mostly from thin depron with colouring applied using thinned acrylic paint or poster pens.


Flight Line Plans AT10

Overview:

The AT10 is a 10" (250mm) span micro RC trainer. AT10 is short for 'Actuator Trainer 10" span' and if you have never tried using actuators before or micro flying then this design is an ideal introduction to micro flight.

AT10 is simple to construct and set-up. It is powered by a 7mm motor supplied from a single LiPo cell. You can choose either the Micro Invent or Plantraco radio gear driving rudder and elevator actuators - although the plan is drawn with the excellent Micro Invent Minor receiver and MCA1 actuators, using the Plantraco 0.9g receiver and micro actuators is just as easy. Flight times are in the 13 - 17 minute range and the all up weight is only 14g.

It is remarkable how well this model flies on just a couple of watts of power and will loop and stall turn easily. The picture on the left illustrates the diminutive size against a standard Futaba transmitter.

The AT10 plan is annotated with building instructions and control setup. An optional pack of all building materials is available - see the 'Options' tab.

Specification:

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 10" (255mm)
  • Flying Weight: 0.5oz (14g typical, 11-16g range)
  • Wing Loading: ~2.9oz/sqft
  • Controls: 3 (Rudder, Elevator, Throttle)

Materials Needed to Complete:
The following materials are required to build AT10 from the plan and are included in the kit pack option.

  • 2mm depron (wings, pylon)

Flight Line Plans PT17

Overview:

PT17 is 17" (430mm) span up-scaled version of the original, smaller PT11 parasol wing design that offers a convenient and simple to build 3-function rudder-elevator-motor trainer for modern micro RC gear that is also easy to fly.

PT17 is powered by a '5g' brushless outrunner motor driving a 5"x3" prop supplied from a 2S1P 180 - 200 mAh LiPo battery.

Flight Line Plans Burd Dawg

Overview:

Burd Dawg is a lightweight cartoon scale version of the US Spotter plane from WWII suitable for the Vapor receiver module, Spektrum AR6400 or similar 3-function micro R/C to control rudder, elevator and motor speed.

The 15" (380mm) span Burd Dawg is designed for indoor or outside flying in light wind conditions. It is Flight Line PlansTM first 'International Project' and Flight Line PlansTM recognises the invaluable assistance provided by Ruediger Schmidt in the development and testing program.

The plan shows details of 3 motor options: a direct brushed motor; a geared brushed motor and a brushless outrunner motor powered from a single Lipo cell of up to 130 mAh capacity. Radio is specified as a micro 2.4 GHz system; ideally the integrated RX /servo/ESC Vapor module PKZ3351 or the Spektrum AR6400 which will operate a brushed motor direct or allow connection of an external ESC for the brushless option. Additional information is shown on how to connect and program the Vapor module, which can be salvaged from a redundant donor plane or purchased as a new replacement spare part.

Flight times are in the 7 minutes plus range and the all up weight is around 17 grams. Construction is from depron and balsa with colouring applied using thinned acrylic craft paint. Typical marking details are also depicted on the plan.

Specification:

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 15" (380mm)
  • Flying Weight: 0.6oz (17g)
  • Wing Loading: ~2.8oz/sqft
  • Controls: 3 (Rudder, Elevator, Throttle)
  • Flight Time: 7+ minutes

Options:

A number of options for Flight Line Plans Burd Dawg may be purchased at discounted prices. Selecting an option will add its price to the total for the plan. A hardware pack comprising depron, balsa and material for control linkages will be available shortly. Styro spray paint or Zig Posterman pens are ideal for decorating this depron model.

Flight Line Plans PE100

Overview:

PE 100 is a real fun hack whether you want to fly it just as a sports model or as a trainer. It offers a docile performance with 3-function R/C using the Spektrum AR6400 or Parkzone PKZ3351 to control rudder, elevator and throttle via an external ESC, all from a single Lipo cell. The model would suit novice flyers either for outside use or indoors in a sports hall.

With a span of 18.5" (470mm) it's powered by a 2g brushless outrunner motor driving a GWS 2.5" prop supplied from a 200-240mAh Lipo although 130 and 70 mAh sizes have also been used. The integrated R/C module incorporates the RX and 2 servos and allows connection of a single cell 3A ESC. Flight times can be in the ~15+ minutes range and the all up weight is only around 28 grams. Construction is mainly depron with a balsa/depron fuselage and local balsa strengthening.

Two wing variants are detailed on the plan; a simple flat plate section and the curious Kline-Fogleman section KFm2 which is no more difficult to make, yet noticeably stiffer. If you haven't come across this before it's worth the experience. The wing is retained by a couple of small elastic bands to offer a little more crash resilience and allows for easy exchange between the wing types.

It's intriguing how well this model flies on only 5 watts of power and it truly deserves the accolade of being 'Whisper Quiet'. No one could ever complain that it's a noisy model. Don't expect PE 100 to be capable of aerobatics, although it does loop and can just be made to roll but it's not elegant! It's best just stooging around or intermittently powering to height and gliding back down, or doing touch and goes off a fine surface. If you have space to fly from your garden, try it.

The PE100 plan is annotated with building instructions and control setup. ESC connection instructions are provided for both AR6400 and PKZ3351 (Vapor module) receiver modules.

Specification:

Specifications:

  • Wingspan: 18.5" (470mm)
  • Flying Weight: -1oz (~28g)
  • Wing Loading: ~2.5oz/sqft (7.6g/dm15g2
  • Power Loading: ~80W/lb (37W/kg)
  • Controls: 3 (Rudder, Elevator, Throttle)
  • Flight Time: ~15+ minutes

Required Radio Equipment:

See the Options tab for more radio configurations.

Options:

A number of options and two airborne packages for Flight Line Plans PE100 may be purchased at discounted prices. Selecting an option will add its price to the total. Please take care when making selections as not all of the options are compatible. Please read the AR6400 and PKZ3351 descriptions to understand the difference between these two modules. Take a look at the 'Package' menu if you need to purchase a complete set of radio gear - call or email if you are unsure.

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