Plantraco Micro Butterfly

There is nothing like the tiny Micro Butterfly. At 2.6grams, it's the World's Smallest and Lightest R/C Model Aircraft as of 2007. Like all Plantraco RTF Micro Models, it can be flown with precision too! Design by Joe Mallinchak and Robert Guillot.

When you see it fly in the air it's going to give you a great big smile. As small as it is, it's fairly easy to fly. Surprisingly, this model can actually do better than some of the other models in the wind - it's a good penetrator. It does, however, fly faster than the Carbon Butterfly and so requires more space for flight - e.g. a gym. It weighs nothing, and this means its very very durable, portable too! It fits in it's own tiny carrying case and can be carried anywhere.
