Small fun fly electric plane with removable wings

Apr 24, 2007 5 Replies

I have been flying the cougar 2000 for some time and really enjoy it. I have a very small car (Ford Ka) and cannot get even a shock in the boot. I'd like some suggestions on an electric fun fly plane with about a 1m wingspan that has removable wings so that I can keep it in the boot and fly in a local park etc. I've not ventured into electric's before but will probably go straight in at the deep end with a brushless li-po system from the start. I have a li-po compatible charger already and am looking for a budget setup if possible (without sacrificing too much performance). All suggestions greatly appreciated.

Hi,

I have an Aero Cruiser 3D. Just under 1 meter, removable wings (tho I leave mine on). Details can be seen at

I use this cheap motor

All up, with a 1350mAh 3S Lipo, wights 545grams. With that motor, and

9x3.8 prop, produces over 650grams of thrust.

Goes vertical forever :-)

You could try this tiny little stuff -

- no need to take the wings off! - but they are deceptively difficult to fly and don't like wind. cheers Dick

These micros look amazing, but I don't think they'll be suited to outdoor fun-fly type flying. Thanks for the link anyway. BTW are there any videos of these models in flight?

I've come accross the Blue Arrow flix-3dx. Does anyone have any experience about kit quality ect there does not seem to be too many reviews on their stuff. Again any comments appreciated.
