Index 3
I recently built an Index 3. This is an indoor F3P pattern plane. I have a few flights on it and it is amazing. I think it is the most precise foamy I have flown. The Index has a wingspan of 800mm and the ready to fly weight is only 130g (4.5oz). The best part is that the entire project came in under $200.
I used the following equipment:
- E-flight Park 250
- Castle Creation Thunderbird 9
- Spektrum AR6300
- 3 x Spektrum servos (6g)
- 450 mAh 2S battery
- GWS 7x3.5 prop
Below are some pictures of the build and completed plane.
