I remember the Gnat. I believe it was a Ken Willard design using a Cox .010.
For it's time, it was an amazingly small R/C plane.

I am also interested in the plans, if you have them.

It was designed by D Maclain in 1964
.
Plan attached.. get building .. lets have a swarm of Gnats world wide...

Shaun

Has anybody got the Bat plan they can post or or any other vintage micro planes we could adapt for the 6400 / 6300

All of my scratch builds are just cut from tracing out shapes by sight and measure.. Sorry, no plans.
I use a #11 blade for cutting.

Nice! Fun watching an overpowered little bug fly around.You pulled right out of that hover like a rocket!

My styker died. The tiny linear servos didn't have enough throw to keep it in the air (only 4mm at best, 20in model not enough). Now what should I build?

a gnat

This version, entirely made of Depron (mostly 3mm), is originating from earlier profile-type prototypes and still uses a flat profile wing.
-wingspan: 30cm
-length: 15cm
-weight: ...
-AR6400L (V-tail mix)
-Kyosho Minium Ad Piper Cherokee motor (6mm) and prop.

The interior fuselage has two floors (upper; AA6400L and motor / bottom; battery trey). Each floor is ventilated seperately by its own intake in the nose and has its own out-take, that directs the airflow away from the airframe at the rear bottom (ok, that's may be exagerated for this model, but it was fun to build).
Attachment 4121899
PS the carbon stick at the rear is only there to obtain correct CG (I was wery surprised to finally end up nose-heavy).

hehe, it's like a little baby alula.

Shaun,
Thanks so much for the Gnat plans. I already have it framed up. All Balsa
except 1/16" Ply for the firewall. 5 gram BL motor, AR6300 with single
rotary servo that will turn a torque rod to the rudder, just like we used to do it.
Hard to believe they flew that at 4 oz., but with at TD .010 it probably really
zipped.
I have a Jr. Falcon that I did the same thing, even painted it just like the pic
on the box.
Will post pix when it is done.

i was looking around in my parts bin, and i saw that i have an old champ brick and a t-28 motor, and i was thinking of putting it in this? what do you guys think?
