Micro Thread Index (the best place to start)
This is an experiment, a thread of threads. You post what threads in indoor and micros you think contain info so useful that they shouldn't be forgotten/lost.
I'll decide if you're right (  ) and add them to this message at the top of the thread and try to group them etc, this will keep this thread super short and easy to reference.Graham WATT WORKS WORKING PAGER MODELS WORKING MICRO BL POWERED MODELS GENERAL Picture Posting Guidlines NEWBIES: Look here for info on simple micro models SUPER STICKIES MICRO RC SUPPLIERS MICRO RC VENDORS (vendors of radios, motors, kits, equipment, etc for Micro RC) Micro RC Publication/Personal/Club Web Sites Indoor Flying Sites Plane Thread Index GOOD THREADS: Plans 17.5-inch Chilton DW1 by Graham Smith. This thread has downloadable pdf files with construction details and templates. The plane is built from paper and foam but could be adapted to all foam, tissue covered foam, etc. Come and get it - MicroMoth plan!! MicroPitts plans are here Profile Guided Mite plan My new chariot car powered Bit Bipe Quick Junior plan and construction article in the December 2003 Inside Story. The QJ is a nice stick plane for pager motor power and actuator control with a typical weight of between 15 and 18 grams. Sources of 3-Views thread. Sources of 3-views since these are where many micro semi-scale models start. RC Car Conversions Long thread with much discussions on bitcharger car conversions Bitcharger conversion Bitcharger stickies, threads created to show conclusions: 1. Working Bitchargers 2. Bitcharger TX mods 3. Bitcharger receiver mods Another good thread with a good link Bitchar-G / Bitcharger Secretes Revealed! A mod for adding a stick Converting Bit Charge tx to stick type rudder control Some more working bitcharger projects Succesful "Bit" plane Tadpole Bit ESC (BitSC) A speed controller for Bit models Wattage Micro Flyer Wattage Micro Flyer Mods: A summary thread for modifications people have made to this RTF micro flyer. Other Micro 3D a thread with discussion and examples of Micro 3D planes. Last edited by Graham Stabler; Jun 15, 2006 at 09:27 AM. |
