Micro Planes


	Products > Micro Planes

This amazingly light Micro Plane is built around a revolutionary technology based on Micro Servos (Actuators) which will perform proportional flight controls while maintaining minimum total weight. This high quality free flight conversion kit includes all of the necessary gear to make this the ultimate micro size RC Plane and make you the coolest flyer at the next fun fly. Take off is at half throttle with plenty of power to spare. With lithium packed power you will enjoy flight times from 10 - 16 minutes.

This Sub Micro plane only weighs in at around 34.1g.
This Miniature size plane is the perfect indoor flyer. The Lightning craft is also a park flyer. On a calm day, the Lightening will easily take of at only half throttle (with lots of extra power to spare due to the tiny and powerful lithium cell) and will climb to over 150 ft. In fact the biggest challenge is following the tiny thing at such high altitudes. With gentle flying characteristics and some light aerobatics, the Lightning plane is a dream come true. Due to its extremely light weight, the Lightening is very durable. Crashes usually result in very little or no damage.

The heart of the system is the electronic board which contains the receiver, proportional electronic speed controller, and two proportional actuator (Servos).

The system weighs in at under two grams. The rudder and elevator are proportionally controlled using the actuators which are two 50 Ohm coils with tiny powerful magnets suspended at the center of the coil.

The Hinges are small pieces of tape which enable the rudder and elevator to freely move to the force of the magnet. The actuators connect into a socket on the receiver. The receiver operates at a 72Mhz band. Also available are crystals for the receiver with a full range of channels from 11 - 60. The system will operate off of any inexpensive 3 channel radio transmitter. The motor speed controller is also proportional and the complete system will operate on lithium cells ranging from 135mAH to 230mAH giving you all the extra power you demand.

	Small enough to fit in your hand but yet will out performs most indoor flyers. The lightening will easily take off at 1/2 throttle and will climb at 45 degrees angle with no problem at all.

	Question: Will the Micro Electronics work for a custom project ? I am interested in making my own version of a radio controlled Micro flyer or converting an existing free flyer into a full proportional flying machine using the receiver / ESC and actuators used on the Lightening kit.


	Answer: You will be happy to know that that the high quality electronics and crystal are available separately and can be easily migrated into any custom application from the famous free flight stealth bomber to a custom flying blimp using common helium balloons. With this amazing new technology the “sky is the limit” ... or is it ...

No special tools required to put the kit together other then an exacto knife and some tape. Normally the kit can be constructed in one evening and the radio setup is extremely straight forward with no special mixing requirements.

The link to the right is the on-line version of the instruction manual and will give you a good idea what it takes to get a laser cut high quality free flyer into a beautiful flying micro machine.


	A Magnetic actuator works the same way as an electric motor. Current passes through the coil and the magnetic field created will allow to pivot around the axis. Reverse the current and the opposite electromagnetic poles will reverse the motion.

	Micro Servos make this Hi-Tech Radio controlled Micro plane a dream come true. Actuators torque is proportional and smooth just like conventional servos.
