Post by: roopeshkrishna on February 12, 2012, 07:55:19 PM Good evening all Friends..Modelers.. micro crafts always fascinates us all..and i got some inspirations around me..so, now, i wishes to add some micro crafts in my model collection line..its all goes in to 1:144 scale aircrafts, trains and more..but still water crafts have its own identity..so, i got a little spare time, after spending time with my aero and ship modeling students..morn..so, it was a little time to make a micro craft..so, my Micro Cat born..she is my new micro racer..catamaran..so, tiny but with immense power in its class..
And, thinking always about the endless possibilities of paper in model making..how easy it all..so i took about an hour to make this one from 0 to pool..she is powered by a system, from a scarped helicopter..and i powered its TX with more powerful L E D s , for long range..

in video, model was continuously rotating..i think there needs something to be done with motor speeds or it needs some trimming, or you could have added a fixed rudder or fins. how do you steer the model? Title: Re: its my MICRO CAT....the micro catamaran racer... Post by: roopeshkrishna on March 19, 2012, 01:08:36 PM Abhay..this one is steerable.. but, i shot it in round orbit because of two things.. at first this one is powered by an Infrared control..at daytime, in sunlight the effective range will be less.. secondly, at the time was struggling with backpain.. :giggle: except, it is steerable, with thrust variation.. of motors..
