Title: Slo - Fly Micro
Post by: rcforall on April 05, 2009, 12:28:56 PM
Hi ,
Built the SLOFLY Mini 3 D 28" with the Double side laminated foam .
Tiled plans down loaded from
http://www.slofly.com/showthread.php?t=26
( please remember when printing these plans to ensure you set the print to 100 %  othewise proportions will not be right
Wing Span : 22 "
Fuse including rudder : 27"

Motor : RCFORALL 2204/14
ESC : RCFORALL 10 amp ESC
battery : 7.4 V 2 S 850 mah
Prop : GWS 8040 / 7060
Servos : RCFORALL DYS 4.4 Gms and Turborix 5 gms  x 4
Receiver : Futaba R 114 F 4 channel

I have not weighed it but this plane does not exceed 200 gms is my feeling but will weigh it and post the AUW tomorrow.

This plane is awesome on 3 D and  a real funfly.

The double side laminated foam which was available with us till all got sold out is great building material.

The foam survived  a  real hard direct nose hit as well a a few hard landings .
Here are the photos .

Some more photos .
BTW this plane handled quite a stiff wind despite being so light . we fly close to the sea around 1/2km , hence winds can be quite strong.
