After making my Micro-1, I continued my experiment, with 60% more wing area than Micro-1 resulting in MICRO-2.
The AUW is 53.6 grams.
The gear:
1. 3.5 Grams brushless motor/ with mout etc = 5 grams
2. 0.8 Grams ESC
3. 3 grams 1 cell 240maH
4.Assan rcvr
5. Micro servos 2.2 grams each 2 nos.

Maidened it and it flies well, slow and steady, cannot take much wind and not expected.

pl see the build photos.

Please do consider posting sources of the electrics.  That would be very useful information for others :)

And also materials used. Looks like depron sheet (3mm) though. Source of depron (other than at the flying field ;-))) would be good to know.

here is a video taken today.
since i took using my crude Hatcam, the plane is out of frame at few places. pl bear with me.
Slightly windy and some gusts. still it flew very gentle and steady. On an absolute calm day or indoors it will be wonderfull.
I am uing a 240mah, single cell lipo weighing only 6 grams. With this i am able to fly for more than 15 mins.

hello sir nice plane and video
i have one doubt in the first pics you have cut 4 slots and removed
depron for reducing weight
and covered it with red sticker.if its not covered will it affect the flight
charateristics.

Ashta

thanks
surely dinil

Can you please post the motor used, prop and dimensions of the tail. I have a very old
Y-bar wing that I plan to mount on a slow stick fuse. May be I can bring this oldie to life like you have done here.

Happiest modeller I suppose on this forum - create what you like and enjoy flying your creations :-))

Ashta

Hello,
After an year almost, I thought of modifying this model to take 2 cells,  marginally modifying the weight. But with this it became so nice a model. Take off and landing are smooth. Pl see a video taken in the nearby park. A bit windy day, gusty so plane is being  thrown around a bit. It will be so nice to fly this on an absolute calm day.
This palne is virtually indistructable. Just thro it, it will glide and land. While flying,  just cutting the throttle,  will make it  land on its own. With two batteries and 6 grams esc, the auw is approx 75 grams.
thanks for watching

Once again the parts used are:

I used 3.1 gram motor
