Fruitbat - homemade micro RC plane

The best result out of a weekend of micro plane building and flying. By now we'd got sick of making balsa wings though, so this wing is from an X-twin.

Receiver/ESC and mixing transmitter are from an AirRaiderX. Fuse and vertical stab are single piece 1/16" balsa with 1/32" balsa horizontal stab. The motors and props are from an X-twin. The motors are 6mm coreless.

All-up weight is 14.6g, and 100mAh lithium polymer battery gives 20 minute flight times thanks to the great glide ratio. Extension to AirRaiderX receiver antenna is essential!

Total build cost under £20 (including transmitter). For enough pics/info to build one, see http://www.wattflyer.com/forums/showthread.php?p=594003
