they are both fun machines to fly. I don't yet have a micro warbird, but I think I would enjoy it as well. For me, the carbon butterfly is great because of it's slow flight characteristics along with a great power to weight ratio. The micro is fun too, but you have to plan your flight path out a little more accurately when flying around obstacles, as it will lose altitude in a turn pretty quickly.

Whimsy model for micro R/Cby Goig3D4,963 views
flowers, especially ones with pointy or sharp leaves, will definitely stab through the thin mylar. That happened to me and it wasn't easy to repair.

Well done on the elevator modification!
Did you find that the elevator added any maneuverability? When we did it, it didn't really provide a substantial gain in performance over the rudder only version.
plantraco 3 years ago
Not really. The hinge-act just doesn't have enough force to be able to pull the plane out of a dive - perhaps I made the elevator too large? When flying very slowly, I noticed that you could turn the plane on a dime in a fairly flat turn, however. That was probably the only difference. Other than that it's as you said: no substantial gain.

cool. i have a carbon butterfly. does the modified one fly good.and on your micro does the battery fall of allot when you fly or crash

The modified one doesn't fly that well, but it can fly a LOT slower than the stock one. The CG is too far back, since you can't move the RX/Battery any further forward without serious changes.

I would love to see them flying (especially the modified one).
Good job ;)

sorry for late reply. I will try and get a flying video. Video recorders are not allowed where I work (design studio), and since that's the only place I really fly I will have to work something else out.
