Frank Skilbeck Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Well my 3 yr old Kyosho Minium Citabria final bit the dust the other night when it mid aired with my helicopter (don't ask) Has anybody made there own indoor model using the electronic and motor from one of these. I've bought some stiff card and was going to see it I could put a simple profile model together, has this been done before? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r6dan Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 I made a depron profile from the bits out of my mini super cub and it flew fine! I have a load of depron profile type pdf`s if you need some plans. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gaz Elliott Posted January 16, 2011 Share Posted January 16, 2011 Sounds good Dan. Could I get a copy. I tried replacing the wing with balsa but it was a tad heavy. Will rip out the guts if you have a copy of the plan . Where do you get your depron?? Gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alan Randall Posted January 28, 2011 Share Posted January 28, 2011 Micron do some nice Stevens kits for indoor for around £25 that take Parkzone kit. It is probably possible to substitute Kyosho it instead. Look at - http://www.micronradiocontrol.co.uk/model_ar6400.html I built the Liddle Rod and it flies very nicely. Its also worth looking at -http://www.stevensaero.com/UltraMicro-2.4-DSM2-p-1-c-336.html which is the Stevens site in the US. They often have downloadable illustrated build instructionss that you dont get with the kit. The Kits are laser cut balsa and each stage clips together first before gluing with cyano.

Frank Skilbeck Posted January 28, 2011 Author Share Posted January 28, 2011 Alan Thanks, I'd already looked at the micron site and was tempted, but these have given me some inspiration to try something similar out of card. But for now with a bit of the card I've eeked one more session out of the Citabria and it's still going. I also picked up a spare fuselage (inc radio and motor) wing and tail set for the Cessna, just trying to chase down some props and when I get that going I'll finally retire the Citabria and reuse the gear.

Gaz Elliott Posted January 29, 2011 Share Posted January 29, 2011 Can models suitable for parkzone also use the minium kit? I have the cessna 3 channel. Cheers gaz Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cyclicscooby Posted June 17, 2011 Share Posted June 17, 2011 I put my 4ch Piper inerds in a Guillows Cub.. Only just enuf power for my heavy build tho. I found that the 'Minium servo's had 'issues' with no load tho.. My Aileron servo started tuning PAST 90degs and going on to 180degs before it'd stop.. That was those stupid magnet ones tho, not the worm drive type.. Luv Chrisie... xx Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
