kevin wild Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Hi The Bmfa dart is a clasic so I've thrown one together for the indoor season 14" wingspan 25g all up weight elevator, rudder and throttle unit from a park zone micro Mustang Flew her a couple of weeks ago and I was very pleased with the flight performance. first off it's very stable. I trimmed a little left rudder balanced the throttle. removed my fingers from the sticks and watched it perform 3 perfect circles of the hall. open the throttle up and it'll turn and loop in a very small space I'm off to the indoor club again tonight and I will get some video Edited By Steve Hargreaves - Moderator on 21/11/2012 09:41:41 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Andy Ennis Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 That looks great, you should do a build thread, or a magazine article! Come on Mr. Ashby, get it arranged! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kevin wild Posted November 20, 2012 Author Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thanks andy I didn't take any build photos. the only bit that takes any care is getting the dihedral correct (1" at the wing tips) it all clips together so to speak. I used canopy glue througout. just because I had some and it's very strong It's all 2mm depron apart from the front doublers that support the motor and wing. these are 2 pieces of 6mm Here's the cutting plan if anyone wants one **LINK** if you have a go and you intend to colour it with marker pens as i did then do this before gluing all the bits together. it's not easy when built have fun Kev Edited By kevin wild on 20/11/2012 18:52:08 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stephen Jones Posted November 20, 2012 Share Posted November 20, 2012 Thats nice Kevin , Looks just right for a spot of indoor flying , Well done I think the trick with indoor Rc is getting the weight right and with the light weight recivers that have built on servos is the way to go .

Jan Bassett Posted March 7, 2014 Share Posted March 7, 2014 Better late than never, I laid all the parts on an A3 sheet and produced a PDF. I couldn't see anyway of uploading the PDF here so added to my site and included the link below. Hopefully someone finds it useful. **LINK** Jan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
