MIA Micro-FLIGHT (Mario I. Arguello) Posted July 10, 2013 Share Posted July 10, 2013 Something I was playing with because I did not know what to do with a lot of foamboard. It was either trash the material or do something constructive with it. I chose the later and this is the result. I did 3 other models using foamboard and these will be posted on You Tube as videos are made when they are redy for flight. I have the means to do some very nice cnc airfoil blades, but I wanted to revisit my old way of making lightweight blades using foam or balsa and paper laminated airfoils I used back in the 80's when I use to experiment with ultralight rubber powered helicopters. The MIA MTG Slow FLY Foamboard model is not designed for looks, but for practicality and to test the construction while have a bit of fun at it. I used whatever I had at hand and no particular attention to motor battery and prop combination refinement was given. **LINK** The CG on this model is such that it requires the battery to be close to the center of the length of the airframe as the mast location sits a bit further aft the typical location as on my original Trainer Gyro of 2007 **LINK** Edited By Mario I.
