David Ovenden Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I have been given a small brushless indoor motor and esc. I have some 9g servos available. So I'm looking for a suitable cheap foam indoor model. I have never flown indoors so am not clued up about what's available. The motor is Miniking V3 (95w max) for 2s and gws 8.4 x3 prop and the lightweight esc is 18A. Not into 3D and prefer scale if possible. I've seen some very pricey foam models that don't interest me. Anyone able to recommend something suitable that's cheap but good? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denis Watkins Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Believe it or not David, your power train is top end for indoor, as a 20" span I fly indoor just attains 50W and is made of EPP, so it bounces off walls more easily. Other models I fly have 3A, 6A and 10A esc 100 grms is quite an hefty model for indoor, and 20 grms commonplace You need to visit your indoor event to see the disciplines flown Scale in rubber power and ARTF, shockies, and slow fly. Depron is more usual, in multi thicknesses, it is the lightest material, comes flat, and easily cut.

Martin McIntosh Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 I no longer fly indoors but have some Click V2 3mm Depron airframes left over. They were powered with Hacker B-20L or CF2222 motors with 6 or 12A ESC`s, 8x4.3 props. Free, but you would need to collect from Aylesbury, Bucks. Better to practice with something like these since collisions and damage is rife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Ovenden Posted January 26, 2018 Author Share Posted January 26, 2018 Thanks for your very kind offer Martin. However, I am too far away to be able to collect. I'm not really sure that indoor flying is my thing at all especially as Spring is not far off now. I may put off any decision until the autumn.

Martin McIntosh Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 OK David, thanks for replying. They are still available if anyone else cares to collect them. The kits were at least £40 when new and one is an unstarted kit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onetenor Posted January 26, 2018 Share Posted January 26, 2018 Also remember Depron comes in various thicknesses and is easily rolled especially with the application of a little heat. A hairdryer or similar but no open flames Even a radiator would help. Cheaper glues for it can be found on line. Some big tubes of unbranded make are available as opposed to UHU etc. Anyway good luck and good flying. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
