Tim Hooper Posted January 1, 2021 Share Posted January 1, 2021 I treated myself to the 18" Scrappee kit from Microaces. **LINK** The RC gear was donated by the earlier SE5a from a couple of years ago. If you're not familiar with the concept, the Microaces range are built from pre-printed 1mm depron that comes as a flat pack. Here's the fuselage under construction. The skin is being wrapped around the central crutch. UHU Por does the sticking. The wing skins are folded around a depron/polypropylene spar, to give a shallow triangular wing section. Here's the RC in the nose. Urge comes from a 1S 150 mAh cell. New Year's Eve - all ready for a maiden flight Easy solo hand launch. In flight! On finals. In short, it's a lovely little project (3 days to assembly in fits and starts), and flies equally well.

Steve Jones 2 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Guys ... you really need to be very careful with these kits .. Jon clearly coats the models during printing with a lawyer which makes them highly sensitive to the touch .. some would even say ADDICTIVE.. Currently my fleet is 5 and having built 3 others for a friend it’s out of control !!!! you have been warned .. lol steve Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
David Holland 2 Posted January 2, 2021 Share Posted January 2, 2021 Know what you mean, Steve, everything comes coated with a layer of lawyer these days Freudian slip or the dreaded spell-checker? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
