Lightwind Option

[nige]

Liftworx Micro.

What a fun quick and acrobatic little plane.
I couldn't get an Alula so got this from the US.
60 pages of instructions and really detailed at that .
About 5 or 6 nights to build, fiddly but fun.

Flies in no wind at all and being side arm launch you can get some awsome height with the throws.

At 130grams and thats with rechargable batteries ( they recomend non rechargable camera batteries) it is light but crashes seem to be light as well, and it is so responsive so crashes are able to be averted at the drop of a hat.

I have flown it in those light offshore breezes in the mornings which sometimes drop to nothing and get some great little flies in.

I flew it when there was enough to fly my wing and it is supprisingly fast for its weight but you have to watch out as it turns so quickly.

I don't know how durable it will be around rocks and trees. I fly at spots where there is a lot of long grass so I am lucky.

I'm impressed so far and it is such a buzz to fly when no one else can and at spots I never thought off.

Feel free to ask any Qs

Regards.
Nigel.

Thanks for putting that up Nige. I checked this little thing out at SC on Sat and it looks very good quality. I liked the logo embossed on the balsa! The price seems pretty reasonable, $129US for the kit with servos and batteries - not bad, not bad at all.

Andrew it is a neat little kit. I brought the Swift2 as well which I saw advertised on special for $199AU Not including servos and batteries or postage. My swift cost $170AU and included servos batteries and postage.

Fefix you can have a go, but it comes home with me.
