    Micro Mite

    Uploaded by

    Kalyan Prodhan
    This document provides instructions for building a micro RC plane based on the Guided Mite design. It describes using 1/32" balsa sheet for the wing ribs and panels, with the panels assembled to have 1 1/8" total dihedral. Alternatively, a foam wing can be used and sanded to shape. The wing is powered by a Mabuchi M20 motor and a U-80 prop cut to 2 1/8" diameter. Mini actuators are used with modified magnets for the control surfaces. The fuselage is made from 1/8" balsa sheet. Balance and flying details are provided.
