How To Make an Ultra Micro R/C Plane 

I've managed to 'convert/adapt' a few of these rubber models to electric. Covid killed indoor flying last year and restrictions on travel and gathering prevented other attempts to maiden. I have the Vintage Corsair, modified with ailerons. Just about ready to fit wings. The whole process of build convert and fly is simpler now spektrum have the block receiver. You could even fit a brushless motor with some Rx boards...

Thank you for the video, we are getting amazing quality of editing for such small channel.

Even with laser cut parts, I couldn’t build that fast. Great kits and good value.

you did really well on designing the OG model,it's already aerodynamically fit to fly

great video, those linear brick servos work well with such small and light wight applications. well done

I've been looking for a ultra micro power pack, and you came it clutch! Thanks for the link m8!

I built a Guillows kit and put in the electronics from the UMX radian, it flies great. I wanted a bit more power for my next one so I took the electronics from the UMX Timber and am putting them in the Dumas walnut scale beaver. Vintage model co kits look nice as well, I'm going there next :)

UPDATE: Micro Power Pack 1 🚨 Unfortunately, due to supply issues from China, we are currently unable to supply the same micro power pack featured in this video. Sorry about this! The good news is there are plenty of places you can get the same or very similar electronics. Please visit the model product page down below for up to date info on where to get some R/C gear for these planes. 👇 ▶Cessna 140 Kit www.vintagemodelcompany.com/cessna-140.html

Thanks mate, that looks really fun. Keep up the good work. 👍

That is great I like the power pack for these type of models in fact I am looking to put in one of my older models

Beautiful job, dude. Really nice! 😃

Wow, that went really well, plenty of power and performance. Shame the weather wasn't playing ball as it would have been great to see how she performed with more space!

Very cool build and really great flight in tight conditions 👍👍👍😎😎😎

i truly love the way it looks! well done dude

que lindo avión, es pequeñísimo !! buen trabajo ;)

Nice video and a very nice little airplane. I had seen your models built on Cliff Harvey's youtube page and you've both caught my interest. Thank you.

Nicely done James.

Great work!

Very helpful. I’m finishing my RC conversion up and its looking promising. Where did you source the main and tail wheels?

The receivers are dirt cheap. I have 4 of them. They are a no brand receiver that works on a Spektrum Transmitter. They are feather weight light. The battery weighs more than any thing else. Now days you can get a combination receiver and control for the tail.This is a three channel system. Awesome video. I found a place that still sells the balsa plane kits in the next town over.

I hear you find all I have to do is turn my phone UP. AWESOME VIDEO

Thank you, great model !

Nice plane bro, very interesting. Love it 👍

Great Video

Nicely done thanks

very nice! thank you for good video!

Is there any ways I could get the blueprints for the plane, just fancy giving myself a challenge to carve and build the plane from scratch

would be nice to have a link for all the parts used i just want to make a mini rc plane thing but every time i search for transmitters and receivers all i get are the big ones non of the mini ones with mini batteries and motors

Oh that's a clever use for a cork board

Will this work with the reciver from the umx night vapor

So cute plane !

This is beautiful 😍

0:74 second can you give link of transmitter of reciever please

does the kit include every single component needed and shown in the video?

hi you do not mention batteries or where to buy them in the uk

I buy micro RC ARF’s and use the systems in my own scale scratch built models with superb results

Nice model 👍

Very interesting video, and a great flyer. Nice landing :)

Great video

can I refit a model plane into a remote control aircraft system?

Seeing as you did so well indoors how about scaling DOWN?

Awesome

Clicked on your link for the Micro Power Pack 1 and I get Error 404- Page not found

Nice model fan job

I can't find your power pack in your store for your rc plane help me find it

WOW Amazing ....

what glue to use?

Hi bro 👋 very good project done .I ask Wich control plate you use .pl tell the name of control plate

Very good bro 👍👍respect

Hi where i can buy micro power pack1?

Brilliant

Hi dude you are the best.

Very good bro

Good job

Hi, could you do a build video for the new FROG Tomtit. I took advantage of last weekends cheaper price, so hopefully my kit is on its way. But I haven’t done any modelling for 50years so a build video would help a lot. Many thanks Bryn Jones

what is the batery?

What's the material of tissue ?

how long did it take u to make

"How come you didn't use a Testflite 2 cell Basic BL P51 19" Mustang reciever instead of the Spectrum reciever? You could of installed 1.3 linear long throw servos in the wings for areons. I think I was one of the people who gave you the idea of converting your airplanes into a R.C. airplane. I'm happy to see this video. Thank you!

Did NOT expect to see the guy from ProjectAir

How many cm is the proppella

Do more flying videos of the rubber powered planes

Bloody Brilliant! 👍👍 My good Mate, Rob Brennan, got me excited about your Kits. He's built quite a few, with great skill. 👌 He prefers simply Free Flight... But I've always been into RC. I was HOPING for this!! 😁 Would you reckon that a small (1106, 2800kv) Brushless Outrunner Motor could be used instead? Much more efficient, twice the Flight time, longer Motor life. I realise a dedicated Firewall would have to be built and custom fitted... Would that overwhelm the Airframe!! Same 5X3 Prop, 1S or 2S Batry... Maybe on a larger model of yours, like the Avianca. Feedback? Carmine ✈🚂🚙

So your basically like flite test but only for inside

Excelente 🇩🇴🇩🇴🇩🇴🌎

no ship to US??

How many weight lift 1000kv motor plane

Hello! Would a spektrum dx8 gen 1 from 2010 work with your micro power pack? Thanks!

Neat!

kasa banay tell me please fast

Just need a lapel mic and you'll be golden for your vids.

Looks like Hobbyzone UMX J-3 Cub.

I need to make can u guide me

Can you recommend a good quality notice board/building surface?

Bro I want to purchase Electronic parts so please help me

Would the micro power kit work with the Westwings J3 Cub. I built the cub a number of years ago and wouldn't mind trying to convert it to simple RC, (I've never tried this before!) Wingspan is about 35 inches. I already have a Spektrum DX7s i'm assuming this would also work?

Hi I want to buy this plane in India. Pl help

Interesting stuff, I fly my rubber-powered models near many trees, so have been contemplating rc-assist for a while. Do you post the weights of your components?

I like it

Love it

Won't be long before you need a license for using toilet paper in the UK.

I have been working along the same lines now since hearing about the silly over the top draconian regulations coming into force in October 2019,I see a great future now for micro R/C and they are real fun to fly as well,good to see that the Vintage Model company are offering these flight packs to install into their kits and leading the way forward,others will no doubt follow. Ailerons is the way to go for the low wingers I found the easiest way is via a torque tube arrangement in the wing straight to the ailerons,you can use the newly availablew paper straws built into the structure with carbon rods operating inside the tubes and have one central micro servo to operate both ailerons,you can also use rudder successfully on low wing types provided you add plenty of dihhedral to keep the fuselage sitting low like they did with the old vintage models of yesteryear ( check out Colonel Bowdens Spitfire for example ) I have flown Bf.109's & Hurricane's for example with adequate rudder only control done this way. I have not been able to locate these Spektrum brick receivers ? does the VMC supply them and if so what price please ? I am also hoping that the too low 250 gram rules will be ammended to an higher weight limit to accomodate the heavier batteries rather than just a 1S,something that would give an adequate wing loading for say a jumbo rubber model size would be even better for flying outdoors. We must never allow the freedom of model building and flying die and the answer could lie in these small radio models which are economical to build and fly,please keep us informed of any new developments and let us know also when the new Aerographics range with radio conversions are due out,the video you did recently with the designer mentioned that he was modifying their Auster kit. Another great video,your work is a credit to the Vintage Model Company.

Very well aro plane I am interested to Maka like this sir would you like to send me the instruments Pic and from which country do I buy instrument I am from Pakistan and here all instruments ware not available sir kindly guide me Thank you

I found that it is difficult to buy the RC components and motor. It is cheaper when you order a whole ready-made RC plane. They are on Amazon starting at 35 dollars. To order the parts separately can be troublesome and it is even more expensive.

I made my plastic model fly with almost the same stuff bad thing is if you crash it it’s junk lol but you have the right idea for small scale model flying

CAN YOU DO THE SAME WITH THE P-51 MUSTANG MODEL?

could you show how you cover the plane with tissue?

Looking for a dealer in Adelaide, South Australia, Australia. Any hints??

Neat

Can u pzz guide me

Make a video about making a 12volt fighter jet rc plane

404 ERROR PAGE on your link to the power pack!!!

I can’t wait for the promised ducted fan units to replace the Jetex engines for the jet aircraft kits

It looks a little bit tail heavy, doesn't it?

Bro I want this small kit

Doesn't appear that VMC is carrying these micro power packs anymore. And looking at the questions, they're not responsive to questions either. Better to shop elsewhere.

You're from project air right

Bro love from India pizz give me motor name

Show !!!!!!!!!!

Awesome idea! Especially with ever tightening regulations ala 250g etc. Do you think its possible to use a small brushless motor and servos on a slightly bigger model, what are your thoughts?
