People Who Build Micro Planes

You don’t have to shell out the big bucks if you want a micro sized R/C plane. You can do like these guys and build your own. I think that if anyone likes to tinker and build things at least once in their lives they should conquer flight. I can’t think of a better way of doing this than to build a tiny plane that you can fly in your own home. Think of the benefits, the only thermal it can catch is over the coffee maker and if it does catch it your not going to be running for miles after it. It it smacks into a door frame and turns into art rather than a working plane your the only one that sees it happen and thus are spared the embarrassment.
Make sure you read the twin motor steering section!
