Fantastic little model. I went with a Spektrum AR6400 setup using linear servos and a diode on the ve wire from the ESC to drop the voltage to around 4.2v. Using a 120mAh 2s Nanotech I came out at just under 45 grams and it flys really well with loads of power, it will hover on half throttle. I fly in a small hall (single badminton court size) and it is plenty slow enough for that space.
Keep it light and it is a great plane.

Just back from my first indoor session with this model. Very disappointed. There seems to be an issue with the ESC as the power drops after running for a second or so at full power. Not investigated fully yet but is not battery related. But the main problem is with the tendency for this model to drop a wing when turning. You can hold it level on the ailerons but then it will not turn tight enough. It came out at the top end of the weight range but even so, it seems to need to fly quite fast, not ideal for an indoor model! So I would suggest going for a larger model (I have the Piaget which is a fantastic model) where the wing loading is more likely to be lower and hence flying speed lower, even though the airframe may be bigger. Think this is just too small a model for this weight.

This plane is small so I found getting the right power setup without torque issues a problem, also it's a bit flimsy. Once it's all sorted she flies well.

this is the same as the piaget,hover for almost 3 minutes but dont think you can fly it in your house as a regular airplane , it need a big space unless you want to practice hovering then its a good choice

Good indoor plane, one issue though, i claims to run on 1s lipo which is not true, the ESC requires ~7volts to opperate, bought 1s lipos because I wanted a really lightweight plane, but ESC refuses to start, So 2S minimun, otherwise a nice plane pre cut and pre taped except for rudder, but pick up hinge tape anyway really crappy tape pre-fitted not the greatest quality foam but for such a small plane it's good enough,
So I recomend it just don't pick up 1s LiPos.

Hallo

Flugzeug ist mit den empfohlenen Komponenten und leichten Verstrkungen (Motorbereich ca. 70g schwer (35 MHz Empfnger). Fliegt in der Halle daher recht flott. Kreise sind kein Problem. Querrollen gehen auch.
Der Motor wird hei (5 x 5 Luftschraube) die Spulen sind aber noch OK. Er ist auch Robuster als ein super Leichtbau Motor. Das Fahrwerk ist fr mein Gewicht zu weich.
Das EPP ist fr das Flugzeug gut geeignet und ist Hart im nehmen. Das erleichtert den anfang in der Halle.
Ich kann die Yak nur Empfehlen.

This is an AWESOME indoor flyer! I've had a blast with it! It also flies great outdoors as long as the wind is light. Plenty of power to hover.
