    Building a fully capable 3D micro shockflyer has been a dream of mine for quite a few years. I've experimented with lots of designs and electronics setups over the past 2 years and finally the dream became reality last weekend thanks to the Phlatprinter.

    There was no way I could have cut this model so accurately and made it so light without my trusty PP.









    Thanks,

    Si, that's AMAZING!!! I just finished building a Micro 22 and had a concept like this run through my brain. Not only is yours very small, but it doesn't seem to be lacking in performance anywhere!

    Great job!! Interested in doing an interview about this endeavor over Skype for my little podcast? If so, PM me!

    Very impressive Si!

    I've been thinking about doing something similiar, but for now I got too many other things on the table.

    Nice flyer. Seems to hold a steady pace and doesn't go ballistic in the down lines. Looks the a happy plane in a steady hand :D

    It's been a dream of my to have an place to fly indoors :p :oops:

    firetrappe,

    Is this something you are planning to kit? Or will this be a free plan?

    Thanks for the kind words everyone, i'm glad you like it :)

    I'm afraid that I can't release the code for this one as it would infringe copyrights (a 34"ws version is being kitted at the moment by Donuts Models and it's not my design). I'm working on a new design right now using the same electronics which will be available soon for you guys to try.

    Crash, i'm afriad I don't have Skype at the moment, i'm trying to find time to get round to it. You guys probably wouldn't understand my accent anyway :D

    Si.
