I very rarely leave comments, but i had to speak up on this excellent video, your micro modeling skills are fabulous! I started this hobby many years ago, focusing on the 1/2a class (9-20 ozs, 250-560 grams) and learned that that weight class needed a far bit more weight management than the standard 25-60 glow motors weight classes. Then i moved to brushless motors in the same and lower weight category and found the need for weight savings even more challenging. Now, i have moved to the sub 250 gram class (8.8 ozs) and having a real challenge because all my electronic gear is waay to heavy for that class, and with your skills, you have crafted a fully functioning rc plane in the 10-15 gram class, Hats off to you sir, you have superb micro rc building skillz .
Excellent conversion, neat to see it flying as both free flight and RC! Do you mind sharing more info on your printer? What is the model and does it have a rear manual feed for the paper?
@@JoeMalinchak thanks so much for the info! I’ve been using a laser printer, but the manual feed is finicky, so if the Epson is waterproof, I may switch to that.
I spent years of my childhood building these planes! Best time.
Fantastic Joe, well done! I'll give a nod to seeing it in the golden hour glow at Geneseo, and it looked great at the NEAT Fair as well.
Love the dual-version approach!
Lovely work and great channel!
That's one of the coolest planes I've ever seen. I have a Night Vapor. I didn't even know it was possible to build an RC balsa wood plane that small.
awesome!
Thanks!

I am using an Epson Work Force 3820. Just a front load. However, now that I know this works good, a may purchase a more advanced model.
