Martin Newell's Micro Warbirds
Palm sized palm fighters by Martin Newell. Video by Nick Murling and Mark Lanterman. Featured in the October 2014 issue of Model Aviation.
Apart from the battery, all the aircraft featured were scratch-built. The airframe is constructed from .020 Durabatics foam, with graphics printed by an inkjet printer. The wingspans are about four inches and the flying weight is 1/10 ounce, including the single-cell 20 mAh LiPo that fits inside the fuselage. They are based on an airframe design by Robert Guillot, with fully proportional control of elevator, rudder, ailerons, and throttle. The P-51 adds flaps, retracts, operable navigation lights, and cannons. The design and construction of the P-51 is described here.
