Prop Plans:

AA Glider Designer: MicroTex Designer Email: MicroTex at RCGroups Specs: 20 inch wingspan, Material Required: 2 and 3mm Depron, 1/8 x 1/4 balsa boom Downloads available:

Notes: The tail boom for the glider is made from 1/8 x 1/4 bals stick and is10 3/8" long it fits into the groove of the fuse center (the piece with the RX and BATT.) You will need two copies because you need 2 wing halves and 2 fuse sides ( the fuse pieces w/o the rx and batt.) For the landing wheel, i used a piece of a WD 40 straw in the wheel for a bearing, and 1MM carbon rod as the axle. The wing and the 3 fuselage pieces are 3mm depron, the rudder and stabilizer are 2mm depron, and the wheel is also 2mm depron. (thin foam plate material would probably work fine) Using 3mm for the rudder and stabilizer might make it a little tail heavy. Flight characteristics.... light taps of left and right turn are all that is needed, once the plane is set hard into a turn, you have to steer it out. Flies perfectly on the lowest throttle setting. Also, I extended the Rx antenna to the full length of plane. I flew it at our local park and got at least 150' range at about 20'-50' off the ground!! Still having lots of fun with it.

B-25 Designer: PaulBrad Designer Email: PaulBrad at RCGroups Specs: 16 inch wing span, 18g AUW Material Required: Balsa Downloads available:

Notes: Paul Bradley has created an excellent B-25. Be sure to take a look at the pictures for equipment placement, and check out his web site. Here is what Paul had to say about the equipment placement: "The battery has moved forward by a full cell length from the time (the pictures were taken). I found that rather (than) balance the model for a flat glide with power off, it is better when balanced for a nose down glide angle. At least that has been the case for my example. I have flown the model with and without down thrust. I did not see any difference in flight characteristics. It currently has about 3 degrees of down thrust in each motor, but again that has not made any real difference in flying qualities."

Beanoman Bipe Designer: Beanoman Designer Email: Beanoman at RCGroups Specs: Unknown Material Required: Disposable Foam Plates Downloads available:

Notes: If your looking to fly slow, (this is) about as simple as you can get- Just get a package of disposable foam plates, cut out 4 panels as big as you can for the wings, and then 2 2" by as long as possible for the 2 fuse pieces and a 2x1 inch elevator... then cut the fuse pieces as desired. Hot glue works great, just put some dehidral in and keep it symetrical.. You can get 60-70 square inches and keep it light for some really slow flying.

Big Easy Sailplane Designer: Astrodavid Designer Email: Astrodavid at RCGroups Specs: 30 inches WS,29g AUW Material Required: Depron 3 and 4 mm Depron, plastic drink straw Downloads available:

Notes: This sailplane is an absolute joy to fly - graceful and responsive. The motors are mounted 10" out on each wing, so it turns nicely. With a 30" high aspect wing and weight of only 29 grams, it gains altitude at the lowest power setting. Fly only under very calm conditions, or the 10:1 glide slope will carry it out of radio range!

Big Round Smiley Designer: derJuf Designer Email: derJuF at RCGroups Specs: 34cm wingspan, 21g AUW Material Required: 3mm Depron, Selitron Downloads available:

Notes: Check out derJuF's latest!

BloP Designer: derJuF Designer Email: derJuF at RCGroups Specs: 18cm wingspan, 17.2g AUW, 18.5g AUW with landing gear Material Required: 2mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: Please say hello to the "BloP"! I called it BloP because "beautiful little orange plane" was too long for completely be pinned to the wings. I printed the plan as a pdf for everyone who wants to try it...the BLOP flies quiet great, but is difficult to turn in windy sky.

Blue Tissue Paper Plane Designer: MIT KID Designer Email: MIT KID at RCGroups Specs: 18inch wing span, 16g AUW Material Required: 1/8, 1/16th balsa, tissue paper, 1mm carbon fiber rod Downloads available:

Notes: Author's notes: wing area 96 in^2 including horizontal stab I've been flying it in my dorm lounge all night. It climbs slightly at the lowest throttle setting, and I had flight times exceeding 25 minutes. I may add a couple of LED's for effect and to step down the motors so I can fly at a more comfortable stick position. At first I was having trouble getting the plane to turn but I increased the wings incidence so when I pulse the throttle in a turn it makes the plane stall/skid around greatly reducing the turning radius. Figure 8's are no problem in the 20X30-ish room, and I even managed a couple of touch and go's off the tables. I'm getting more accoustomed to the control setup and I think it could fly in a much smaller room. Also despite my best efforts I haven't been able to break this thing, when it hits a wall/chair/person it just kind of flops gently to the floor.

Boeing Model 80 Designer: Lutz Näkel Designer Email: Lutz Näkel at RCGroups Specs: 39cm WS, 21g AUW Material Required: 1.5mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: Here's what Lutz's has to say about his build: "I made this tiny Boeing 80A using X-twin guts. Airframe is made of 1.5mm Depron, the Depron is self-cut with an electric planer. Dummy engines are vac-formed over plastic parts from a 1/48 Revell PBY Catalina kit. Canopy is clear heatshrink tube moulded over a balsa plug. The whole airframe is airbrushed with Tamiya paint, markings are waterslides, inkjet printed and sealed with clear dope. The front propeller is just freewheeling. Wingspan 39 cm.Weight is 21 grams, a little to much combined with the draggy airframe (struts, rigging, etc.). But flight characteristics are good, though climbing rate is far from being breathtaking. Took me about 30 hours to make, a lot of time for an X-twin conversion, but I think it was worth it. Sorry, no plans, I usually blow up 3-side- views with a photocopier and build directly on the copy.

Chara Bipe Designer: derJuf Designer Email: derJuF at RCGroups Specs: 22.8 g AUW Material Required: Depron, Selitron Downloads available:

Notes: DerJuF is back with another great design. He shrunt the Bipie that Chara designed he made some weeks ago and used "lightly modded" parts from a X-Twin UBI to build this design.

DC-3 Designer: bEbOp ¿?(Based on Gene Bonds DC-3 plans) Designer Email: bEbOp ¿? at RCGroups Specs: 14 inch wing span, 14g AUW Material Required: 1/32 balsa, or foam of varous size Downloads available:

Notes: Author's comments: "This plane is a treat to fly, its real forgiving in trim and COG aswell as motor thrust angles. I always make sure to have at least one DC-3 when I go flying. Gene Bond Has given permission for posting."

Dizzy Floater Designer: Christian Bürger Designer Email: Author home page Specs: TBD Material Required: 2 or 3mm Selitron (Depron) Downloads available:

Notes: Another great design from Christian Bürger!

Dizzy_chick_II Designer: Christian Bürger Designer Email: Author home page Specs: Flying wing Material Required: 3mm Selitron (Depron) Downloads available:

Notes: A nice flying wing. Note: The design does not call for it, but give the dizzy chick some dihedral angle (approx 2 cm on each tip side) - the original plan didn't work for some because of this. 2mm Dupron should also work for this design. Many more designs and videos available at the authors site: www.modellbauvideos.de

Dust Devil Designer: derJuf Designer Email: derJuF at RCGroups Specs: 17.5cm wingspan, 18.5g AUW Material Required: 1mm Balsa Downloads available:

Notes: You remember crimson skies? There was a beauty named "Dust Devil". Sitting near some Balsa-Sheets I remembered her... Not exacly similar to the "original" but I like the form of the bipe I used.

EPP- Delta Designer: Quax Designer Email: QUAX at RCGroups Specs: 50cm wing span Material Required: 5mm EPP or Depron Downloads available:

Notes: Here is a short building description - 1.Was a square (25 cm). I cut it on the diagonal and glued it together (a closed angel of 145 degrees. 2. The rudders that are used for climbing sit back 14 cm and 6 cm on the sides and have been glued together in an angel of 155 degrees. 3. I eyeballed cutting the vertical tail back is 6 cm high and base length is 16 cm. 4. 2 plastic V's that have been turned around are a little more stable and are used to hold the motor. The motors, in relationship to the propeller are 10 cm behind the tip, are 9cm away each other and are lying 3.2 cm above the bottom. The motor will not cause it to nosedive. 5. The heaviest point is 12.5 cm behind the tip. Akko and Receiver must be placed accordingly. 6. Material 5 mm yellow EPP bottom plates made from OBI. Using Depron makes it much lighter. However, it is more easily damaged.

FW 190 Designer: RCBilly Designer Email: RCBilly at RCGroups Specs: 11.25 inch wing span, 18.2 AUW Material Required: 4mm Depron Fuselage, 2mm for wing and stab Downloads available:

Notes: A Smooth flyer and not too touchy except at full power when it really scoots! Building Method: I do a profile jpg as shown which shows both sides and the wing and stabilizer and fit them on one sheet. This size, 600x800 will print out on an 8.5x11 sheet of self adhering Avery Clear Full Sheet Labels (No.8665). You can get it at Staples. After printing it out on the Avery paper let the ink dry an hour or so and then spray the sheet with Krylon Ctystal Clear to seal it as dried inkjet ink is not waterproof!! . I let it dry overnight. Using a scissors I first cut out the parts on the green lines and stick them on foam sheets. I then cut out the parts using a sharp exacto and glue them together. Using the AA gear I use 4mm foam for the fuse and 2mm for the wings and stab. I score the top of the ailerons and elevators and cut loose the inboard ends for flight adjustments. The gear is affixed using Scotch double sided foam tape. You can experiment moving the motors in or out to suit your preference. I have found that they work best on this taper wing model closer to the fuse. The RX and stock AA batt need to be up front on opposite sides of the fuse to balance. AUW is 18.2 grams and could be lighter if you removed the plastic housings on the motors which I didn't do. Also if you used printed tissue I think it would be much lighter but maybe for beginners not as easy to build. This basic model could also be used with the Plantraco or Micro Invent gear as an inexpensive practice racer or dog fighter using actuators. I'm going to be trying that one of these days.

Fire Delta Designer: relaxr Designer Email: relaxr at RCGroups Specs: 10 inch wing span, 15g AUW Material Required: 3mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: This design is very "ticklish" around its length axis (tends to roll) but goes like it looks - no plane for novices. There is some few profile (undercamber) in the wing like in my cutlass plans. The fire delta turns with full stick (Tx diode/diode opener modded) in a radius of about 6-8 feet. Very reactive and nervous and climbing close to vertical against soft breezes. It shoots around but also maybe slower. Its even more tricky and turnable as the Arado 581. It was very easy to build. See the fuse cut line, giving a bit of undercamber into the wing. Make trims according to the attached pics: some neg. dihedral, some washout to the rudder areas - should be enough. The Rx sits in a hole exactly sized as the Rx shield. Glue was UHU-por, Rx and lipo are just fixed with transparent glue film. The front edge is reinforced also with glue film.

Gee Bee Supersportster Designer: relaxr Designer Email: relaxr at RCGroups Specs: 10 inch wing span, AUW unknown Material Required: 2 and 3mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: I used for the central fuse part (whole fuse) 3mm depron and cut out the places for lipo and Rx. The lateral fuse parts (nose) one on each side are cut from 2 mm depron. The wing could be made from 2-3 mm material with some forming of the foil. The pictures should clear all questions.

Notes: An interesting delta. Many more designs and videos available at the authors site: www.modellbauvideos.de

Micro Demoiselle Designer: Gguy Designer Email: Gguy at RCGroups Specs: 16 inch wing span, 17g AUW Material Required: Foam Plates, Balsa Downloads available:

Notes: Want a nice little scale flyer? This little plane is for you. Originally a Walt Mooney design, I converted it to RC. Flies great indoors and out. Built out of balsa strips and plate foam, you can have this little beauty built in a few hours. The AUW is 17 grams and on a full charge, it will climb at half throttle. I built the airplane pretty much to match the stock aero ace so you just fly it as you would an AA. Enjoy! If anybody has any question, check out my blog on RC groups.**CLICK HERE FOR THE BLOG** Hopefully I should have most of the question answered there! Have fun!

Micro Puddle Jumper Designer: derJuf Designer Email: derJuF at RCGroups Specs: 29cm wingspan, 21g AUW Material Required: Depron Downloads available:

Notes: This design was based off of the plan from Roland Merk who created an 80cm version.

Micro Super Cub Designer: ty horn Designer Email: ty horn at RCGroups Specs: 18g AUW Material Required: Depron Downloads available:

Notes: I eyeballed everything :-) All I did for the airfoil was cut the shape out of the fuselage and tape the wing down to it. It works pretty well really. I have a smaller one that flies much faster :-)

Pocket Rocket - Delta Designer: Mick222 Designer Email: Mick222 at RCGroups Specs: Tx sized wing span, 11.5g AUW Material Required: 2mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: This is a bullet, takes an age to trim, same as usually give some wash to the rear wings and bend upwards, strong design; crashed into the ground and wall many times non the worse for wear (though I did tape the nose). the smallest and I mean smallest adjustment can make a huge difference to the next flight but when you get it right this thing can move!!

Proton Project 2 Designer: Electronick Designer Email: Electronick at RCGroups Specs: Unknown Material Required: Parkzone 210 and AA components Downloads available:

Notes: This is pretty much what happened to my PZ Cessna. The RX went in the proton-jet and the rest of the foam body became a simple 2 channel conversion. (Notes: Check out Proton Project 1 for the Proton Jet images.)

Quick Junior Designer: CaptEvo Designer Email: CaptEvo Specs: Unknown Material Required: To-go boxes (Depron) Downloads available:

Spitfire Fighter Designer: Astrodavid Designer Email: Astrodavid at RCGroups Specs: 16 inch WS, 24g AUW Material Required: Depron 2 or 3 mm Downloads available:

Notes: I've built at least thirty nifty profile scale airplanes using the very versitile AeroAce/X-Twin components, and this Supermarine Spitfire is one of my most successful efforts. With a wingspan of 16" it has a total weight of 26 grams and is made from 2 and 3mm Depron. I made (a) little video of the build process, and also (at the end) some nice views of the Spitfire flying in my local park. Additional build notes: The pager motors on all my 16 inch wingspan profile models are located 4 inches off the centerline (total of 8 inches apart). This seems to provide good turns.

The Cat Designer: derJuf Designer Email: derJuF at RCGroups Specs: 31.5cm wingspan, 34.4g AUW Material Required: 3mm Depron, Rx with Fet mod, 4 X-twin motors Downloads available:

Notes: Juergen has produced a really cool 4 motor plane. Here is what he has to say about it: "Do you know the boys from OCC ? (Orange County Choppers http://www.orangecountychoppers.com/ ) I´m a big fan of their fantastic theme bikes, especially the the CAT BIKE. The Maidenflight was OK, but it became to stormy for an vid."

Toon Racer Designer: Epilot Designer Email: Epilot at RCGroups Specs: 7.25 inch wing span, 13.7g AUW Material Required: 2mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: This version of the Toon Racer was adapted for AA gear by Angry_Monk at RCGroups. Here are his notes about this cool design: "I originally made one about 80% scale, but that proved to be very unstable in the air. So, I made another at about 90% scale (printer cant handle 100% scale) and that seemed to work ok. Plane flys fast and is stable while going strait, but if I turn too much it can go into a downward spiral which is hard to correct."

Turbo-Airsurfer Designer: rcfreak17 Designer Email: rcfreak17 at RCGroups Specs: 21.65 inch / 55cm wing span, 17g AUW Material Required: 2mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: Authors notes: CG at 34% which is 7cm (2.75")from the nose, (The CG is at 34% (from the nose) of the complete depth of the wing.) Engines are placed exactly on the CG. Flies very, very well. Glides perfectly, but climbs at the lowest Powerstage on the gas. Turns are good. Flight time appr. 25min. The plan is tiled with 1cm of drawing-overlap on each side of the three pages.

Notes:

X-tra Designer: derJuf Designer Email: derJuF at RCGroups Specs: 21cm Wingspan, 20g AUW Material Required: 3mm Depron, Selitron Downloads available:

Notes: DerJuF had tried a different method of coloring his models with this one. He found a transfer-foil for cups that was extremely thin. Instead of baking it in the oven as suggested by the instructions, he used thinned glue for getting it on the depron. Here is what he also had to say about the x-tra: "The maiden flight with an uncoloured model of the X-TRA was very successful. Very good flyer, I had a lot of fun. Not really complete scaled model, but i need place for the lipo The complete landing gear is made of some white and black floppy-disks"

Jet Plans:

Airliner Designer: mcross Designer Email: mcross at RCGroups Specs: 14 inch wingspan, 16.5g AUW Material Required: 2mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: Mike has created a nice looking airliner! I have created three graphic schemes for Mike's plane for download. If you create any others please feel free to submit them so they may be added. The drawings call for two fuselages to be cut out and bonded together for added strength. You may also consider using either a small carbon fiber ribbon along the bottom edge of the fuselage or balsa to do the same. This might reduce the AUW.

B2 Designer: Duane Cruz Designer Email: Duane Cruz at RCGroups Specs: 17 inch WS, 9g AUW Material Required: 2mm Depron, CF for leading edge protection Downloads available:

Notes: My version. 17" wingspan. Canopy made out of an AA Sport fuse cut and trimmed. It's super light and very fast. Carbon fiber strip is fastened to the leading edge. CG...battery as far forward dead center and the rx right up against it, just taped all down and sharpy'd black. You might even want to think about increasing the overall size to 18-19". Sometimes it seemed to get away from me in turns and almost do a roll. The weight or lack there of had a lot to do with that. A lot of tapping around the turns. The rudder is only a 1/2" X2" leftover from the cutout. Originally I creased the wingends creating some dehidral about 7 degrees up and then later put it back straight cause I put CF rod on the leading edge to stiffen it. As you can see, it's fast and when it hits.

BD-5J Designer: dz1sfb Designer Email: dz1sfb at RCGroups Specs: 12.5 inch WS, 19.8 AUW Material Required: 2,,3 and 6mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: dz1sfb has created a great BD-5! Here is what he has to say about the construction: A little bit of solder in the nose (very little) and this bird is a delight. The CG is still around 33% of wing chord, but is now closer to 30%. I had also added the carbon fiber rods to stiffen the nose, as cracks had developed from too many one point and wingtip landings. Flying - very stable and lots of fun. Stall turns, loops, immelmans, and very loose barrel rolls. Turns have to be watched for getting in too much of a bank. This is remedied by pouring on the power and it will pull out of it. All changes have been incorporated into revision C of the plans. Just watch the CG.

BD-5J 3mm Version Designer: dz1sfb Designer Email: dz1sfb at RCGroups Specs: 12.5 inch WS, 19.8 AUW Material Required: 3mm Depron Downloads available:

Here are some additional notes from Doug: "You may note the pictures show the profile type and full body. Same plans and the body width is two 5/8 wide formers 1" in front of the wing and at the balance point in the rear. The canopy was added after boxing the fuselage sanding. Flies ok with stock x-twin motors but great with 7mm orange motors. Enjoy! Doug "

ME163 Kraftei Designer: Christian Bürger Designer Email: Author home page Specs: Pylon Racing Jet Material Required: 2 or 3mm Selitron (Depron) Downloads available:

Notes: Here are Christian Bürger notes on this design: "..we made coloured plans in several designs. You can print them on light paper, put them onto the Depron and Selitron and have a nice flyer without need to draw the design by yourself. There are four different designs. Unfortunally we took very heavy paper for the prototype, which was only flyable with a full battery. If you don't have light paper it is better to reduce the plan by 10% to make it lighter" Thanks again Christian! Note: The BMP link contains the fourth PDF design.

ME262 Designer: Relaxr Designer Email: Relaxr at RCGroups Specs: Unknown Material Required: 2mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: The Me 262 plan - a really nice flyer, if trimmed and bend correctly. It really flies on its foil, needs just short stick inputs, turns close, climbs well, allows slow circles and eights and also fast acrobatics (be high enough ). I made new pics as a help for its trims, which are essential. Before those it was just an avarage flyer. Shape it ! Sorry for the sketched plan - I dont have enough time for proff. graphics - but this here allows you to copy it. If something remains unclear - feel free to ask . Good success.

SU-37 Designer: Astrodavid Designer Email: Astrodavid at RCGroups Specs: 12.5 inch WS,27g AUW Material Required: Depron 2 or 3 mm Downloads available:

Notes: For those interested in the SU-37, here is a profile SU-37 that I built with AeroAce/X-Twin components. I used 2mm and 3mm Depron. A nice flyer, I built it with a wingspan of 12.5 inches (32 cm) and final weight of 27 grams. It flys well in very calm winds or inside ... I would recommend slightly reducing the wingspan to 12 inches and therefore the weight to 25 grams; this will give better flying performance. Additional build notes: The pager motors on all my 16 inch wingspan profile models are located 4 inches off the centerline (total of 8 inches apart). This seems to provide good turns.

Strykerish Designer: MiseryQ Designer Email: MiseryQ at RCGroups Specs: Two designs, 9.5 and 12 inch Wingspan Material Required: 3mm CellFoam88 Downloads available:

Notes: The 9.5" was a little squirmish and needed almost full throttle to stay flying so the larger version should have more lift. Authors note: Both models took full throttle to stay in the air, so you may have to do some work with this design. 2mm Dupron may help.

T38 Talon Designer: dz1sfb Designer Email: dz1sfb at RCGroups Specs: 9.5 inch WS, 17.9g AUW Material Required: 3mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: Norhtrop T-38 Talon 9.5" wingspan 16.375" length 17.9 grams - AUW Plan view and side view profiles Panel line detailing Intended color scheme is USAF Thunderbirds This one flew right off the board. One tip I learned here was to find the CG first by testing without motors, batt, and RX. This gives the lightest wing loading (less potential damage), and lower stress (on me).

Futuristic Plans:

AutoGyro Designer: frash Designer Email: frash at RCGroups Specs: 15.7g AUW Material Required: 1-3mm Depron Downloads available:

Notes: This is Frash's Aero Ace autogyro. It is similar to the US AMA indoor rubber FF autogiros. He has flown it indoors with flight times each over 8.5 minutes. Rotor area is 32 in2 and weight is 15.7 g. The shaft for the rotor is on the right side and the rotor spins at a modest rate clockwise as viewed from above. Fuselage is 2 layers of 3 mm Depron. Stub wing/motor mount is also 3 mm Depron. Rotor is 2 mm Depron. Tail is about 1 mm foam from a Hefty foam plate. This model requires a well charged battery, and further weight reduction would be desirable.

Autogyro V2 Designer: frash Designer Email: frash at RCGroups Specs: 15.64g AUW Material Required: 3mm Depron,1.5mm foam plate Downloads available:

Notes: This small single rotor autogiro uses Aero Ace electronics, a 9-inch Al Foot "Twirl" style rotor, and weighs 15.64 g. Typical flight times per charge are 8-10 minutes. A few flights over 10 minutes and a few ROGs from a slick floor have been made by this series of autogiros. Both clockwise (CW) and CCW rotors have been used successfully. The twin tail is held on only with double stick tape and its center line is canted about 2 mm or 3 degrees to counteract the turn caused by greater lift from the advancing blades. Fuselage is cruciform cross section for stiffness from 2 pieces of 3 mm Depron. The stab, fins, and “Twirl” style rotor is made from foam plate about 1.5 mm.

Flig Designer: Neurotex Designer Email: Neurotex at RC Universe Specs: 11 inch wing span, 18.2g AUW Material Required: 1.80mm Hefty Foam Plates, 1.75mm foam tail Downloads available:

Notes: Neurotex has created an excellent adaptation of a flying wing! The flyingwing (flig) is a quick flat build all done with the Hefty Extra Strong & Deep 26cm foam plates that flys great! Thanks Neurotex!

Flying Cube Designer: micro_builder Designer Email: micro_builder at RCGroups Specs: 144sq.in. of wing area and only 16g AUW Material Required: 1/16th balsa and tissue paper Downloads available:

Notes: Authors Notes: The tissue is standard stuff from Target. You can change the flight characteristics quite a bit by playing with the thrust angles and CG location. I found you can give the motors a lot of down thrust (props facing towards the back and down), and put the CG pretty far forward. on the flipside, you can use less down thrust and move the CG back.

Starship Enterprise Designer: Robster Designer Email: Robster at RCGroups Specs: 17g AUW Material Required: 3mm Cellfoam88 and .05" Durobatics,AA Jet Gear Downloads available:

Notes: Robster has created is version of the AA powered Starship Enterprise. Trimming was done for a slight high alpha flight by bending some up elevator. CG is right at the center of the disk. The tail dihedral is pretty vital to the design also. Too much and the tail will drag into unmaintainable high alpha, too little and it will dive. Warp 9 Mr Scot!

Bubble Mod Designer: lukibob Designer Email: lukibob at RCGroups Specs: Bubble Trails for you AA!! Material Required: Ring from a Key Chain Downloads available:

Notes: Here is lukibob's Bubble mod. The ring is a from a key chain, the spiral wound ones that come on free keychains. It has to hang down so you can dip it in a small cup. Luki says the hard part is keeping everything else from getting all soapy!

Hoop Skirt Designer: micro_builder Designer Email: Micro_Builder at RCGroups Specs: 24g AUW Material Required: Balsa and tissue paper Downloads available:

Notes: The hoop is 10 inches in diameter, total leangth is 18 inches, empty weight was just under 14 grams, so my AUW should be around 24(grams). It glides amazingly well, much slower than I was expecting, seemed very stable as well. I gave it some throttle after seeing that it was stable enough to fly and it cruised nice and straight, but steering response seemed quite sluggish. The long tail moment and huge rudders are probably playing a big role there, so I'll probably cut the rudders down some.

1C Mod on the AA TX Author: KC Author Email: KC at RCGroups Specs: Prolongs Life of lipo by charging at 1c instead of 3c rate Material Required: Mixed Downloads available:

Notes: This is a very simple mod that can be done on the original AA Tx to achieve a true 1C charge for all the AA planes. (Except for the UBI, JS and the Air Acrobat/Rolling Fury Planes. They have their own 1C mods.) Disclaimer! I should add that I am not an expert on electronics. Only a hobbyist. Try the mod at your own risk.

Channel Mod Author: bronney Author Email: bronney at RCGroups Specs: Allows you to chose channel A,B or C on the Transmitter Material Required: SPDT center off switch Downloads available:

Notes: The channel switch mod enables your transmitter to switch between any of the AeroAce channels (A, B or C). Once you do this mod you will only have to carry one transmitter to the flying field.
