dude, those bear claws you call hands would crush it to baby powder just trying to get it out of the box.

Wow, looks like it handles pretty good.

Now that is something you could fly in a US basketball gym easily.

You think we can pull off the geared set up and put one of those tiny E-Flite outrunners on it? Probably save a lot of down time when you strip out those gears on the motor/ gearbox. Just a thought, but I like the small bipe package!

The way i hear it the prop will break or the shaft will bend before the gear strips.

Me too! That thing looks awesome! The vapor is fun for a while, but touch and goes, and torque rolls get borring after a while. I'm with Sleepy. Do I have to wait 'till November?

Tailspin,
I dunno..... Look at how the prop and shaft stick way out in photo # 6 of the photo gallery. Ya think the motor gives way or something? I like the looks and size of this bipe but I never was crazy about gear drives...... Seemed they always stripped. I'll give it a try when they come in though.

I got to fly one of these machines over the weekend at KIEF, and I gotta say, it's everything we'd hope it to be. It's far more capable than it should be. Micro KE loops, hovers with punch-outs, nice and steady rollers... it's awesome. Anyone with solid 3D will have no issue flying in the living room.

What is the difference between the Bind n fly and Plug n Play? didnt see really much difference on the horizon website.

BNF includes the charger/AC adapter and batteries. PNP is the complete airplane only less that stuff.

Mike,

Thoughts on when the LHS would have them?

I was lucky enough to get one of the these to demo at the Keystone Indoor event that took place a couple weeks ago. Here's a video someone put together and added music to from the event. This little plane is sweet, you can actually hover, harrier, knife edge and harrier roll inside your house. Mine has lived through a couple good beatings, it fixes just like other foamies with glue or tape, but you have to go very light with repairs to avoid adding too much extra weight. Keep in mind this plane is for the advanced pilot and will not fly itself like some of the other micros such as the vapor.

One of these would be sooo much more fun with a VPP on it if they make one small and light enough

What kind of flight times are you guys/gals getting from the stock 150mah pack?

heligrom

10-31-2009, 12:04 AM

It was reported 3-4 mins of 3D working, 6-8 of more gentle flying around. Hasn't been released yet to no official times from us, just what horizon is telling us.

I was also lucky enough to get one to demo at JR Festival with the designer, David Payne.

I will say, this thing is pretty frickin sweet! I've flown the snot out of mine. Just imagine a normal foamy, and the way it flies, all in a micro size! :198:

As far as flight times, I'm getting about 5 minutes of hard 3D with a fresh pack. If I just kind of fly around, and do some basic stuff, I've gotten about 8 minutes.

Got a couple on order for me and a buddy of mine. We do indoor flying all winter and early spring so this should really spice things up.

I think they said end of Dec.

I fly Futaba also, I'm gunna get the JR module for my 9C. That way I can fly all the cool BNF stuff that's comming out.

I also have my eye on that Ultra-micro Cub!

This is the one I'm gunna get... http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMMSFUT9#quickSpecs

10C? not sure on that one... you have the integrated 2.4? If so... you may have to get a Dx6 or 7

I have a 10C and bought one of these:
http://www.horizonhobby.com/Products/Default.aspx?ProdID=SPMMSFUT7

It works great for the BNF stuff. If you don't want to use the receiver, you can sell them all day for $75, leaving you with the TX module for around $30. Can't beat that!

i think i saw a video of Seth flying one of the top secret prototypes....the whole time he was flying it it, the video had the area around the plane pixelated so you couldnt tell what it actually was. will do some more research and see if i can find anything out
