Assembly method:

1.The wing slides in the fuse up to the servo. The bottom of the fuse is GENTLY bent around the servo and the wing is then centered on the fuse.

2. Insert the 4 wing bolts.

3. Plug the servo wire in the reciver in its AILE port.

4. Secure the battery under the velcro strap.

5. Turn on the TX, plug in the battery, and GO FLY!!

nice!

Here is the official first flight report!

With all surfaces dialed in on high rates (not 3D) every thing went smooth despite the 5-10 mph wind. Only a few clicks of right AILE.

I does fly a little the meaty side but I fell that it will serve it purpose well.

Map Of Tiny.png

To get your info added to "THE MAP OF TINY" you can do one of two things:

More Precise:

• Go to Google Maps and find the location you flew Tiny.
• Center the map on that location. Just Right click on the location and select "Center map here" from the menu.
• Click "Link to this page" in the top right hand corner of the map. The view of the map wont change but the URL in your address bar will.
• Copy the URL from your browsers address bar and report that as the "Location" in your flight log.

Less Precise:

• Report the Zip Code where you flew Tiny

You may want to just report the zip code if you don't want people knowing the exact coordinates of your back yard I'll be updating the map as the flight reports roll in.

Now I will finish the packing and get the specs to Ialwayscrash so he can get the 10mm coroplast create built.

It will then go to Maeu2003 and Max.

From there Maeu2003 will be in charge of the shipping list.

I dimensions are 26"L x 10.5"W x 13"T.

Awesome.

Is there going to be a list sent out to the people who signed up? I havent received anything as of yet.

[maeu2003]

I had to wait until we got the final set of parts to finish the list. Expect a post with the list later today. I need to make a trip for car parts then i'm back here to get the list up.
