R.C. Mig 1.42 Foxglove

by HoriAkuma | December 26, 2012 | (9) Posted in Projects


This is my Mig 1.42 Foxglove. Designed with Google SketchUp. Made from DollarTree foam board. Powered by a Grayson Hobby Micro Jet V3, 20amp ESC from Grayson, and a 1600 mah 20c lipo. (Thanks Falchion!) This one came to me rather quickly, only about three days to design, one solid evening to get the pieces cut and put together, and a few more hours for the electronics. Much smaller than the other planes I've designed, the Micro Jet V3 was plenty of power for this bird. Super fast and nimble when I got on it, but still nice and floaty at barely a quarter stick throttle... Still need to nail the C.G. down just a tad more, and also want to mix the ailerons with the throttle, to tone down some of the torque roll at higher speeds. Thanks for checking it out, please let me know what you think!
