Very nice Rory
Cheers fella.
Lol, can't beat a good mini me!
Just gotta do the final fitting & am waiting for a 7.2v reg for the vtx - don't Wonna run it on 16v!!
Looking sweet as.
:) G
Cheers G, managed to squeeze some time in today to get most of it built, just love the way it turned out! A mini clone of my ZII! Got a nano cam up in the nose - no room for a gopro though...
Just need control rods & esc & vtx power. Oh & some magnets for the hatches
Gonna run on 1500 mah 4s!
Ahhhh a little baby one! :D
Looks like it should be fun Dude.
Lol, yeah lickle baby Z.
Should be a riot mate, it's got the motor from the Hobbyking Fun Fighter range running on 4s.
Search youtube for hobbyking Rare Bear 4s, gonna be mental.
No osd, no RTH, no stabiliser - just seat of your pants FPV craziness!!
That is gonna be insane! Love it. :P
With any luck mate :rocks:
I hope you are planning to catapult it, as I don't fancy chucking it !
Lol, don't think it's wide enough to sit on the launcher rails!
Hand throw only me thinks ;)
Should be easy enough to throw anyways.
Flyn, that's looks mint!!!
I am fast becoming a fan of these small wings. Be warned though!!!! They do make you fly like a nutter on a joy ride ha ha!!!
Launching is easy, hold on leading edge and lob it. Works everytime for me.
They do like big tall buildings though so watch out!!!
Cheers matey,
Yeah I know what you mean, can't wait to fly it... & yes I do intend to fly it like I stole it ;)
I got a hk tek sumo that needs the same type of wing tip lob.
I'll keep an eye out for those buildings mate, just gotta make sure they don't jump out at me huh.
I feel a mini Z "wing off" coming to a field somewhere soon.
Still haven't maidened mine properly yet, just been too bloomin windy up here. >:(
What are the specs of your lil baby? Motor KV, Prop, Span, Weight etc etc?
Lol yeah a mini z off sounds like a plan! Loving your build mate gonna be fun to race!!
Yeah been gale force down here too.
Specs:
Motor: 2825 1950kv 4s
Prop: 5x5+ (not decided yet, needs testing)
Span: 770mm
Weight: dunno yet ;)
Esc: 40-50amp (need to test)
Battery: 1500mah 4s
Looks great!
Cheers dude, just setup my control rods & servo travels.
Just need to install esc & then waiting for vtx regulator which should be here next week.
Looking like I might still needing some nose weight, or I need a really really small OSD to squeeze in there!
Very nice mate. I look forward to see that go!

You shouldn't need a reg Dude. I ran my Vtx straight off a 4S on my first Zeph with no probs whatsoever. I did glue a small ally heat-sink to the top however.

Yeah Spook, I remember your cool little heat sink, that was nice! Just didn't wonna run it on 16v as the buggers get hot enough on 12v!! Lol
Rather run it on 7.2v, should get less heat & less noise in the video too.
Ahhh... prolly a good idea then. :laugh:
Well it's finished apart from the 7.2v bec for the vtx.
That "should" be here tomorrow with luck.
Got a 5.25x4.75 prop pulling about 20a & weighs in at 650g AUW
What do we think, will it fly??
You flown this lil beastie yet Dude???
Oh yeah, flew it the other day, is a little tough to wingtip launch but flies really nicely! It's fairly quick too, want to mod it for a 6" prop though.
Will post some vid up later ;)
NICE!!! :D :D

Awesome Fella! Have to get mine built. I got so much to do! :o
Looks Great!
Looks like Mini wings are really convenient = fun!
Now I'm wondering how small you could go?
How much does all the fpv gear weigh?
regards
Andy
Cheers lads, it's great fun for sure, the Fpv gear is a standard immersion rc vtx & 2g camera with 7.2v bec. It don't weigh much!
Looks good fun, thought you were gonna clip that tree :)
Lol, yeah mate - you & me both! I hate it when they jump out at you like that!
Was a blast ;)
