when first laying out this Downscale I wasn't sure it would work at all. Back in my First Fleet days I had one of these very Neat flying MPC models.
Downscaling to T3 made this model pretty good size but still quite light weight loaded it's only 9.3grams.
Even trimming small gliders like these was not the chore I expected. I'm very happy to report this is a fantastic flying Micro! Gets very nice 70-80foot altitiude on a single MMX-II motor. At ejection both gliders tend to stay in the vacinity of the long streamer recovery core vehicle. Both gliders are generlly within 10feet of the core on the ground.
It is as much fun flying as I remember the original MPC model with far less of the wide ranging recovery headache.
