PicoSpit: A 40 gram R/C Spitfire

  • design/construction: Yann LeCun
  • wingspan: 360mm
  • mass: 40 grams
  • motor/prop: KP00 + U80 prop from Dynamics Unlimited.
  • radio: RFFS-100 with magnetic actuators from Dynamics Unlimited.
  • battery: 4x110mAh NiMH.
  • materials: wing: 3mm Depron. fuselage: carved yellow foam.

The plane flies great, the controlability is under-whelming (the actuators are a bit wimpy for the size of the plane).

First flight of the PicoSpit, Saint Briac, August 11 2002.
