Flite Test Mini Sportster "Maker Foam" Electric Airplane Kit (584mm)
I bought this to fly indoors, so I used a A pack motor and 3S 450 battery. I also reinforced the tail halves with a bent metal rod. While it didn’t work too well indoors, it’s absolutely a speed demon outside. It is so streamlined that it can keep up with my mini Mustang and actually handles very strong winds. The controls were a bit stiff at first, but I have a soft spot for this Gee Bee like racer.
