Historically, the full-scale Smith Miniplane is one of the designs that helped start the modern homebuilding era. Originally designed and built in 1957 by Frank Smith of Fullerton, California, the Miniplane was an early example of engineering with the amateur homebuilder and weekend pilot in mind. It could be constructed with tools easily within reach of the average craftsman, and in the air it was stable and easy to fly. The top wing spanned 17 ft., and the empty weight was a mere 600 pounds. Powered by a 100hp Lycoming, the tiny Miniplane cruised at 120 mph, climbed at a fantastic 2,500 ft. per minute, and was highly aerobatic. It was just what many sportsman pilots were looking for!
R/C Sport Scale BiPlane
In 1974, Glen Sigafoose, then President of Sig Mfg. Co., acquired a complete Smith Miniplane to use for aerobatic practice. Glen's beautiful red, white, and black aircraft was the inspiration for this mini version of the Miniplane.
FDK (formerly Sanyo) HR-AA-1650 Square Pack. HIGH capacity if you are sick of your TX running down. Yes, it's the same size as your current Square "AA" pack. About 3x the capacity of most factory packs! The 1650 has been around for a number years with great results and good longevity. If you've been afraid to try NiMH this is a great place to get your feet wet. Fits all the Futaba and JR radios requiring Square pack. If you have a clip pack, get the adapter kit to go with this pack. Clip packs are corrosion prone and any modeler at this level needs to make this update before you get bit. Why did they sell you that fine high end radio only to give you a paltry little pack with it? Fix that factory ignorance with this pack. Don't let the shadow in this picture fool you, this pack is about 3-15/16 long. A "AA" is a "AA" is a "AA". It's the same size as your current SQ AA pack. Weight 223g/7.85oz. Individual Cell Internal Impedance 25.0mΩ

A very capable aerobat - perfect for Small Field Flying!'.
When we started out to design a smaller, quick-to-build, and inexpensive kit, we found that we had the perfect starting point--our Javelin. Its great flying characteristics have made it one of our best-selling kits.
So, we found that by shrinking the original Javelin, simplifying the construction, and lightening parts where possible, what we ended up with is a fantastic flying model -- the Dart!
It's another in our Schoolyard series - a kit you can easily frame up in just a weekend, and once completed, enjoy at a local schoolyard or park.
All of this comes in a great looking design that is remarkably easy to build, thanks to our innovative design techniques and precision laser cut parts.
Although it only weighs just over a pound, ready-to-fly, the Dart's construction gives it surprising rigidity to handle most anything you can throw at it. Loops, rolls, inverted flight, snaps, spins, hammerheads, Cuban-8's, split-S, and more.
And after you're done tearing up the skies, throttle down to easily cruise around the field. Then when the time's right, setup for a nice, controlled landing.
Program in a transmitter flaperon mix, put the aileron servos into separate channels, and then enjoy even slower flights, shorter takeoffs, and slower landings!
Because of the interlocking design and high quality laser cutting of the parts, the Dart is a quick build. Not only does it build quick, but it also builds straight and true as all of the parts were designed to align properly with a minimum of fuss and alignment tools.
The wing is removable, giving access to inside the cabin area. From there, you have easy access to install most any brand of radio and control linkages.
Up-front, we've designed in a large hatch that covers the spacious battery compartment. This area will easily handle up to 1000mAh 2-3s packs.
Specifications:
Wingspan: 30 inches
Wing Area: 165 sq inches
Length (airframe only): 24.5 inches
Weight: 7-8 oz. framed; 17-20 oz. (rtf)
Radio: 4 ch. (5 w/flaperons)
Four 20+ in./oz. servos (Mini servos - similar to HS-5065MG)
Power:
100+ watt electric motor, 20+ amp ESC, 2-3s LiPo

The Wonder is best described as a very fast, go-where-you-point-it, turn-it-quick-or-it'll-be-gone kind of plane designed for hot-thumbed R/C pilots. With an .09 or a .10 size engine, the Wonder is actually a very nimble, aerobatic, smooth flying sport plane, but with a snarling .15 or .19 up front it's a hand- launched hot rod! Landings are no sweat thanks to the thick symmetrical airfoil and the light wing loading.
