Indoor Rubber Powered Mini Stick Build | Start to Finish | BMFA Living Room Stick

What an excellent little tutorial. Well done!

Very nice build. I envy your covering skills. Don't sand the motorstick though. Weakens it without saving enough weight because it damages the wood grain. Planing it down while retaining the rectangular cross section does work well, however. Built some really competitive ezbs back in the day with that method.

Hi Josh, thank you so much for your constructive feedback - I'll take your tips on board! I haven't flown indoor in a very long time but you re-sparked my enthusiasm! I've build an F1R model too with much more attention to detail and weight saving but sadly the space I thought would be ideal is extremely turbulent for the lighter wing loading models - I will definitely find a suitable hall to do some testing soon. Best regards, Matt.

Love this type of model. Will be trying it with thin food covering. Heard you can get 1-3minutes flight with 800 turns of the rubber.

Thank you for sharin :) Do you have the drawing of the model in a picture or PDF? We want to try to build this as well.

Thank you for your comment. Unfortunately I do not have a PDF of this specific model but there are many similar plans available online. A quick Google search for "mini stick indoor plans" will give plenty results - this is one good example: indoornewsandviews.com/2013/07/21/rob-romash-ministick/

Hi Kamlesh, the structure is all made out of balsa wood and covered in very light mylar film.
