MIA Ultralight RC Helicopter – Scratch Built – Home Made – Home Built – DIY – Take 6
www.micro-flight.com MIA Ultralight RC Electric Helicopter one of several flights to test the control and feel of this realisitic looking and flying model. The video also demostrates some of the smooth characteristics, in a more open space, of this home brewed large MIA RC simple FP ultralight helicopter. No other RC helicopter I’ve bought, simple or complex, larger or small is giving me this much enjoyment! The helicopter has a totally different feel than any other helicopter I’ve flown over the past 20 some years of being involved in the RC helicopter hobby, a nice welcoming for a change. Most people that know me know MIA associated with really tiny helicopters, but I love larger ones also, but they have to be different otherwise what is the point!. This design is rather unique in the sense that most RC helicopters on the market are set up for 3D flying, many of them are complex in mechanics which is required if you fly 3D, but many people, like myself, enjoy the more scale and unique look. In the many years of designing RC helis, autogyros and airplanes, I have often found a dissastisfaction with many companies that do the same typical models over and over. So what is someone like me to do? I get bored easily with the same products that everyone else sells so I make my own from time to time. This helicopter flies simply AWESOME! , and needs just some small aesthetical refinements which I am working on for the next video. I am also thinking hard on working on a KIT for …

Home Made Ultralight RC Helicopter
www.micro-flight.com A rather large, home brewed, simple, yet very realistic and easy to control Ultralight RC helicopter I put together out of boredom with commercially available 500 size helis, which have become cookie cutter in style. I purposely designed this helicopter for simplicity and so that I could spend more time flying it then setting it up or tweaking it, reason it is just FP. I am using the famous MIA Micro-Flight Pilot Figure, I have been using in my other Ultralight Planes and Autogyros (see my other videos here in You Tube). More than 2 decades ago, I started designing my own electric helicopters, a time when the only commercially available RC helis were mainly model fuel powered. In contrast to the products I’ve been promoting, manufacturing and selling, for the last 10 years, which have been tiny in size, my first experimental RC electric heli designs were rather large helicopters, 600 size, the reason being that technology was not that small, in those years and it was not feasible for making a helicopter that was 20 inch rotor without a considerable compromise on flight time. But eventually my heart was on the really tiny stuff. I think because no one else was making them, which, eventually, led me to making some of the very first tiny RC helicopters, such as the MIA Sport LE, MIA Robin 280, MIA House FLY, MIA Bumble Bee and MIA Mosquito (Mosca) micro, sub micro, and palm size, before any of the big names in RC helis did it. I’ve been wanting to put …
