Micro RC Airplanes. Fascinating miniature electric model airplanes.

Ultra Micro RC airplanes can be used for indoor RC flying or can be extra fun outside, on dead calm days!

The fascinating photo shows just what is possible with today's technology, when applied to micro RC planes. It shows the Parkzone DH Mosquito, twin engine WW2 warbird.

This micro RC plane has a wing span of 20.5" and a total weight of 2.6oz.

Parkzone have a large range of micro RC airplanes, that can be flown indoors, in a large area such as a school gym or similar area.

If winds are non-existent, then they can be a load of fun to fly outdoors, maybe on a quiet street, in front of your home! Please be careful if you try this and keep a sharp eye out for traffic!

It is much safer to fly in your own backyard or a park.

This page will concentrate on the Plantraco and E-Flite range of ultra micro RC planes. These are all of foam construction and some feature outrunner brushless motors and all use lipo batteries.

These models have only been available for a few years and are very popular. It seems to be that almost every week a new model is announced and each one has more details and features, as the type improves.

Almost all types of scale RC planes are represented, with a bunch of WW2 planes and quite a few RC aerobatic types. Some are easy flying and maybe make ideal RC planes for beginners, whereas others are definitely for advanced flyers with the ability to perform the most advanced 3D RC aerobatics.
