Micron Radio Control : Mountain Micro/Indoor Models

The Droplet is a micro R/C balsa easy-flying aeroplane kit. The Droplet is perfect for indoor flying venues or those calm summer evenings outdoors. With a flying weight of 1.1 ounces and a wing loading of 2.2 oz per square foot, "The Droplet" is an easy flying model. Or, punch the throttle and hold on to your socks!

The Droplet is built from laser cut contest grade balsa and plywood, with all hardware you need to complete the kit. The guts from a ParkZone P-51 or Sukhoi drop right into the Droplet, or you can buy the parts separately.

A number of options for Mountain Models Droplet may be purchased at discounted prices. Selecting an option will add its price to the total for the kit. So-Lite is ideal for covering.

Motor:

Microaces 8.5mm Motor / Gearbox: +£13.30

Propeller:

The 4-Site props (pack of 2) are preferred but, if out of stock, the GWS 5x3 with adapter is a good alternative.

E-flite Micro 4-Site Propeller with Spinner (pk of 2) (EFL9051): +£7.31 (no stock)
micro-speed 5x3 prop (black): +£0.81 ea, quantity:

Receiver:

AR6400 type receivers require either a mode 4 Tx or a Tx mix to map the aileron stick onto the rudder channel. The Futaba and Spektrum Micro receiver options comprises separate receiver and servos. Installation differs from that shown in the instructions for Vapor and AR64xx receivers - the servos are mounted on the fuselage wall using the supplied servo mounting tape.

Rx Mount:

A Spektrum or Parkzone receiver can be fixed with servo tape or one of these mounting clips allowing it to be easily swapped between models. The other receivers require mounting with servo tape.

The PeregrinE Micro is designed to bring back that nostalgic feeling of yesteryear, in an indoor electric package. Taking inspiration from many different planes of the past, Mountain Models developed the 23.7 inch PeregrinE, which resulted in a super easy to fly, lightweight indoor electric R/C airplane. The PeregrinE Micro is easy enough for learning how to fly and has a trike gear setup to keep things simple.

The Peregrin Micro was designed using a state of the art 3D CAD package, to allow for exceptional interlocking parts design and fit. 3D design also provides clearer assembly images, without having to use photos.

The PeregrinE Micro is built from self-jigging interlocking laser cut balsa and plywood parts. It's like a 3D jigsaw puzzle with instructions. Although not needed for building, full size plans are included for reference. If the instructions are read before hand and followed during the build, the PeregrinE Micro can be built up and ready to fly in only a few evenings.

The Roland C.II Walfisch was one of the most advanced aircraft when it first appeared in March 1916. It featured a sleek, streamlined wooden fuselage that gave rise to its name of "Walfisch". Another novel innovation was the lack of cabane struts, instead the upper wing sat on top of the fuselage giving an uninterrupted view of the sky above.

The Mountain Models cartoon scale version of the Roland C.II Walfisch was designed using a state of the art 3D CAD package, to allow for exceptional laser cut interlocking parts design and fit. 3D design also provides clearer assembly images, without having to use photos.
