ICanHazChihuahua's?...

2DogRC is continuing the tiny theme with a new product release: Micro Plane "Snap and Fly" Kit, 3 Planes . It's a system where you get to fly different airframes by the use of a power pod section that makes up the bottom of the fuselage. Power pods aren't new (AirCore came out with their .40 nitro pods back in the 80's) but this seems practical and easy. By watching the youTube video, there doesn't even appear to be any hassle in connecting control surfaces (nice!). Plug-N-Play as they say!

The video also shows a perfectly happy flying aeroplane too... seems able to look from level, so it appears to be some pretty cool 3 channel fun. Unsure if it's 900mhz, 2.4Ghz or infrared, but it does seem happy to fly outdoors. All three airframes are provided in the kit!

YouTube movie can be found here!

There is the %10 discount code for theRightStick listeners (if you haven't already used it up) , so if you use "THERIGHTSTICK" when checking out you'll get a tidy $20 off this order. Woof!!


update: I just had a chat with Mark Grohe, and he confirmed my 900mhz guess and also threw in that it's not compatible with plantraco gear. I asked about mixing, and indeed it has all kinds of fun mixing (elevons, v-tails), so you can easily make yourself up a flying wing with elevon control! Now that's most cool indeed.
