Mini Q Slope/Electric Sports Racer 81cm

The Mini Q is a lovely 80 cm (32″) composite glass/carbon flying wing model that can be built as an electric sports racer or as a slope soarer. It is fast! We previously listed it as Tiny Q.

The kit consist of a very nicely molded glass and carbon one piece wing and pod. The attractively shaped fin is also molded and fits into a slot in the rear of the pod. A little fettling may be required to get it to slide into place smoothly. A nosecone molding and a carbon firewall are also supplied. Either one of these should be fitted depending on whether the model is built as a slope soarer or an electric racer . The firewall is about 33 mm diameter so it should be possible to mount 28 mm outrunner motors without too much difficulty.

A complete accessory pack is supplied including elevon pushrods with clevises, plywood servo mounts suitable for KST X08 servos, and carbon control horns and servo covers.

Note this model is quite highly loaded and is not suitable for less experienced modellers. Don’t forget to reflex the elevons 2mm and start with a forward CG and launch over long grass until the trim has been dialled-in.
