Mr Mulligan has flown, well at least across the room.
It now weighs 2.5g with a new Full River 10mil cell and bahoma connections to a cut down Tanaka IR receiver. The new Sharp SMT IR sensor allows elimination of a lot of components, PCB and weight.
Unfortunately I was doing a similar lightenning job on another receiver and dropped it onto the polished floor, and two days of searching have failed to find it. I accused the dog of eating it but he admits nothing. Such is life in the micro electronic world.

300mm span with converted Bit Car RC but now flying with Plantraco
I built models as a kid and then in 1980 I started RC flying with electric power. I have also been facinated with miniature models. Now most of my planes are under 200g and many are under 20g. From about 1982 to 1994 I wrote the Electric Flight column in Australian Airborne Magazine. What we used to have to make ourselves is now readilly available and very economical. Electric flying has come of age.
