FT Mini Arrow - hotwire version

This is a ripping little wing, perfect for combat and proximity FPV.

Wingspan - 775mm
Flying weight - 400g

The Flite Test version is made from cheap US foamboard, which is not available in Aus.

My arch enemy combat pilot Chris made one from 6mm depron covered with packing tape, and I made a hotwire version from XPS foam.

Initial streamer combat flights have been fantastic, very addictive. Chris is narrowly leading the scoreboard....for now.

I suspect our numbers will be growing rapidly judging by the comments from the audience on the day. Combat video coming soon.

We decided to standardise motors, ESCs and battery for matched performance.

Motor - Turnigy 2822/14 1450kV
ESC - 20 to 25A
Battery - 1300mAH
Prop - 7 to 8"
