In our step by step build video Peter is working with standard foam board but the FT Mighty Mini Vertor Kit is laser crafted into our new Water-Resistant Foam Board!
Learn more about the Water-Resistant foam kit HERE!
The Vector includes an optional rudder tab to help with stabilization. If you want to add the rudder tab, construct the piece and attach underneath the center of the wing.
The FT Mighty Mini Vector is an agile, speedy plane that has 3D capabilities and provides a great flying experience.
The FT Mighty Mini Vector is powered by a 2300 kv 2204 size motor and features a removable nose.
Start by assembling the nose and fuselage.
Cut the wings out along the reference lines, and join the wings together with tape and glue.
Install your power pod, and attach the servos to your control surfaces. Center your servos and secure your electronics inside the fuselage.
You'll need Servo Extensions for this build.
Test your CG and controls, make the necessary adjustments, and you’re ready to fly!

as always another amazing design from you. Do you think if you made the canard active and slave it to the elevator. would it work? looking forward to building the model.

Good build video. Will new build videos include "Water-Resistant Foam Board"?

Yet another great design and build video. You guys always do such a good job that it is easy to forget to say thank you. Thank you! I watch every single video and listen to every single podcast. I have nobody nearby to fly with and your videos and podcasts make me feel part of a gang.
A trivial question - where did you get that dual scotch tape dispenser from? I have been trying to find one for Ages!

I started out with bigger batteries in it (up to 2200 mAh) but that was too much weight and settled down at a 850mAh 3S. still get about 7 minutes of flight with it and the low weight makes the Mini Vector even more maneuverable and forgiving. I'm using a Multistar Elite 2204 2300kv motor and a 6040 propeller.
Great job Peter and thank you Flite Test for being so awesome!
