PICTURES
Intro includes great footage of this Manic Micro in the air.
Index for your convenience!
This thing sure is small!
300mah 2s is the sweet spot for flight time!
Paper is strategically removed from the fuse to keep weight down and strength up.
Hooking up the servos can be a pain, see how I do it in a breeze!
Each strut is cut to the exact length required making the top wing effortless.
All square here!
It's the little details that make for the exciting presentation.
With a swappable pod you'll be able to build all the Manic Micro birds!
The completed nnTiger Moth is beautiful, great work!
If you build a Manic Micro nnTiger Moth, please make a post and share your work. I love getting to share in the experince with you. #nerdnicRC on Instagram your photos to share with others.
Thanks for checking out the Manic Micro nnTiger Moth! If you built one and enjoyed it please consider donating a few bucks so I can buy more supplies to make more great planes.

Another great design! I did miss where you mounted the receiver and what are your recommendations for securing the prop? A little insight please before I order the parts.
Thanks, WJ.

For the prop I got a big bag off ebay a while back but I've added a link in the SPECS to where you can find them now.

I used a DYS d1410 motor and it worked well at 3/4 throttle swinging a cheap 5030. I have a 4030 to try next. Emax ES9251s worked great. For the RX I went with the FS2A 4CH AFHDS 2A Mini. A 300mah 2s powered everything for about 4 min till the 7.4v mark. AUW was 80.44g. It was pretty warm but not too hot after. It was 94°F and sunny that day though.The plane requires minimal throw in the ailerons. I used a bit too much and nosed it in on maiden launch. The firewall came apart after the second flight. I think I'll install a hatch on the bottom for the battery and permanently install the firewall to the fuse. Overall everyone at the field loved the plane and said it flew beautifully on the second attempt. Thanks for the most excellent build vid and plans. Hope to see you at FFE this year.
