Hello there! If you are new here, you might want to subscribe to the Gear Diary RSS feed for updates on this topic.

This has to be the smallest Remote Controlled Airplane in the world. Measuring in at 3.5 inches, the Plantraco Micro Butterfly has a 4mm Motor with 32mm Direct Drive Propeller, a 0.38 gram receiver, a micro actuator for the rudder (rudder only on this one folks) and the remote has a charger for the plane’s LP30 lithium polymer Bahoma cell. The remote runs on 4 AA Batteries.

This tiny airplane can be had on the Microflight Plantraco web site for $149.99 To see how cool this little thing is, check out the youtube below.
