It's a RIPPER!

Just a quick update - The Mini Q has gone through a process of continual refinement. The quality if much better than the earlier produced models. They are stronger and also a bit lighter. A lot of attention has been given to the wing spar with double thickness joiner and carbon cap and even the paint has been drastically improved. The Mini Q offers a ton of performance, great durability and an unbeatable price. Why fly foam when you can fly composite?

I'd like to start off with a response from one of our first pilots:

"OMG!! The Mini Q flew awesome today! The winds were 22-25 mph today and the Mini Q was on fire. It is a ripper. Really fun plane, handles well and my landings were awesome. You just have to slow it down on the backside and it lands slow and easy."

"The guys flying them are tickled pink by how nice they fly."

I'm not sure I can explain this plane much better. This is a FUN plane that works really well and has a great price. We are really pleased with the performance and ease of flight. 

These planes are very easy to build, just mounting 2 servos and linkage. It is important to have slop free servos and linkage. We like the KST X08H servos. They fit the wood trays and are very accurate servos. 

The Mini Q can fly in rather light slope lift, and they have also flown well with no ballast with 35 mph winds. 

Don't have a slope nearby? No problem, the Mini Q has a removable nose and fire wall for electric flight. She will not need much power to fly, probably 150 watts would be fun, but we think a lot of power would be fun also. This plane can zip along pretty quick, so prop for speed!

The Mini Q is is what we call a "plank" design, that means it flies very efficiently when dialed in just right, but if you are a little off on your center of gravity or elevator throws, you will have a very difficult time. This is the nature of any Plank design. You hit that sweet spot and you are rewarded! What is that sweet spot? CG is 15 to 25mm, elevons up at 3mm from center, and the throws should be about 2mm up/down for elevator, and roll are 8mm up/down.

Kits include removable canopy, removable nose cone, motor mount for electric motors, removable vertical fin, servo covers and control horns and linkage bits. Wooden servo trays fit KST X08H servos nicely. 

We have a discussion about this plane on our forum:

NOTE: Numbers in the photos show the top and bottom of paint designs.

Can the Mini Q DS? Bruce seems to think so. Current record is 210 mph.

Nice and Inexpensive!
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4, Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
Thé shelves are good quality and easy to hang. Thé instructions do leave a bit to be desired as they misidentify which anchor to use for dry wall. I followed instructions for the first shelf and it was not very stable. I switched to the other anchors and it was great. All hardware in included. These require minimum size holes in your wall, but it is a floating shelf so be prepared to patch when you take them down.  It’s a set of 4 so a good value!

Not worth the time
Color: Light Brown, Size: 4
Plastic pieces for the dry wall broke and also created an even bigger hole in the wall. One of the shelves wouldn’t even stay level despite following all instructions. Wood gives you splinters as well since it’s not sanded down.

Solid Floating Shelves 🛠️🏠
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 4, Size: 15.7in
I have installed four sets of the black floating shelves in my office. They are made of high quality materials, featuring a sophisticated black woodgrain finish with a natural texture. Supposedly, each unit can handle up to 22 pounds, though I would not recommend testing that limit with your vintage bowling ball collection if you value your flooring. They are awesome. The value is good for a set of two. Each shelf measures 22x7x1 (56x17x3 cm) inches, providing a decent amount of storage for books or decor. The installation was straightforward since the hardware for multiple wall types was included. They work well in the kitchen for spices or in the bedroom for personal belongings. One tip for a secure fit: use a level during installation and make sure the bracket is flush against the wall before sliding the shelf on, or your photos might look like they are sliding off a mountain 📐 These shelves offer a clean, modern look and stay stable once mounted correctly. They are a practical choice for adding functional display space to any room 🖼️

Good looking shelves and easy install - skip the included drywall anchors
Color: Black, Number Of Shelves: 2, Size: 22in
I installed these shelves in a bedroom to get things off my dresser and some decor. Once mounted they look really nice. The black finish looks clean and modern and they blend in well with the room. Installation was pretty straightforward. The metal bracket mounts to the wall first and then the shelf slides over the bracket. As long as you take your time lining things up it’s a simple project. One thing I strongly recommend is not using the white plastic self-drilling drywall anchors that come with the kit. I’ve used that style before on other projects and they tend to strip out easily and leave larger holes in drywall. I used better anchors instead and the shelves mounted much more securely. The rest of the hardware worked fine and once installed the shelves feel solid and hold items well. Pros - Clean modern look - Easy installation - Feels solid once mounted - Good size for books or decor Cons - The small level included isn’t very accurate — use your own level - One of the metal brackets was slightly bent out of the box but straightened out easily Helpful tip: Use your own level and better drywall anchors if you have them. It makes installation easier and the shelves will mount much more securely. Final thoughts: For the price these are nice looking floating shelves that install easily and work well for light storage and decor.
