Lil Hornet
If your here you probably read the review in Micro Flight on the Lil Hornet. It is a great ship. I stock the components here. The article infers you get the kit and all electronics for $50. This is of course just a mis-print that has been corrected in the internet version of Micro Flight.

| Hornet Battery pack | 720 7 cell built to special shape for the Lil Hornet. This is the LIMIT! An 8th cell will toast the stock motor. You can use up to 6 350 Nicads but you are wasting your money in this case. Go with the 720-7! Comes without connectors. Use your own or JST below. | $24.00 | |
| Hornet Hop-up Battery Pack. | NOTE! This is for the GWS-370. 8 cell built to special shape for the Lil Hornet. Pack comes with wire ready for your connector. | $27 | |
| GWS Pico Servos | .2 oz with BB. These little 9oz torque gems are the choice servos for most micro flight applications. SPECIFY CONNECTORS. You need two for Aileron and elevator. Add a 3rd if you want rudder. I've flown them both ways and each type is fun! | $23.00 ea | |

This is the iron on Heat-Tak, but I think it works better to put a small amount of CA or Epoxy on the surface, lay the carbon down and squeege out as much glue as possible.

GWS-370 Hop Up Buyers! PLEASE NOTE! The wing location must be adjusted forward due to the higher motor and battery weight. You'll need to account for this on your own when you build the kit. Build your pushrods leaving them long on the servos side so you can finish them after final wing location is found. Lock the wing location in. It does not affect the flying abilities to make these minor changes. Lead has NO BUSINESS in a model airplane. Adjust your wing and component locations to get a lead free balance.

Had a great morning with the Ltl Hornet. These guys
just can't believe
what it does in a 8 to 12 mph breeze.

Dave:
Just to tell you that the Lil Hornet you shipped in
late August is a great
success. I've been flying it for nearly a month and
enjoying it thoroughly.
With the 720 NiMH pack it flies for around 10 minutes,
including lots of use
of full throttle. It handles a light breeze well,
but is most fun in calm
conditions. So now I have something with which
I can practice aerobatics at
the park near home.
My Lil Hornet is a bit on the heavy side at 12 oz,
but that includes a
beefed up landing gear and rudder servo. For most
flying these are probably
not really necessary, but I like doing touch-and-goes,
as well as full stop
landings, and the rudder really makes a difference
there. Incidentally, I'm
using JR radio............
