Shown with 4-Site Motor & Landing Gear

Aerobatic Micro Park & Indoor Flyer

Slick-3D-Micro will do amazing aerobatics… in your yard, park, or indoors.  Huge control surfaces + Huge throws = WILD!  But... it's very slooow, which makes flying it a breeze... even in a slight breeze!  Capable of hovering and other 3D maneuvers in a small area.

Slick-3D-Micro was designed as a low-cost airframe for your ParkZone or E-flite ultra-micro gear, from your 4-Site, P-51, or Sukhoi.  Simply transfer your radio equipment and motor from a "bashed" ultra-micro, and you're back in business.  You can even use the landing gear from your 4-Site!  Pushrods and other accessories may also be used.

Slick-3D-Micro has been engineered for strength, lightness, and great flying fun. The plane assembles very quickly from accurately machined components.  Testing has proven it to be extemely robust and resistant to crash damage too.

The highly maneuverable Slick-3D-Micro can be flown on an inexpensive 1-cell lipo battery. Flight times are amazingly long... exceeding 12 minutes on a tiny 240mah lipo!  Brushless power options will be available from us soon.

What Else Do I Need?
Sub-micro Radio Gear & Motor
from your E-flite 4-Site or ParkZone P-51 or Sukhoi. Just
getting started in micros? We sell micro flight gear and
accessories to suit your needs.

Power Options
Slick 3D Micro flies extremely well on either brushed or
brushless power. The 4-Site motor in a P-51 gearbox is the
optimal brushed setup, and the AP05-3000Kv outrunner
with XP-3A ESC provides excellent brushless power.

LiPoly Battery & Charger
Hyperion 25C lipos are highly recommended.
We have used 120-1S and 240-1S with great results. Ask
us about charger options.
