The Micro Stick from Radical RC (www.radicalrc.com - look under Kits-Electric Flight)

The flight performance and speed envelope of this plane has to be seen to be believed!
At last - a small model that uses simple gear! The Micro Stick is HOT at full throttle, much faster than you'd expect, yet the wing loading is that of an indoor flyer. Weighing in at only 3-4oz (85-110g), it's hard to believe this model only needs your typical park flyer gear. Two 5g or less servos like the GWS pico or Waypoint W038, a mini Rx and a 2 amp GWS or Pixie 7P speed control. Any 250 to 700mAh LiPo pak works well. A prop reamer is needed as the 3x3 props are too tight on the 50XC motor shaft.
You are sure to turn heads and have a heap of fun with this little beast. Wingspan is 17" (430mm) and wing area is 88 in2. Length is 14.5" (370mm), and weight is 3-4 oz. The wing is held on with a simple magnet, so battery changes are quick and easy.
The pictures below are of my own model, which weighs 105 grams (heavy!!) with a 450mAh LiPo. The flight performance is just amazing!
