I think Horizon is about to release a micro stryker tomorrow. Been keeping a close eye on this thread- www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1471570&page=48Second post down has a sneek peak picture of it. I actually had a dream last night about it. ChuckTSeeker showed me a vague picture of it before everyone else and it was still a prototype and it was all white without any paint on it yet. He wouldn't tell me what it was but it was obviously a micro stryker. Looks like it has rudders. Wonder what it has for a power source? Hopefully a brushless motor. If I remember right it doesn't have the same brushless motor as the beast and sbach someone said. I already want one, if its at a price point of around $100. Should be interesting. |

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
How awesome is that!!!
It even has the dual rudders! It might do everything the big one can do!! AWESOME!!
Like you said, Basher, it is almost as expensive as the full sized one...
Humm...

If it was around $130 I'd be interested, but at this price I'll stick to my dollar tree foamies.

You know, it might be worthwhile trying to design a scratch foamie that is something like a micro Stryker!
Gabe did that. I wonder if he would share his design?

Kent You know I was thinking the same thing, I did build the foamie that I called the stingray, and in my opinion it flew similar to the stryker comparing to what Ive seen in videos. I might make a version 2 of it. |

Oh my gosh, oh my gosh, oh my gosh! I need this!
Scratch built micro Stryker never was perfected. I tossed it out before the move. Micro Dan has some cool micro motors and parts for that size. I had wing loading issues and too much weight.
For $159, I'm in. Ordering tomorrow.

That's almost too good to be true. It looks like it flies just like its big brother.
This is the first PKZ Um brushless. This sets it up on the same level as the UMX Eflites. I think we can look forward to more coming out soon.

Well, they're on backorder everywhere. Even HH is out of them. Dang. Hobbytown will have them in within two or three weeks at the $159 price. I guess I'll have to wait until then. I think this thing may be ripe for mods With all our experience I bet we could do some quick tests, figure out the max amps for certain props, slap some epoxy on the thing with some Gorilla Tape for hinge tape and have the world's fastest micro! |

You're probably right about that Gabe. |
