Micro electric Free Flight has grown in popularity over the past several years due to the availability of small electric power systems. These small models make for some great small field free flight fun. BMJR has teamed up with Tim Bucher to produce laser cut kits of designs published in his books " Stick and Tissue Modelers album" Vol,1 & 2. Although primarily intended for sport flying, FAC, SAM, and AMA are all now sanctioning electric power events.
