Mini Tee
I had recently scrapped my Peck Polymers © Mini-Bell for parts. I decided to keep the wing since it is in good shape. I was looking for a quick project to get me back in the air until I finished the other models currently under construction. While searching through my plan collection I came across the Airtronics © Q-Tee. This was my first trainer. It was powered by a Cox Black Widow 1/2A engine and controlled by an overweight 2 – channel radio. It was incredible how it got in the air with those standard size servos!!!
I reduced the plans to 67% to match the proportions of the Mini-Bell wing. The fuselage was covered with Econokote to match the covering on the wing. I made the motor mount for the GWS motor from an old Credit Card. Holes were drilled to match the screw holes and clearance for the hub. The plastic was then cut down to match the fuselage. The entire assembly was attached to the fuselage with small servo screws. To assist cooling I installed a GWS heat sink to the motor. The cooling slots in the cowl are functional.
