One hundred years ago, most people could only dream about flying a plane of their own. Today we live in a very different situation, and with modern advancements in technology, we now live in a world where regular people can wield the controls of their very own plane that swoops through the sky with grace! It is in this spirit that we present the Kyosho Minium, an RC plane that allows for unprecedented and exhilarating movement in three dimensional space at a very attractive price. If you’re looking for a relatively simple, yet aggressive and high performance micro plane you’ve come to the right place. What this tiny plane demonstrates itself capable of is truly impressive. Right away you will be able to do figure eights and loops at high speed without breaking a sweat or getting frustrated, as the plane was carefully designed to be very forgiving and easy to maneuver.

The Minium comes with a remote control that uses three channel communication. The individual channels correspond to pitch, yaw, and throttle. With an extremely low total weight of just eighteen grams and a very efficient electric motor, you’ll be flying for a long time after a full charge of the internal battery. One of my favorite things about this specific model is the integrated display stand/AC adapter. This enables your plane can be displayed in all its glory while it awaits your return! The charge time for the on board battery is a very respectable 20 minutes, and there is an LED indicator light on the stand itself that lets you know when it’s fully charged; this way you can get back to the freedom of gliding through the air the moment it’s ready. Of course, a remote control/transmitter is included as well.

One of the more advanced features of this Kyosho model is the 2.4GHz communication method used, which actively scans for the most clear channels on which to transmit information. This significantly helps to ensure that communication between the plane and the transmitter remains predictable and consistent. In addition to that, you can fly with up to 26 planes near each other without harmful interference that could cause your beloved Minium to come crashing down. Knowing this you can feel free to invite friends to fly with you, without concern.

The wingspan is wide and attached to the fuselage, with a design as such that it is well suited for flying slowly and floating around banking turns. In fact, this micro plane is so light weight and effortless to handle that it can be flown comfortably and easily even inside a house! The vertical fin and tail wing are fixed to the fuselage like the wings for increased rigidity and ease of assembly.

The best part about the entire package is that no real assembly is required! As soon as the battery is fully charged, inserted, and AA replaceable batteries are loaded into the transmitter, you’re ready to fly! The versatility of this plane puts it into a class of its own. You can be sure that you’ll get plenty of use out of it, even during bad weather.

Everything from take offs and landings are a walk in the park with this RC plane; with its precise control individuals of all ages should have no problem picking up the transmitter to have some fun and see what Kyosho USA has to offer.
