The new Mini Delta V2 is designed for stable long duration

flight at relatively slow speeds. While not being suitable for
aerobatics, this airframe excels in its stability and straight

tracking. Designed with micro FPV setups in mind, this

airframe features two component bays (top and bottom)
which give ample room for large batteries, multiple batteries

and FPV gear.

With a wingspan of just 46cm (18 inches), the Mini Delta is
suitable for outdoor flight in calm conditions with no wind or
indoor stadium flight in the hands of an experienced pilot.

The two videos below cover the complete build process as

set out in this manual. At stages throughout this manual
there are links to the relevant position in the build videos.
