Version 2
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.

Cut out this piece of foam and insert the balsa wood bulkhead – don’t glue it in. Then insert the two positioning tubes into the holes as shown (gluing not required) Video Link Apply wood glue to the balsa bulkhead.
- Page 5 Glue the plywood brace to the balsa canopy former Video Link Glue the 2mm plywood brace in place into the balsa base plate and set aside to dry. Video Link Glue the 5320 /5330 servos into the wing ribs (don’t use the servo screws) noting the orientation. Ensure you have a left and right mirrored set.
- Page 6 Place a steel ruler on top of the control surface and with the knife blade at a 30 degree angle, undercut a section from the edge. Video Link 30 degrees Sand a bevel on both sides of the edges of the control surfaces on all the other edges except the undercut one.
- Page 7 Remove the bulkhead from the Depron foam sheet and use a hobby knife to carefully scrape away any glue from the gaps. Video Link Set the bulkhead back down onto the foam sheet with the positioning tubes in the holes so it sits flat.
- Page 8 Build the Video Link display stand Glue the fiberboard parts to the base hatch cover. One piece on the bottom of the foam Video Link and one piece on the top as shown here. Glue these foam supports into the canopy frame. Video Link Glue these balance point supports onto the foam pieces as shown ensuring you have a left and right set.
- Page 9 If you intend installing an FPV camera you can mount the camera at this stage. We recommend camera systems similar to the one shown here which weighs 4.5 grams. See the MicronWings website for more info on this FPV setup.
- Page 10 Keep any packing behind these two holes to allow the canopy to slide fully into place. Front of canopy Packing Secure the FPV transmitter in place under the airframe or cut a slot for it to protrude outside. Use something with a sharp edge such as a cutting board and place it flush Video Link with the edge of a table.
- Page 11 Sand a bevel into the sides of the fuselage sides. Video Link With bevel sanded Glue the fuselage sides in place. Clear glue from exposed balsa Apply glue to the balsa frame and Video Link secure the foam sides in place. Use a match to scrape off any excess glue from the exposed balsa areas.
- Page 12 The brown sticker paper is applied to the back of the wings to reinforce the foam behind where the half cuts. Lay the wing sheets out with the side with the half cuts facing down and place the brown paper on the wing sheets to confirm the position. Mark two points on the wings as shown as a guide for when sticking the sheets on.
- Page 13 Use some material with a sharp edge and place flush with the edge of a table. Video Link Bend the sheet down to 60 degrees and run your fingers along the joint to ensure it is bent all the way along. The wing sheets should look like this when the bending has been completed.
- Page 14 Apply glue to where the bottom of the wing joins to the fuselage as well as along the line on the wing where the carbon spar runs and then attach the wing. Ensure it is flush with the fuselage and use some model masking tape to secure the carbon rod so it passes just in front of the slot.
- Page 15 Apply UHU Por Expanded Polystyrene glue to the following parts. Video Link Bottom surface trailing edge of the wing first. Then the foam rib on the fuselage Then to the fronts and top of each rib The top of the carbon spar. As before, gently work the wing’s top surface into place and clip it over the rib tabs.
- Page 16 Also give the sides of the canopy a light sanding – just a few strokes of the Video Link sanding block to smooth off the sides. Insert the canopy to make sure it fits firmly but not too tight. Sand more if needed. If you intend to apply stickers to the sides of the fuselage then now is a Video Link...
- Page 17 Glue the wing tips in place ensuring they are flush with the wing surface on the bottom. Sand again on the bottom edge to Video Link smooth off the wing surface tabs. Drill out the motor mount holes with a 1.2mm drill bit to clear out any glue. Video Link Attach the two motor mount spacers to the upper holes to give the motor...
- Page 18 Apply hinge tape such as Blenderm Hinge Tape to the bottom surface of the wing. Remember that on this model the control surface bevel is on the top of the control surface. Video Link Bend the tape down with your fingers as you position the control surface 0.5mm Video Link away from the wing.
- Page 19 Attach this control linkage part which attaches to the servo arm to the carbon Video Link pushrod. Note how much of the linkage overlaps with the carbon rod. A little UHU Por glue will hold them together while working and also help to form a strong bond when the heat shrink is shrunk.
