It's not only small, it's also very cheap and simple. But the the AirAceII "Betty" can fly and my FPV kit only has a weight about 15g .. therefore I want to know if both work together.
The Betty is only controlled by differend motor speeds and really weak with it's 6V batterie. There are now two options to really fly with that .. get the bigger AirAceII B-17 with 4 engines or put a 7.2V lippo batterie into the Betty.
Looks good but the range of the 27MHz tx isn´t beautiful. You can try to add a longer copper wire to the tx. This works very well in my old X-Twin.
And you can try to install small 3-5g servos for better controlled flying.

Thanx. You're right .. the range can be improved with the correct length of the antenna. I think I'll try it and use this tool: http://forum.xufo.net/res/dawidi/antenne/
Only install servos is not enough. If I want do that, I had to replace the receiver and all the other electronik stuff (motor controller). But then it's more simple to build up a completely new plane in this size.

The main limitations are now wind and the poor range of the 27 MHz tx.
Hi ygramul
Wow I never thought you could get any thing that light and small to fly out doors. I must find my small all in one camera and TX and buy a small plane, it looks like fun and cheap.

well done.
Thank you Njoro. It's funny but also very shakey. If you plan to do longer flights it's better to get a more stable plane.
one of my colleague have such a plane.. I but I just tried to fly it.. without success. very hard to control that think with joystick which have buttons instead of normal sticks. But I also think.. that servos will totally make a such plane awesome..
