The MicroMax Pocket F3F is a great new fast slope soarer capable of extreme fun flying. The concept was inspired by Henning Plemo Schmidt (Sansibear), and with aero design by Christophe Bourdon. Structural design and implementation is by Anton Ovcharenko so this model is of the highest pedigree. Its inspiration was the lack of high performance small gliders optimized for fast slope flying.

The Micro Max is 1.15m ( 45in ) in span and features technology developed in F3K. Solid core machined rohacell foam cores in the wing and tails. Bladder molded fuselage. All molds are CNC aluminum.

A unique V-tail mounting system is used, with a machined carbon joiner that the end user must glue into a molded slot in the fuselage. V-tail linkage are simpler "L" bends which make removal of the tails very easy. Ailerons are controlled by "top drive" linkage and horns, borrowed from F3K.

Recommended servos are KST X08 for the wing and and KST X06 for the tails for a standard version. For the strong version if you plan to do some light DS soaring you may want to bump up to KST X08 plus or HS08 in the wings and X08 V5's for the tails.

There is a cutout in the wing saddle of the fuse to allow for ballast, although at this time we don't see any ballast options from OA. You could certainly make up your own.

Recommended battery is a 350-600mah 1S lipo. You will need a very small 4-6 channel receiver.

Thank you for this video. You are bigger man than most of us. You admit your mistakes, some people like to hide them. Thank you for all the tips.

Good work. You’ve got more patience than me!! 👏

I like the keepers you made... good idea! I bet pull spring would be fine unless you intend to DS it. Now that you made the pushrods work, you have the option.

Hi Ali,
It seems unfortunately that you've started this build on a dark and bad day :-)
you have used the aileron horns in place of tail horns. having some troubles to have enough gap is normal, for twice the thickness and a different size between them.
the x08 tray fits well, but you need to screw your first servo (close to LE) and push the tray in the fuselage after that.
The tray needs to be glued with CA on both sides.
like this, you have enough place to insert RX and lipo.
all fits very well, and it should have been quicker to ask Anton about some pictures.
ALL in this glider is designed to reduce the surfaces and elements drag.
So yes, the build needs some patience and reflexion more vs a bigger glider build.
Once you will fly this bird, I think will understand better all the choices and i think you will forget the little problems you've had.
Have a nice finish.

You can buy 316L TIG welding filler rod in 0.8mm from all the usual online shopping places - I use stainless filler rod for almost all of my pushrods as it's 1/10th the price of buying the same stuff from a model shop

Nice build, when do you plan on having some of these models back in stock?
