Its like the Big Free Flight Kit Dakota  had a Baby Brother.

We have here the FREE FLIGHT Baby Micro Electric 12 inch Span Dakota ( Can be converted to RC)

See the photos we have not unpacked the parts, but we have taken a pic or two.

This is probably one of the best value models in the BMJR Micro Electric Range

The mini-Dakota is a P-Nut, 12" wingspan, half size version of Joe Wagner's Dakota. It has been engineered for micro electric free flight with the HiLine Micro-4 motor. The small motors from the Tony Ray Kits or Park Zone or E Flite Kits can be used.

The wood and fittings are included for Free Flight. No electronics, No Motor. There is a plan and comprehensive building instructions, and the kit is topped off with some very nice lightweight tissue which can vary in colour. It’s mostly yellow. Very similar tissue to the old light weight model span (from memory).

Something like a Vapor Motor and Gear Box would be great for Free Flight and Maybe  one of the larger Motor Sets ( Ultra Micro Series ParkZone Mustang, Suikhoi etc)

We don’t have suitable RC listed on eBay, but the store we sell these for does. steve_webb_models on eBay. They also have available on other selling platforms. We cannot put a link as it is against eBay rules. We would advise to get the kit, study it and go from there!

Micro-Electric is a sport free flight type to be flown in small spaces like school yards or indoors. With the advent of micro brushless motors and LiPo batteries these models are finding themselves more and more as micro-RC. If you do not fly Micro RC already, we advise you to get a model that is a dedicated RC model, to learn how to convert Free Flight Models like this one.

This listing is for a 12 inch Laser Cut Replica Micro Dakota. The Details below are the history of the original ( the original is not on sale in this listing)

History of the design

Note the following refers to the 1949 ½ A Free Flight Model. The Model you are buying as above is a replica at 12 inch span for Free Flight or RC conversion if you know how. SWM also stocks the larger version. As below.

The Original Dakota was designed in September 1949,  and was Joe Wagner's first design that was kitted. The Dakota was designed as a "foolproof"  1/2A free flight and incorporated several features that provided automatic stability in flight. The BMJR kit includes all laser cut parts, includes notched wing leading edges and the pre-bent landing gear wire. Everything needed to build this model is in the box except glue, engine, and a fuel proof coating. BMJR is delighted to have had the opportunity to work with Joe on his re-release of a true all-time-classic. 24" span. Model was originally flown with an OK Cub .049. We have also built and flown 1 with a Baby Bee (went OOS on an almost full tank) and a Pee Wee 020

You can collect from SWM, but please arrange via eBay or call the store to arrange.

Note the price on eBay may differ to our other selling platforms.

Thank you for looking at our listings we cannot combine this easily with items from SWM or other SWM listings. This item is on eBay and eBay rules restrict to what we have listed which is understandable. It's very difficult for us to answer specialist models with so many options as it can be seen as selling off the listing. Its a rigid policy which is difficult as the internet is fluid and its easy to google details. Cobbewebb is physically NOT at the SWM address. Cobbewebb does not have the full range listed on eBay. Just Occasional models to promote awareness that SWM has the range available.
