The dream of flight has always called to us—lifting our imagination beyond the ground and into the open sky. From simple paper gliders to finely crafted model airplanes, that spark often begins small but grows into something much bigger. For many, what starts as curiosity becomes a passion—to design, build, and fly lightweight model aircraft that climb higher, glide farther, and move with precision through the air.
Pocket Monarch – Precision Micro Catapult Glider
Built from contest-grade balsa wood and reinforced with carbon fiber, the 10 inch wing span Pocket Monarch offers an outstanding combination of rigidity, durability, and feather-light weight. Its carefully engineered polyhedral wing provides excellent inherent stability, allowing the glider to recover naturally and transition effortlessly from a powerful catapult launch into long, graceful glides.

All of our airplane models are fully compliant with Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) regulations and meet Remote ID requirements where applicable. Because all our model aircraft weighs under 250 grams, they fall within the FAA’s lowest weight category, which means it’s exempt from Federal Aviation Administration (FAA) registration and doesn’t require Remote ID in the U.S. That saves you time, paperwork, and extra equipment costs compared to heavier RC aircraft.Micro RC Gliders & Airplanes

Fly On
Every single human being has a level deep inside their mind that will bring total calmness. Meditation gives you that space between you and your body, between you and your mind. Flying RC Gliders has been proven to bring forth tangible benefits, in particular a more restful and focused mind. I have found myself able to concentrate deeply on the task at hand, to better adjust the volume on distracting background noise of ever growing stressful lifestyle we all encounter day by day.If you are new to this wonderful RC hobby, here you can find some helpful information on building a hand launch glider or DLG. Find out what the best DLG glider is for beginners.
With RC gliders, the fun factor starts with the knowledge to utilize environmental forces of mother nature such as wind, thermals, trees, altitude, the heat and the cold. Being mindful of your surrounding, taking in a deep breath of fresh air and dancing with nature. The art of gliding might take years of practice for some to fine tune, but the experience and journey is quite meditative and breathtaking.RC Thermal Soaring – Thermal lift is when warm air rises from the earths surface due to the suns warmth. Similar to hot air balloons as hot air is less dense than cool air, the heated air causes the balloon to rise. Buoyancy is an upward force that the air exerts helping in the lift factor. As long as warm air is constant, your rc glider will be able to sustain continuous lift.RC Slope Soaring – Slope Soaring or Ridge Lift is when wind hits the face of a cliff side or the side of a hilltop. When wind hits a slope surface, the direction of the wind is forced upward generating lift.Google Reviews
A guy at my job, told me about this site. He was praising the different models that are each unique and a different feel. Interesting enough, I want to get into plane flying. This industry calls them birds. So I changed my lingo a bit. I do not know how to fly a bird, I just wanted to see what this guy is talking about. I remember being a kid, and throwing paper airplanes from a balcony and watch it Glide.
So my back was itching, so I asked my co worker, bring it to work, and at lunch we went to a wide open space, and the neighborhood park was great place to fly without trees everywhere. We went to the local park with a open field and trees were not a issue. I love custom and hand crafted to perfection. My co worker through it up in the air and was flying it for about 2 and a half minutes the bird flew, until he crashed into a tree, and fell down, but no injuries to the plane. I had so much fun just watching it Glide. I loved paper airplanes as a young little kid, so this is my motivation, to even write this review.
He had the Fly On and told me each plane is designed from blue print down to design, the measurements, and its exterior that looks so sweet. I liked how it looked and how it performed. I asked him can I do this? Im a clumsy guy, so knowing me, I would crash on my first run, as these are not paper planes. From its performance down to the design and the looks, I was stoked. He told me you need a controller or should I say a Spektrum reciever. After I made the purchase of “Tiny Tail glider” model, I got the receiver my co worker recommended. Not to expensive at all. I was able to make this thing soar the wide open space for almost 1 minute. This is after practicing for couple weeks. That one minute of bliss turned into a minute and a half. It is hard, but I got lucky with my instincts.I see they have more models, and my back it itching. Coolest part is once I got the Spektrum reciever it can fly any birdie. Im already looking at other models, but just window shopping until I get better with the “Fly On” ,,, and can put it up in the air for 2 minutes or more. My father helped me assemble it. The instructions are so good. My father pretty much did all the work to put it together. Very technical guy; I did not take after him. Putting it together me and my father bonded like crazy, so thank you for that one MicroBirds. I have a new hobby, but props to this company. It made me and my father bond like never before, so once again thank you MicroBirds, and thanks for the instructions, and my father is very technical, so It did not take that long to put the “Fly On” together. Also in closing, the pricing of these different birdies is very fair. Thanks again MB. Fly On 🛩️
Everything went smoothly. It was delivered in Germany after 10 days. A very good kit.
this kit is looks so nice everything is so small but goes together beautifully and slope sores like a dream!
I love Tiny Tail
I let my 12 year old nephew to choose any bird he wants. He choose the Micro Jet, and I don’t blame him; such a deadly bird. Im good with technology, but Im not a technical guy, and Im not good with my hands. My brother in law, thankfully is more technical and the three of us got together and slowly slowly he built it. The video instructions are on target. Also cool this company is in US and not Ghina. We got a super cheap controller as I did not want to invest in something then have my nephew not be into it. No need to go all out, for me at least. So the three of us went to a local park, and embarked on a journey, in which we have no idea wtf were doing, but went for it. We got some spare batteries as well. It was a fun afternoon, and out of me, and my brother in law and nephew; My little nephew magically kept this amazing bird up in the air for almost 2 minutes. Fun hobby. Thanks MB.

I live in Australia shipping did take 2 weeks but arrived in excellent condition, i am now building my feather and truly enjoy the step by step build technique used, thanks much from down under can not wait to get skybound
My nephew is only 14 and I am 42 and have no flight experience but have some knowledge. I bought a Feather DLG Glider from MicroBirds and my nephew got a nice spektrum controller with ton of range and good battery life. I received my feather dlg rc glider in 2 days after order. The package came so nicely done and everything was in tact. I along with his dad began the building process and it was a success thanks to the step by step videos tutorial. We went to the park and it was a windy day but humid and hot as well. He was so excited to fly this new bird and boy did he fly it. He gain much altitude and was able to keep the bird up in the air for about two and half minutes. I was shocked he is only 14 and his experience is not that much. We we all happy that day ate some sandwiches and called it a day. Thank you MicroBirds for your exceptional service and shipping and quality of the kit. You have my business for life. Thank you
thank you Lee for such an amazing light weight glider, waiting anxiously for summer to slope with my firefly, cheers from Main JimBee
