FT Mighty Mini Jenny
Step back into the golden age of aviation with the FT Mighty Mini Jenny—a charming, fast-build tribute to the legendary Curtiss JN-4 “Jenny” biplane!
Designed by the talented Dave Jester, this 30-inch sub-250-gram wonder goes from build table to skies in as little as one hour. With simple 3-channel control (rudder, elevator, throttle), it flies incredibly slow and stable—perfect for large gymnasiums, backyard cruises on calm days, or classic barnstorming fun.
This special Mighty Mini holds extra heart: it was created as a surprise for Jen Bixler, the beloved backbone of Flite Test and Josh Bixler’s wife, who’s dreamed of a “Jenny” in the FT hangar for over 10 years. Dave knocked it out of the park, honoring her passion for vintage aviation and that perfect name!
Powered by the FT Power Pack A and a 800mAh 2S battery, enjoy up to 10+ minutes of gentle, smile-inducing flight. For extra scale realism, add optional 3D-printed engine halves & radiator, full cowling, or custom decal set—transform it into your own showstopper.
Grab your scarf, goggles, and hot glue gun—whether you're chasing slow-and-low nostalgia or making new memories, the Mighty Mini Jenny delivers pure joy.

Mighty Mini Jenny
best flite test plane out of the 3 i’ve built so far (tutor, cub and mini jenny) can take a hit, it’s fallen on its nose from 20 feet, no major damage, can fly on a full charge around 40-50% throttle depending on conditions for around 20 minutes give or take. i made skis for it so i could take off on snow and ice, worked surprisingly well. DOESNT NOSE OVER! big thing for me when landing. best 130 dollars i’ve ever spent, much better bang for your buck compared to the comparable umx for 30 less, and you can still fly it after a crash!
