RC Foam Glider Converted to Brushless R/C
When I was a kid I would put motors and props on every foam glider that I could get my hands on. Almost all were completely under-powered and amounted to a pile of duct tape with wires. There were a few successful flights once I understood things, but I never had a decent power source to work with. I was in a drug store last month and saw a $6.99 4.5' wingspan foam glider - I had just got into flying again and couldn't resist. The wings were poorly molded and one would fall right out of the fuselage. A bit of glue, dollar tree foam, and lots of glue and reinforcement turned the $6.99 chunk of foam into a decent flyer.
I wish they had flown this well when I was 3 and my dad used the Tee Dee .010!
