Default The Hauler Mk1

This is the modified Hauler It started out as a Viper Ailerons are controlled by two HS85's mounted under the wing and covered with a streamilined pod This will give solid postive control instead of soft torque rod response. The elevator is mounted in the wing where the aileron would be and the pushrod goes straight back again giving postive control Right now it weighs 3lbs 6oz but we will put insome big batteries and get the weight up to 3 1/2 It is not a heavy Hauler Two flights were made sat but the wing has a warp and needs to be straightened

Will they let that bird in a legal NMPRA race?

I can't take credit for the wheels My partner did the final assembly I had no experience with them since I never have had a ARF kit I just built the booms and elevator and painted it From what I saw I think they could leave them out of the kit and no one would care
