Default Finally tried it! What a blast! (Foam glider conversion to rc)

I finally tried making an rc plane out of a foam glider. Bought this one about 3 years ago at a "Big Lots". Mounted an .049, 2 standard servos, standard battery, hitec reciever and had a blast today. Video can be watched of it on my site.

Hope you enjoy!

Yes sir. That's all the control ya need on one of these. I felt like ailerons was a better choice over the rudder. Oh well, they are not coordinated turns. It still a bunch of fun! LOL.
