Not sure what you have there and its hard to tell from the pics. So do measure your
wings and if they are not you need to understand that can become a much bigger project.
Also as noted most RC airplanes fly at around 25% MAC or a little more and many controlline models are around 10% or perhaps a little more. So you need to make allowance for that as well.
Ya keep on bashin

Thnx Guy's!
Some one else brought that to my attention ,an I did measure it .they are the same size at 24'' from fuse to wing tip.!
It is a twister!
The rudder was hinged for adjustable angle as well ,so all I have to do is add the control rod!
The person who built this was heavily into CL flying ,he built several planes ,an probably figured he would build them the same!
They where in a barn that they had to clean out because they sold the property & orchard fields!
I will take pics of the measures & rudder!...
I don't see any reasons why this cant be flown as rc,,Ive seen all kinds of funky stuff fly!.....
