Default RE: CL Gulliows kits?

THe only difference between a CL model and RC model is that we use an Bellcrank for the elevator so don't be scared to take an exsiting plan for an RC model and build from there. the only thing you would need to do is the following to convert an RC plan to CL

1) wing tip weight box
2) Leadout guide
3) Bellcrank
4) Rudder offset maybe, if you think you need it

If you want to install throttle control I have detailed information on this....

So my answer is to build from any set of plans that is the right size, construction and powerplant and convert it to CL. If you find a nice RC kit that you like convert it also!

Remember the location of the bellcrank does not matter (it can be in the tail and still work), the leadout position is critical and is best if you can adjust the location after the first flight.

Good luck,
