For a while now I have had a hankering for a slow, relaxing plane that would stay aloft for a long time, be quiet, easily used to introduce friends to R/C, and teach my son to fly on. I envision it being flown kind of like a motor glider. I have recently picked up a Seniorita and an OS 30 four stroke. I want to do the following to the Seniorita and am looking for advice from others who have done similar:
1. Add Ailerons. What size?
2. Add Flaps. What size
3. Reduce dihedral. How much?
4. Make it a tail dragger.
5. Change outline of flying serfaces to a more rounded, cub like shape.
Thanks
1: Done it: Barn-door ailerons.
2: Doesn't need them.
3: Take it all out.
4: Done it: ran wire thru fuse from rudder, requires mount plate on bottom of fuse for reinforcement.
5: Can if you want, I just enlarged my rudder.
Also added bomb drops, have floats and skiis.
