Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

I opened up the nose following micro_builder's lead by Xactoing the nose seam, then just pulling it apart. then carved some foam out of forward nose to make space for the battery to move forward, as mentioned in an earlier post. then I just tacked it back together with regular zap...if it melted the foam, I can't see it. I squirted a bit in there, it grabbed in 10 sec. or so, and it's solid and everything is working fine.

has anyone else done what I did---adding more wing area to the top wing without removing the bottom wing? it makes it much more like a sailplane and it flies real slow and is definitely controllable...and responsive to little micro thermals. Fun, and a very different airplane, and definitely not faster.

I like Nick's idea...replacing the wings with Depron...maybe a long, polyhedral top wing and a little short bottom wing.
