Default RE: Second Plane?

you could put ailerons on the slow stick. it makes it even better. use a servo extension from the reciever to a y-harness. connect the y harness to a servo on each wing that is servo taped on its side and packing taped to the wing. dubro EZ connectors on the servo arm and the control horn connected by a short music wire. the wing has indentions where the ailerons should be. use packing tape for hinges. tape the loose wireing down. tape the servo connection to the slow stick aluminum tube. a brushless outrunner would complete the upgrade. ready to fly in 10mph winds and let you use ailerons and or rudder with elevator. the dihedral can be left in or when the time is right can be removed to learn that part. bend the aluminum tubes straight and put foam to block the space between the wing halves and re-tape. a second plane would be good too, but the slow stick would be a better second plane with the upgrades when time and money allow. so you could have slow stick upgrades leading the way to learning ailerons and no dihedral and it may save some crashes on a more expensive and better plane.
