Default RE: white wings paper glider converted to rc!

the electronics are from the AirHogs AeroAce, two 5.3ohm 6mm coreless motors, one 130mah lipo, and a 2 channel thrust differential RX/ESC. the signalling is propriatary, so only the AAs TX will communicate with the RX (unfortunately). a very small handful of people have made their own TXs though, but they had to do all the programming, ect, for it to work. all it takes is about 5 minutes to remove the electronics from the AA and even less time to reinstall the electronics into your own plane. the two motors together put out around 10 grams of thrust, so you'll need a total weight of 25 grams or less (the electronics weigh 10-12 grams, so that leaves you 10+ grams for the airframe). they're selling the AAs just about everywhere now-days, walmart, k-mart, target, toys r us. prices are 20-40 bucks depending on where you go and if they have a sale going on.
