Default RE: Air Hogs Aero Ace!

The jet/bipe is out of the tree and now is a mono with canards. Pics included.

I stripped down the titan yesterday, taking notes, with the carcass I decided to make a plane the kids can play with. Then I pulled out the carefully stripped out AAjet. If you were careful in taking the jet apart two pennies in the battery box will make this an awesome glider. I just stuck the pennies in loose. For the titan I put 4 nickels in the nose area. If an adult throws it the wing loading puts it into loop. But with the additional 20g it should let the kids launch it from upstairs and get some glide. If you want to demo wing loading on a 4' scale this works well. I had to put some tape running the length of the wing becauce I didn't want to see that anymore.

Ok here are the pics. Is anyone other that Djstinger and myself running this mod? I mean the jet/bipe switchover. Dj's has lights and wheels, mine just has canards[], but I will persevere. Tim
