i took a shot and tried electrifying the little Fling, the one straight off the plans. .6g actuator for the rudder, AA motor and prop, Silverlit SingleWing Plane RX, and a 50mah lipo from the Picco (talk about a grab bag of parts!).

unbelievably, it actually flys, and very quickly. i'll need to reduce the size of the rudder as it gives way too much turn. unfortunately, i'm having a little issue with the RX so i need to tinker with that a bit more, but i got few little flights to show me that it will actually fly. the motor has 0 degrees thrust on it, and the weight is at 7.2 grams. with 0 degrees thrust, it didnt want to climb much untill i really gave the little canard wing a high positive angle.

i'll try to get the RX working tonight so i can get some more time with the plane tomarrow.
