Default RE: CL to RC conversion?

There are a number of models available that were originally designed for CL but have been released as RC, the Nobler being one of them.

Personally, at one extreme I built an RC model based on my competition stunter with the only major change being a much more bulky fuselage to hold all the radio gear. It flew magnificently (by my son, not by me ).

At the other extreme I built a competition stunter that didn't come up to expectations so I took off the tuned pipe and hid nearly all the RC gear in the pipe tunnel. It flew great too even with the leadouts still dangling from the wingtip. It was just a bit too fragile for RC flying though...one rough landing put an end to it.

Any of the modern CL stunt designs would make perfect (and unusual) RC models.
