hey i got this plane from a friend were trying to figure out what kind it is ..
please help me identify it thanks!!

I do reckongnize it,wont be long before someone will have the answer for you.

It's an "Armadillo"

How about wings on a stick

Looks like a SPAD of some sort.
In case you're not familiar with SPAD, it means simple plastic aircraft design.
There is a SPAD forum on RCU, and there is a web site devoted to them at www.spadtothebone.com
The SPAD concept allows people to build very tough airframes for very little money.
If they crash they often suffer little damage and can usually be flying again in minutes.
I have only seen a couple of SPADs.
They seemed to fly much like wooden planes.
In our club, most members fly wooden planes; but we all gathered around to check out the aluminum/plastic planes and enjoyed watching them fly.

I think you're right. Here's the armadillo web page

I originally guessed SPAD

Ditto thats definatel an Armadillo

NOT armadillo- it is an " AIRMADILLO"! They are not indestructable but they fly ok. The one I flew was not in the trainer catagory. Needs a good 46BB.

POS

can someone send me the instructions on how to mount the servos and rx and battery and how all the linkage works


A pic of someone elses would also work thanks

Sorry, left out the "i".

Airmadillo Kombat 40 or Trainer 40 depending on the wingspan. Fly great with an OS .46 LA. Better with a ball bearing .46
I have a .60 sized bipe from the same company.

Sez you.
They fly great and are *****in ugly. All parts replaceable too.

I had the twin fuselage version. They were into Coroplast long before SPAD was born. As I recall, everything zip-ties in place. I had 2 piped Fox .50s on mine. I got tail flutter so I ran a threaded rod between the fins. Worked fine. Man, would it flat spin! Had the glide ratio of a brick.

My father still has the one I flew. I will see if he can take some pics of the servo setup and send em to me.
I can say that you attach the servos to each other in pairs with the output shafts on opposite sides and install them in between the square stock pieces then cable tie them in. One set goes before those plates in between them and the tank, one set behind those plates. The aileron servo arm is detached from the servo each time you remove the wing leaving it with the pushrods which are attached with quick connectors. The throttle, rudder, and elevator servos remain attached.

Anyway, when my dad sends me the pics, I will post em here. His was originally a trike but while I had it, I converted it to a taildragger and thats how it remained.

I have the biplane version but it had a pretty bad wreck and is still being repaired.

thanks ill appreciate ur pics thanks adam
