Conversion of Earl foamie Lear Jet to full control
I have one of the cheap foamie Earl Lear Jets and it comes with only throttle and rudder control.
It flies very well but it would be nioce to have aileron and elevator control.
Has anyone tried converting this model to use full function radio.
Weight will be a problem.
I guess it is just a case of trying it and then seeing how well it flies.
Maybe a higher voltage battery pack would be the way to go if the current motors can take it, otherwise I may even consider using brushless motors.

RE: Conversion of Earl foamie Lear Jet to full control
I might get one and convert it, although I am also going to use it as a test platform for my reverse thrusters when I get to that stage.
