Alien Aircraft Gadget
 

I received this kit from a R/C magazine after they selected one of my building tips for an upcoming issue. Needless to say, I was very surprised and excited to have a new kit just before winter.

I found one reference to the AAGadget on this web site but it was a couple of years old and pretty short. If anyone has built this kit and has some tips or mods to share, I'd appreciate it.

i was thinking of building one of those also for a winter project and install led lighting and transparent covering for our nighttime flying excursions. already built the taylorcraft, they build up incredibly fast. would like to get their gamma kit also

RE: Alien Aircraft Gadget
 

What motor/ESC/battery/prop combo did you use in the Taylorcraft?

RE: Alien Aircraft Gadget
 

Do you have some problem with giving them a plug?
I'd like to know which rag it was and I'll bet I ain't alone.

Living proof, all things come to he who waits.
Took ya 6 weeks but I still appreciate the response.

Here's a pic of mine, built last year.
You will love building it as much as flying it, it's a great kit.
Mine flys on a Power-Up 250 Plus 1400kv with a GWS 8x4 EP, HURC 10a ESC and a 2s 1000ma LiPo.
It will get you hooked on A-A kits, I've built several and they are all a blast!

Thanks, David. Your response was exactly what I was asking for. And the photos are a nice bonus. Your Gadget looks fantastic!

RE: Alien Aircraft Gadget
 

Thanks,
I only made three minor mods.
1- enclosed the top of motor compartment. (for looks, no other benefit)
2- made a battery hatch so I would'nt have to remove the wing to swap batteries.
3- bent landing gear slightly forward and reshaped LG fairings to match. (keeps it from tipping over during grass landings)

I noticed the motor cover...really finished it off nicely.
Battery hatch sounds like a must and I'll take your tip on the LG.  I saw a YouTube showing this model with micro retracts...I may explore that option too.
Thanks again for the info!
