Converting foam glider to R/C

My local hobby shop (and the toy store next door) both sell these big foam hand-launch gliders that look like 747's. They probably have a 3 or 4 foot wingspan. I wonder... has anyone ever converted...

Are all FM digital proportional radios narrow band?

I'm looking at buying a used ACOMS AP-472 FM 4-channel radio. I do not know how old it is, but it looks newISH at least. The box says it's 72.790 MHz, and that it will work for planes, boats, or...

Elevator/Rudder or Elevator/Aileron controls?

Well, both of these planes are stunt planes, so I guess I'm looking at ailerons. I'm glad I didn't try it before I knew, otherwise I'd likely have plane pieces by now. Thanks!

Elevator/Rudder or Elevator/Aileron controls?

I'm converting my old Line Controlled planes to R/C, and I was planning on simply building a larger rudder with a hinged control surface, in addition to the elevators that are already there. However,...

draing the batts?

The last set of Sony 1800 mah NiMh batteries I purchased said they were good for over 2000 recharges. I do slow-charge my NiMh batteries, though (~5 hours). I always have one set loaded in the...

draing the batts?

Err, why not just switch to NiMh and have a battery that will never have memory, and is pretty much always going to work? I have NiMh batteries in my minidisc players, my CD player, my digital...

What is the best way to launch a glider?

Hi-Start? What's that? Are you talking about the giant rubber band, stake, and the special tensioner tool? Or am I thinking of something else?

Anyways, I've had great luck with this setup in the...

EconoKoat

First time building/flying a powered RC airplane.

Look, I'm just trying to get back into the hobby and see if I like it. I don't want to go to an "insured" event with a lot of hooplah. I just want to find an isolated field and fly for a while....

First time building/flying a powered RC airplane.

Back in middle school and high school I used to fly a radio controlled sailplane. It was made of styrofoam, and I must have crashed it 20 times. The thing was more 5-minute epoxy than it was...
