In my latest attempt to get into the "performance" RCRG crowd I give you this cobbled mess. My parents bought me a Blue Arrow Angel DLG a VERY long time ago. I had put "budget" servos in it and in turn crashed the thing. I let the leftovers languish in my parent's basement for years until I found them a few weeks ago. The wing was in good shape with the exception of one of the wing tips. The only other salvageable parts were the tailboom and the stabilizer mount (which was, as it turns out, irrevocably glued to the boom.)
I cut off the wing tips, fashioned a pod from some heavier contest balsa, made new tail feathers, and outfitted it with proper electronics and voila. An RCRG that at least looks half way decent. We'll see how she flies.
Wing span: 25.5"
Wing Area: 100 sq. in.
Glide Weight: 94g (3.3oz)
Control: Rudder/Elevator
Motors: A8, B6, C6, Quest C6
Electronics: Spektrum AR6255 Rx, 2x Dymond D47 servos, 2S 180mAh LiPo battery
I'm hoping to make the first flight today, so wish me luck!
