Great easy to follow tutorial. This could be the perfect first RC trainer plane.

Nice.... I converted a rubber powered Guillows Flying Machine to RC. Its one of my favorite no wind planes. I used electronics I purchased at Minimum RC.... Thanks for the introduction to AngelWings Designs... Love your flying site. Its perfect for slope soaring. I have acres of fields and woods where thermaling is easy peasy but nothing like your spot along the coast.

On cutting the holes for the servos, battery(ies), controller etc --- we all have dull X-Acto blades lying about, unsure of what to do with them. Grab yourself a small torch, or even just a lighter, heat the blade & sink it into the (poly-u) foam for some nice straight & controllable cuts. Experiment a bit on some scrap foam, to get a bit of experience of just how much it melts material away. Not a lot of heat is required, in fact, if it sizzles a drop of water, you got more than enough heat to do such small work. Mask & ventilation is an absolute requirement -- the fumes are bad for you, the dust from grinding/sanding that material is far worse. We've fabricated & repaired hundreds of thousands of dollars' worth of surf/wind-surf boards this way. Edit: Heating up a up a steel pin/nail will do nicely for making the holes too.

Using heated metal to melt out foam does have its uses - in fact you can (with experience) make up blank forms for things like servos. But it also has its limitations. As said, the fumes are toxic. So use ventilation. Also the foam is just melted to solid plastic, thus no weight is removed before adding your servos, receivers, motors etc. (Important if trying for lightest weight builds, in which case some masking tape, a sharp blade and a router (as shown by Bavarian RC in his builds) plus a vacuum cleaner are a better idea. 1 plus of melting the foam is that some plastic strength is added around the excavated areas thus beefing up the thinner sections a bit.

It still would require a small engine to get up into the air.
Cracking Job. I would say its perfect for any Beach trip with the Kids. 👍 63 g 😋

I have same foam glider (not yet radio control converted). Launching it "discus style" holding from a wingtip makes for dramatically longer flights than using regular toss launch. If the wing control conversion is rugged enough to survive the discus throw, give it a try.

Great vid, thanks! Am trying to do one for my daughter following your vid. What holds the wings in position? Or is it simply the control rods that stop them from slipping off?
