Bronco 14" Maiden Flight.
Please excuse the great cinematography and accompanying narrations by my 5-year old daughter/sidekick/wingman...
This is a very stable design, @AgentC !
What a blast! I've been using the EZ Bronco v1.2 to play catch with my Son, and it's a winner! We're amazed at how well it flies! I'll be adding the EZ 3ch Pack to a couple of these, for sure! Great job! (y)

Thanks, Addicted!
Love what you did with the prop section for the chuck glider! So clever! (I might steal that idea, if you don't mind?).

Any other modifications that you think will improve the design, throw them my way!

"...throw them my way!" I see what you did there!

I can't really see anything to improve. It's great as is! (y)
I did cut a slit in the bottom of the fuse, and slipped in a couple washers for CG. I'm thinking of trying a bottom mount cavity for the EZ Pack battery, if the batts are narrow enough. If so, it can still be adjustable for CG, and mostly out of sight.

Look familiar?!?
It's an EZ Mini EZ Glider!

This beta version weighs in at about 60g with the 3-channel parts installed.
Once the kinks are worked out, plans will be up!
As expected, it's a great chuck glider, even with the paper removed.

Fun-fact: This model will use the Freighter attachment for the control board and battery :)

Could someone post the dimensions of the battery and servo in the EZ 3ch Power Pack, please?! (Metric or Imperial)
Needed for plans I'm working on. I'd measure them myself, but the packs I've purchased are still on back order. (n)
Thank you!

Here you go!
Battery is the same as the 2-channel. The control board is different to include the servo, see the attached image, and the motors are 7x20 instead of 7x16's.

Awesome! Thank you, so much!
And thanks for the motor and board info as well. I had no idea there was a size difference for those.
Can I bother you for the dimensions of the board, Sir @AgentC ?

I noticed that your receiver wire is different for the one in the 2 channel pack does it make any difference that the is covering on the entire wire or not because my wire got cut a little

The boards are the same size: 37mm x 20mm.

The receiver wire on the 3-channel is totally different. Placement isn't behind at the top, but rather bottom corner. The full covering doesn't seem to make any difference, though. It fits through the Freighter slot just fine.
