From a pile of rubbish to something that will fly? Unlikely, but this is the fuselage of a RC glider I bought for £10 ($17) in the Antiques Village, Manchester, UK.
It looks rough, but the wingspan is over 2m, and the fuselage is mostly intact, with control horns and pushrods installed and working.
The elevator is a little bent to one side, but I think it's fixable.
The wings have a balsa framework construction, with some form of thin plastic wrapping to complete the airfoil. It is a 3 part wing that doesn't fit together very well. Fixing it will be the biggest challenge. I wanted to ask for help on other electronics. Any help is appreciated.
