Has anyone ever tried to turn one of the hand thrown foam gliders from the hobby shop into a working electric rc?

I modified a Multiplex Fox into a 3ch glider
I also have a Graupner Mini Discus but it is not yet modified for RC

I also converted a multiplex fox to a 3ch glider. flies very nice. It is a bit heavier then ideal, so it glides a bit less. Only got this picture: IMG_0397.JPG

Sure! I turned an old foam glider that I had tucked away for years into a 3 channel plane. Easy as can be and cheap, too!

yeah - my MPX fox had 3ch but no motor

Ailerons, elevator and rudder :D

I will most likely make a new improvements to a spare lying around.
