Some time ago I was approached by a person interested in the hobby with a lot of desire to have and fly his own plane. Considering that we don't have the possibility to buy a Tx or other parts, I thought that I could build an interchangeable module containing my Rx and a couple of servos and use my own Tx.
Thinking about which model to build for him, that would be easy to fly and entertaining, as well as simple (without motor), I came up with the idea to make a tribute to Carl Goldberg and build this beautiful model. As I can't get balsa, then we'll try it in foam.
The wings were cut from a solid block and have a totoal span of 2m and are divided into 4 sections.
Each section has been reinforced with two 5mm wood strips. Wings and reinforcements are 158g.
The gendle lady has only two channels, rudder and elevator, so my swappable pod will only have two servos and the Rx. We will use 4 AAA batteries connected directly to the Rx, this should help to get a good balance without adding extra nose weight.
