Chuck,
If you are referring to the Air Hogs glider, Yes ! It's called bashing.

I've made 2 of them now. A conventional pull and an EDF airliner. Have a 3rd sitting here unopened.

Huge thread over on RCG. Endless possibilities. http://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showt...46101&page=110

Yeah. That's the one. It looks like it has possibilities. Thanks for the reply.

The first one I built literally cost me $9.95 because I had everything needed: rx, rods, servos, horns, Grayson Motor,etc. I call it: "ElCheapo" It actually flies on rails.

The Airliner has been a different story but I haven't given up on it. Just need a paved runway.

They are seasonal at Target and Wal-Mart and when they run out, they're gone till the following Spring.

Good Luck !

Hawk

I bought some for the grand kids. Still have some in the bags and lots of spare parts. Thought it would be a cool project for over the winter. Haven't found it on rc groups yet. I'll try that again later. Everyone probably does their own thing but I'm hopeing there will be somewhat of a common thread as to motor type, battery size, number of channels, side thrust on motor. Do they fly well on rudder only.Do you cut the aileromf
from the wing ORUuse different stock.Thanks Hawk

There is a thread here on converting a chuck glider to RC have to try and find it for you. Many have converted them to twin electrics also. I'll look for the thread after I get out of work.
