| OK. It's a single-engine light aircraft, based on a cessna probably. It was designed and build from the ground up to be an RC craft; the enine cowling is detachable and has room for an engine (I'll have to measure it, but as I said its ~5x5") and the ailerons are properly set up so lifting one side moves a rod that would be attached to a servo and lowers the other side. The rudder is linked to the rear wheel, and to a rod or something in the cockpit to attach a servo to.
Basically, it's all set up for us and we just have to put in the relevant gear and maybe a few small pieces of wood to act as braces or rest gear on.
It's made of balsa covered in tissue, by the way. Very solidly built, but still very light.
Also, to clarify: None of the people who want to work on it (Including me) have any experience with RC, so don't hesitate to say those simple things that might offend a veteran model-builder. |
