Awesome build man. Looks great!!!

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

Pretty responsive, but fun to fly off the cliffs at Hallett Cove South Australia.

@@modelmakingmaniacs8600 niiiiice!!! Like those updraft gliders right?

[@truth409]

Spars Go into compression.....spars belong in the top of the wing Then you have room for the servers on the bottom And a spar...can go all the way almost to the tips.... My jeep is really stiff Has strapping tape and spas Floats like a feather.... Doesn't like humidity because it doesn't have any camber in the flaps

[@manichahal]

That's an absolute ripper build mate. Learnt a lot from this video so thank you and keep flying.

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

Thanks mate. Zippy little glider. Great fun to fly.

A few years back I made a very similar thing using the old multiplex fox chuck glider which was quite a bit smaller. It turned out to be a really fun easy build and easy thing to fly. I always wondered if anyone would ever release a cheap and cheerful EPP chuck glider that was a bit more generous in size.. So I guess here it is... Now what I'm wondering is if anyone will release one with a 2m wing span for $100 or less... Wouldn't that be awsome!!!

I modified an Albatross FX707S 1.2 metre chuck glider that slope soars really well. kzbin.info/www/bejne/rqbUgJx8mMqSo9k there are a few build videos you might like to look at on this channel as well?

[@snoopysnoopyxupery5231]

Nice vidéo. What is the weight of the battery, mAmp, and C?

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

70gm, 1300 mAH, and 20C or 30C. These are 2S 7.4V Li-PO batteries.

1.50 To increase the length of the pushrods just turn the servos over so the output shaft is further from the aileron. 😜

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

Great idea. I'll make sure I look at that on my next build.

[@bezimienny_fpv]

just got red cheetah glider and also want to make this RC (and even FPV because i have TX06 FPV system)

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

good fun to fly in an up draught off a small cliff or sand dune.

[@bezimienny_fpv]

@@modelmakingmaniacs8600 i don't have any hills in area but i already mount small brushless motor on nose of the plane and i cruise around above fields, very good cheap aricraft indeed

[@gardentools2553]

I used to fiberglass spar and did they almost the entire top surface of wing the then I added fiber tape top and bottom so the top surface goes into compression and the bottom surface goes into tension .. On my cheetah..

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

I tried to keep my build as simple as possible but there would be lots of ways of improving the flight characteristics of this model. Thanks for the feedback.

[@grahambate3384]

Cover with brown paper and mix 50 50 PVA and water. Be hard than U as a teenager

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

Thanks for sharing your ideas. These models are so cheap and inexpensive that i could try your idea on my next one.

[@barenekid9695]

No mention of Motor.. Flight battery... or even propellor used

[@modelmakingmaniacs8600]

Converting a foam chuck glider into an RC plane. 3g servos, BR2211 , 1700kv Racestar motor, 2S LiPo battery. 7 x 4.5 prop.
