This is not the first r/c conversion but may be the first Swappable Air Hogs r/c conv.. You can build this in one afternoon easily and is a blast to fly. And uses a power pod from one of the FT Swapables. The Air Hogs titan glider is a well built $10 chuck glider sold a Walmart and Target. Just as a glider alone it will fly a good 75yds. The foam is fairly durable and takes low temp hot glue without a problem.
In flight: On a tiny 1300kv 24g motor the titan cruises around at half throttle effortlessly and at wot will climb and flip with a little work. The stall speed is low so great for small parks.
Build: As you can see I cut out, sanded and notched out the whole bottom front of the plane to fit the power pod. Added BBQ skews in the front and rear to lock it all in. Two 9gr servos for elev and rudder. I used scrap foam board for the control surfaces. And I put clear shipping tape on the leading and trailing edges to stiffen everything up. I opted not to glue the main wings as the will snap if it takes a good dirt nap. C/G is about 1/3 from the front of the wing cord. I had to use two pennies in the tail to get a good balance.
Specs: Hextronic 24g 1300kv motor
18amp plush speed control
500mah zippy lipo =10min flight
8x6 SF apc prop
2x Hextronic 9r servos
Thanks for reading, If you build this you wont regret it, its a blast and easy to fly, ask my 8yr old son.
Any questions or if I missed something don't hesitate to ask.
Cheers.
