Monster Free flight to 2M Sailplane conversion.
Hi all. I saw the Lanier foam U2 Free Flight Glider on sale for under $20.00 so I just couldn�t pass it up. I figure with a reinforced wing, toe hook, and receiver (ruder/elevator) I could hi-start this monster and have a very light fun flyer just under 2M. I have seen some info on making an electric out of it, but haven�t seen anything on making a straight sailplane. Anyone tried this? If so could you lend some insight? Take a look at the link. www.lanierrc.com/lrcprivate/LRChtmp...lightglider.htm This is a made by Lanier R/C and is a 74� Free Flight Glider. It is made of foam but that is the point. I had done searches and found all the info on the Lanier and U2 and Glider that I can. All that I have found is information about successfully converting them to electric, like this. http://www.northlandflyer.com/The_H..._lanieru-2.html With comments like this: "On several flights I almost lost my U-2 to thermals, I couldn't get the plane out of it. Several times I've spent 5 minutes at low altitude circling the field in light lift only landing when I was ready" Now I want to find someone who has converted then to Sailplanes. The electric guys seem to have great success with them. Anyway I would appreciate anyone who has made a conversion to a sailplane to drop a line. Thanks. -- jrgospod ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Posted from the RCGroups.com Discussion Forums.
