Walmart Chuck Glider Converted to an RC Plane!

This video shows how I take a summer clearance foam chuck-glider and turn it into a decent RC plane.
I use 3D printing, good-old hot-glue, some RC equipment and a little patience to create a capable slow-flyer.
There are some issues along the way, and there is much room for improvement (so expect more videos on this plane) but I get a flyable plane in the end.
I am currently editing footage of a second version of this plane and then another more powerful version of this plane so please like and subscribe and look forward to those videos.

Very nice i was going to do this instead i had saved my chicken foam packaging and going to make a hollow plane using eachine stuff :)

this model has more wing area, than it Needs. wingspan could be reduced by about ten inches.

information. at :36, the Optimal location of cg and c-m are Determined by the geometry of a main wing.! when the nose was shortened it became More difficult to counter-weight the aft-located mass; aka at the TAIL.! in addition, the wing and stabs are TOO near one anther, for a Powered, controlled model airplane application.
if a Normal airframe is assumed, the optimal location of cg is at Thirty percent of chord/mac; AND c-m should vertically align with Twenty-five percent. in the case of a swept wing, after 30% of mac is located, the c-m Should be a bit forward of it.! that is a small motor, for this model. at :45, ???. this told you YOU need to Find the Optimal location of the cg FIRST.!!! then, make it TURN OUT THAT googletranslate
