"I made several changes to your free flight design, as I hope to adapt it to the ParkZone 3 channel RC gear. I added 4 inches to the wingspan (2" each side), and enlarged the tail surfaces a bit. To make things easy, I used a normal elevator and rudder. Was my first ever time with tissue and the glue stick, so results a bit ragged... RC gear added today, will have plenty of power. I'll add the rigging, and reinforce the fuselage joints." - Gordon 'Tim' McKay
"I modified it a bit to resemble the cross channel version." - Andy Suhrer
