Title: V911 modified into a sailplane
Post by: pnkyjs on May 09, 2017, 11:10:52 AM
 :)  I had a V911 heli with a damaged gyro, then while trying to fly its servo horn also chipped off. So, i adapted the avionics and all into a sailplane . A bit underpowered but it sails ok.

@pnkyjs,
Sir,
The video, and your date of joining RCI tell us that you are not a beginner.
Time to upgrade your profile!
Well done. That was a good flight.
Regards

@imperial . There the pic is of a plane with wingspan 1000mm, and the posted video is of a plane with wingspan 1500 mm. So I had bigger aspect ratio and hence good flight. But the all up weights are same.
