My friend gave me this cheap chinese plane sometime back. Due to the non proportional controls and the weak brushed set up with heavy Nicad batteries, he could never fly this successfully. So he gave me this partly damaged.
The other day, i tried converting it in to a regular Model and in the prcess realised that it is quite tough and time consuming since lot of thinking required to place all the components properly and also accessible. Also not to disturb the CG.

completed the works. now waiting for the maiden.

thanks ashta
