Title: Creativity thru conversion
Post by: rcforall on August 07, 2009, 02:31:45 PM
Hi Guys ,
I just received a few Multiplex Chuck Gliders called FOX .

It is basically a very crash resilient Chuck glider for Kids .
Multiplex’s first free flight model, the Fox, is molded of durable EPP foam. With no gluing, sanding or painting the Fox can built in about a minute and can be trimmed out simply by “bending” the control.

• Excellent gliding characteristics
• Ready to fly in one minute
• Orange / white, with black printing

Wingspan   20 in.   
Length   19 in.   
Weight (English)   1.5 oz.

The Price of this Glider is Rs 950/-

There are quite a few conversions on the net of this glider .

If there is one thing that I found is  a major difference between forums abroad and here is the ability to try something new and different .

So I thought why not get you guys thinking .

Are we willing to try some thing new by converting a Chuck glider to powered .

If you successfully do you land up with a cheap small glider you can fly in any small park  around the house and could bash any where  and still continue flying  ;D

Would that not be a great  :D.

Here are a few Images to get you thinking .

I have only 2 foxes as of now.
