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.
