what makes the the rudder and the elavators move

[eszyman]

Control surfaces are directed via a Spektrum DX7 radio, they are actually moved by HXT500 (5 gram)and HXT900 (9 gram) proportional servos.

Thanks!

Now that's what I call building light! Nicely done - a blend of traditional built-up construction techniques and modern materials, at an affordable cost, with wing loading that anyone can handle. Did you make your own hot wire cutter?

[eszyman]

Yes, at that time I was using E guitar string, but am currently using 0.10 dia stainless fishing leader wire. Works very well and is very cheap.

what do you heat the wire with? do u hook it up to a power supply or do u use gas or something

[eszyman]

Thanks guys, it's painted with acrylic paints and an airbrush. Thin them down with a little water, cut the templates in cardboard, and spray away. Once dry they do not come off easily when wet either. Once you get the colors right dirty it up with some black and brown paint, with some playing around you can make a very impressive paint job -and the paint is cheap!

Love your scratchbuilt...low wingloading allows for such slow flight. How did you paint foam?
