@chubbz188 with something called a transmitter and receiver the receiver goes on the plane and the transmitter you hold then connected to the receiver there will be servos to move the elevator rudder and ailerons and for the electric motor this will be connected via something called an esc or electronic speed controller there will a battery connected either via the esc or by a ubec ( universal battery eliminator circuit) hope this helped on how to control an rc plane...
im thinking about building this but ill add some carriers on the sides so you know you can go to the gas station without going and get small stuff like candy or gum
Hey, you coulld raise a bit the skis with some flexible struts, that would minimize the tendency to "jump" while taking off and it will reduce the take-off speed
BTW, Very nice plane! looks great flying and so stable
to make it take off smoother, try making sure the wing has at least a 5 deg positive angle when its on the ground. the way it is now, you have 0 deg so the plane "jumps" into the air even though it can fly slower than your takeoff speed.
For a better SOS "slide off Snow" Make the bottom of fuse so the wings are not level but have a few degrees of up in them as you are taking off. It might give you a shorter take off.
i agree on this one being a keeper. it was fun just watching it take off and land. i think a flying sled with a working elevator would be more fun though- maybe i just don't like to be restricted to the ground
When u rotate and get it "unstuck" from the snow, it just pops right into the air! EDF slow flyer on skis...Only u could come up with that combination 'n make it work. Verrrry Niiiice.
Nice work on the snow bird. what is the weight?.. I didnt think it had enough speed to get off the ground then woopa you pulled it up.. And it seem to float very well. ..
The sleds look great. I may just have to try to make a grass sled one of these days. ( no snow here evern ( 74 F today but windy )
Looks like so much fun

in norway you must flat out a snow runway or else it would sink and not take off

wow..that plane is nearly as efficient as my easystar...NOT!
but i like its scale appearence and flight..
i reckon maybe a 10 inch wingspan extention would help it alot.

For a shorter take off you could build a small snow jump ;-)
