  • No, there's no changing of cg involved! A servo (outside the figure, it's attached to the horizontal bar she is holding) is pulling cables. One cable is pulling one side of the 'wing' down, the other cable is letting go of the other side. This way you deform the whole wing and you have roll-control. There is no yaw-control, no rudder of any kind.

    If you wish I can email you some detail photos or movies. I will send you a message with email adress.

  • The triangle at the back can be moved up and down and acts as an elevator. It has limited authority, but it's enough to fly around a bit. A servo under the belly of the figure pulls cables which pull down the wooden sticks half way the wing. By pulling down one side and letting go on the onther side you get a sort of 'wing warping'. It needs some careful adjusting (length of cables), but the result is the movie above.

  • My mate built one from scale Moyes plans and he had the figure mounted correctly with CG off the hang loop. The RC gear was in the harness and e and the servos attached to a G.I. Joe figures hands mounted on the base bar. He is pretty cool but a lot of work!!
