This shows how I built my scratch built rc Ultra Lite Slow Flyer airplane. It has a 47" wingspan and is made from wood and 3/4" pink foam insulation sheet. I contoured the wings with a hot wire cutter that I made out of a guitar string and car battery charger. I used the gearbox from an older plane, got a 3 channel radio on ebay for $10 and cheap mini servos from hong kong for $1.00 a piece and they work great! The plane flies beautifully.
Look for part 2 for flying and onboard footage of this plane. ALL music is from www.freeplaymusic.com.

3 channel transmitter & receiver , 2 9g mini servos form ebay, and I replaced the motor with a brushless outrunner 1000kv motor(came w/prop mount) and 30 amp ESC, 2200 mah LiPo 15c battery - all from ebay . Recommend buying servo control rods at a hobbyshop instead of pin gun wire. Control horns from hobby shop for some Hobbyzone airplane. Also 10x7 eflite prop. Hope that helps.
Hey thanks, I might try that. After a few perfect flights, the motor system seemed to not be as strong anymore and I was having trouble gaining altitude, So I got a brushless outrunner, haven't tried it yet, but will keep that in mind if needed.
brushless motors and li-po batteries are the way to go. i've almost stoped flying my gas airplanes because the battery powered planes are so easy to fly almost no trouble.
