I definitely would NOT try r/c conversion.
It's enough to get one to fly in a stable rocket/chute configuration.

I wouldn't try adding R/C capability either, myself (and I also agree with Mark's "minimum-weight maxim" for PMC models). I just mentioned it as a possibility for novel flight capabilities with larger-scale (and higher-powered) PMC scale modeling subject kits. (At the time, I was thinking about Clem Sohn [1910 - 1937, see: https://www.google.com/search?sxsrf...i10.imPDhg53VqM ], a "bat-man of the original barnstorming days" who jumped out of airplanes and then flew for seconds to minutes using his 'wingsuit,' before opening a conventional [round] parachute to land safely [a parachute failure in 1937 ended Sohn's career and life].) |
