Project Park Patroll

[yeeehaw]

This is my project. I am taking a GWS slow stick and making it into a fast, agile, Aerobatic, and a HECK more fun.
I have been supported by Dave and 2ng and hopefully all of you that are reeding this thread.
I will try to go through this project step by step. I will include pictures as soon as I get them developed.
Alot of the techneques I will use you can find on the "Scratcing up Mr. Bones" thread.

P.S. the project will start tomorrow full blown(Saturday)

I don't have a pictur developed of it yet.
but it is pretty easy to do.
1. take your existing tailgear and bend it straight.
2. drill a 1.6mm hole in the fuselage just behind the tail gear mount.
3. take an extra wheel collar and slide ti over the landing gear wire, slide the assembly up through the bottom of the fuselage.
4 super glue the wheel collar to the wire (be sure the glue does not get on the fuselage. make sure there is about a quarter of an inch of wire poking through the fuselage. repeat the wheel collar part above the fuselage. bend the wire to fit your needs ( landing wise.
5. superglue an extra controll horn on the 1/4 inch poking up( make sure it is pointing to the elevator side.
6. use a double sided controll horn on the servo and run a piece of thin piano wire or pushrod from the servo to the wheel making sure the wheel is lined up befor you hook it up.

now you can taxi through your house or the field and adds on basically no weight. and is about a 0.00-0.50 cent project and it works!!!

I will post the wing and other mods in the future.

Also I might add you might want to bend a new landing gear (f) bracket and make the axel longer and add wheel collars and Diamond lite wheels. adds on 1-2 grams and is stronger.
I am ordering the radio wednesday Febuary5 if the check clears the credit card. (Hitec laser 4 channel radio w/2 HS-55 servos and a feather reciever) Total price: 11.80 dollars

So, did Red Bull give you those wings? ;)

You have way to large of a collection Genovia, I think you need to kick down a plane or two. I would give them a good home. :)
