My first Remote Control aircraft

During this long independence day week-end, I built my first RC aircraft.

I bought a strip of yellow, blue and black self-adhesive to make it look like N236SP. Here are a few pictures:

The remote control receptor

The servos to move the rudder and elevator

The receptor and servos in place, connected to the rods

The rods connected to the elevator (but not to the rudder yet)

The fuselage (without wing and rudder) ready for the "paint job and signage"

Ready with the tail and wings (but no wings struts)

Ready to fly (and crash...) - with wing struts

With his little brother, the matchbox model
