I just bought a Fit Racer at a gas station today to begin my latest project. I did a forum search to see what all of you have tried. Looks to me that they were all balsa planes or moded rubber band planes. I plan to use a peice of thermoformed Lexan for a fuselage and hopefully two 2.2 motors (one on each wing).
I will probably use a peice of foam for the wings. I have already got the wing mocked up and a foam template for the fuselage. The only concern I have is the radio only having two channels. This leaves me with two choices: wire the motor(s) constantly on, or fix the elevator. It may take me some time to get the correct setting, but i think it will be worth it. I will post pics as i progress through the project. I am really looking forward to getting some input on this.
Thanks,
Josh
