Thanks, FT. Yes, she's radio controlled. I'm anxious for a test flight, just waiting for the weather to improve, We have a foot of snow, and really cold temps
Finished this project yesterday. It's a 60 inch radio controlled version of the Waco CG-4A troop-carrying glider of WW2. I scaled up the plan from a 1953 book. On the real glider, the cockpit section was hinged to swing upwards for cargo loading. The model has the same feature for battery access.

She hasn't been flown yet, waiting on decent weather!
