Does anyone have the guts from a Eflite UMX they would like to part with? Preferably one without AS3X. I Built and old time Ken Willard design but when I put the UMX rx and servos (slider type servos) in it, after it was built, I found the rx only responds intermittently. I have rebound it and switched servo ports but it still does not work properly, so I need to replace it all. The UMX setup should be perfect for it because it is so light.
Hey Rob,
Now... this is a little funny. You can have the Aero Commander Rx and Servos. It is AS3X however. I can't recall if all 4 servos are still ok. I put everything into a mini WarWing which Frank could not get to fly ;)
qualifier on David's note:
"...into a mini WarWing which Frank could not get to fly ;)"....... more than 50'*.
I am still hopeless at some of life's challenges. 8)

Hi Rob:
Just out of curiosity what is the Ken Willard design? Did you keep the same wingspan?
Regards,
Richard B.

Hi Richard. It was the old Schoolboy plane. Had one when I was about 15. Had a Pee Wee 020 on it. I launched it free flight in a field in the Shepard Bathurst area. I caught a thermal and ended up at Don Mills and York Mills Road. I have the plans if you want to build one.

Thanks Dave. I will take them. Unfortunatly we have had to cancel our trip so I will not be able to bring your planes back as we had discussed.
The Schoolboy is 36 inches wingspan. The original was kitted by Carl Goldberg I think, but of course has not be available for many years.

Absolutely right... it was 10', then 20', then 50'... and an awfully good try at that !
