Free Flight Radio Assist

I thought it would be fun to try some small engine powered free flight but the field where I fly R/C is not appropriate for retrieval so I made this “box” for R/C assist to get it back….It is fully self contained in that it has two servos, receiver, and a single 150 mAh cell…It weighs 12.7 grams ready to operate…..Only one opening is required thru 1/4”profile fuse types to be mounted in the plane …..Here it is mounted in the fuse blank of a Ken Willard design- Wild Hair Joe… It will be for the first test of it….Since it’s modular in design it should be easy to switch back and forth to different sport free flight types…





In order to keep it as compact as possible I cut the connectors off the servos and soldered the leads directly to the receiver board…Turning it on is simply connecting the cell….More to come as the project moves along
