Radio controlled flying thunderbird 2- any ideas
Discussion
To anyone who flies RC.
My lad who is 4 desperatley wants his dad to build him a model from the Gerry Anderson series, and has decided on thunderbird 2.
By my reckoning it's impossible- not enough wing, so I'm going to have a go and a profile 'shockflyer' type of model, not to scale (if such a thing can exist) and try to get the general proportions right.
Does anyone here have any pointers on centre of gravity, ideas, or indeed, has anyone undertaken anything similar?
If it works, I will gladly build one for anyone that has kids and likes the idea.

I was thinking a little more simple.
And definately electric.
Cheers for the input though- I have seen a few comments on that model and by all accounts, it won't fly without a gyro fitted.
Will print off a picture and see what I can come up with
Given enough power:And definately electric.
