Below is the link to part 1 of this thread a nd a few pictures of some STARWARS RC ships built or in the works by fel low E-Zoners and others.

I have some plans that I made from parts as I constructed the ship. They are rough as some parts had small changes during assembly. I was wondering if anyone out there that is fa milliar in drawing with a CAD program would be interested in redrawing t he plans.

One thing I noticed crop up a lot was "give anything enough power and it will fly". What about making a flying death star, that would look cool.. Go-RC, I have a 3D modelling program so I could be persuaded to draw up t he plans and at the same time it would make a 3D model that I'm sure wou ld help if someone was building their own. However, I'm kinda in the mid dle of GCSEs at the moment so I wouldn't be able to devote night and day to it...

Burnt_sandwich - a death star would be cool with a rotor so it could slow ly hover into range of the rebel base. I will also PM you about the plan s Hobbitcy - I totally agree that ship padme flew was too sweet. I'm hoping this will help with the roll and yaw i ssues. Goanna add them t o my 12" glider and see how they effect the CG. Once this test is comple te its time to head out to the field and give her another go. I'm hoping these changes will get her more under control. One thing I can say though is after about 7 flights she is stil l in one piece.
