seanmcgrath48 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 (edited) Just wondering does anyone have one of these powered Gliders.... as I've just bought one New 4Ch RTF RC EP Aerobatic TW742 SkyHawk Glider Plane - eBay (item 290326804731 end time Oct-18-10 00:53:48 PDT) If so what Mods have you done to it..... What the best way to set the C o fG on a glider as it's not pre set on this model.... Sean Edited October 18, 2010 by seanmcgrath48 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
