I'd be really impressed if the damn thing looked like a plane and not a mutant moth flying to the light.

that thing is awesome. ive been visualizing how to turn a balsa glider into a plane for a week or so. that gave me motivation. once its nice enough to fly at the park ill be allover that.

seems like it would hard to handle without proportional steering.

That's what I was thinking.. Even if you couldn't pulse it, i think that you could pulse it manually with your finger.
