Well, technically I "converted" it from a chuck-glider to RC, but you get the gist. :)
Was chatting with breitzen about it tonight and thought I'd share with the whole class.
Cool!

It doesn't look like there's any sort of propeller; is the modification "just" the addition of (remote) control surfaces? Does that require modifying the stock wings, or are those part of the RC system?

There is no propeller, but yes; I did have to add RC components and modify the wings and tails.
You can read more about that and see pics in my RCGroups thread;

I love me some RC gliders. Give me a RC glider and a windy hill and I'll stay there all day long playi- *ahem* studying aerodynamics.
