Thanks Mark.
Try to build that the same way you are building the Phlat Bat Mark.
Those who downloaded the PDF should read it from the begining to end.
It was Posted in American Modeler Dec. 1962.

 

My wings are fixed.Like the plans.
Toe liner.You have seen full scale planes pull a sail plane into the air and then it is released by a cable or toe line.
It can be done the same way with a rc plane.
The Dactyl PDF plans are for a glider or with a .010 nitro motor as a free flite.Like the old COX 049 motors years ago.
I have to modify the tail section for it to have an elevator and rudder.
That way I can actually control it in flite.
Im going to put a small brushless motor on it .
Grayson Hobby sells some cheap but good motors and ESC.
I use the Welgard motors on my foamy planes.

 

Added an updated Sketchup file to the Dactyl.Hope it helps someone do a better job than I can at this.
