How I Built from Scratch My Micro RC SG-38, and Made It a Powered Glider

How I built from scratch my micro RC SG-38 and made it a powered glider. An all-balsa RC plane that is easy to build and fly. A very good RC trainer plane because of its slow-fly characteristics. The real Schneider DFS 108-14 SG-38 Schulgleiter (German for “school glider“) is a German high-wing, cable-braced, single-seat glider that was designed by Schneider, Rehberg, and Hofmann at Edmund Schneider’s factory at Grunau in 1938. The main material of my Micro RC SG-38 is balsa. In fact, this is my first scratch-build using this material. Most of my micro planes use foam as the main material. By the way, this build was inspired by this thread at RC Groups: SPECS: Wingspan: “ (500 mm.) Length: “ (350 mm.) All-Up-Weight: 2 oz. (58 g.) Controls: Throttle/Rudder/Elevator Power System: • UMX Geared Brushed Motor • 130mm x 70mm Propeller • ESC/Servo Integrated Brick • 300 mAh 1S Lipo Music by Coma-Media from Pixabay
