I’m excited about this aluminumRC aircraft and I’d like to share it so, eventually, I will share the plans and for those that don’t have time to build one, I am looking at manufacturing the complete radio controlled aircraft. First, I will need to build some templates and jigs. I will draw up the plans after I have built the jigs so that everything is compatible. Manufactured parts will fit home builts and so on. Along with the complete aircraft (less the battery), I will offer all of the replacement parts. Regarding parts another wonderful feature of the Rhino is that all parts can be swapped out. For example, if you have a particularly hard hit and bend the main fuselage spars, as I have done, it is simply a case of drilling out the rivets and fitting the new spars. But before I start offering the aircraft publicly, there is one more exciting idea that needs to be tested, an idea conceived over a beer with a mate of mine, Glen... A Twin Rhino, my next project is to build two Rhinos and ‘mate’ them. In addition to the two Rhinos I will build a centre wing section that incorporates flaps and an aluminium aero-foiled cross piece to support the tail. This will be quite a beast…

Twin Rhino ... The Beast

Next project - to 'mate' 2 Rhinos to create the Twin. Can't wait to fly this beast. :)

The Rhino Biplane

Working on a simple method to add a second set of wings... the bottom ailerons would become flaps.
