By the way, how did you cut out the space for the new servos in the wing/tail? I'm really afraid to damage the plane. Did you use a sharp knife, or is there some kind of trick?
@@soosmate very easy: design the contour of the servo with marker, put a piece of tape on the upper side of the wing (you're not gonna gut there, but it keeps the foam together if you ever go too far). Cut the contour of you servo with a cutter, after that take away the foam with a dremel... do it slowly, test different speeds and heads from the dremel...
Nice mods ! I managed to program the break on original ESC, it took time to determine it's model comparing pictures on the internet, but it is quite common. used arduino board for programing.
Hello Yannick, I also own the U-Glider. Like everyone else, I had the same problem with the controller. I wrote to banggood and complained that the controller did not allow the engine to stop programmed. I got a cashback but am still looking for a small regulator. Where did you buy yours I think the replacement of the spinner and propeller is good, and I will do it too. best wishes Michael
Hi Michael, I tried to conctact Hookll, the producer from the Glider to have info about this ESC... a Chinese colleague did it for me in Chinese and they never replied... I did not contact banggood about this problem... but yes, normally banggood is very responsive to problems... and the try to solve the issue... This is the ESC I use... very lighweight and all the wiring is already included: www.banggood.com/ZTW-Mantis-Slim-15A-SBEC-Brushless-ESC-Speed-Controller-For-RC-Models-p-1247457.html If you want the programming card, this is the correct one: (don't by the card for mantis, this card is for mantis-slim) you can do all the programming without the card... but it's very handy and fast. www.banggood.com/Surpass-Hobby-Program-Card-for-RC-Airplane-Boat-ZTW-Shark-Beetle-Brushless-ESC-p-1558326.html
Thanks! Did you reinforce the wing mounting? For me it came out on the first rougher landing, the wing essentially detaching, I now reinforced it with gorilla glue. Also, What did you replace the motor with? You link to the original motor but you mention you replaced it? Or did you only get a better spinner and props? Thanks in advance!
Hi Mate, I did not do any modification on the wing mounting... so far no problems... I kept the original motor... but I replaced the ESC as I could not program the brake on the original one and the motor kept spinning and creating lots of drag... I also replaced the spinner and the props.

Thanks, that was very helpful!
