ABSTRACT:
An electrically powered scale model airplane is disclosed in which a rechargeable electric storage battery is positioned within the aircraft fuselage to balance the weight of a nose mounted direct drive motor. A switch for energizing the motor driving the propeller is arranged to be adjusted from an "off" position to an "on" position by remotely operated control cables acting through a bellcrank assembly used to change the orientation of the aircraft elevator during flight, thus allowing the aircraft to be operated by a single individual. The switch may be manually operated to an "off" position from the outside of the aircraft fuselage in preparation for recharging of the battery. In addition, the entire connecting means between the storage batteries, the recharging battery switch assembly, and the propeller motor are made by only three rigid wires within the aircraft fuselage, two of these wires providing switch contacts for energizing the motor, thus greatly reducing the overall cost of assembling this device.
