ABSTRACT:
A toy aircraft electrically powered through control lines attached to a control handle held by a ground controller is improved by provision of a break resistant connection of electrical transmission wires which also function as elevator control cables to a bellcrank arrangement on the airframe, by use of knife disconnect connectors for mechanically and electrically interconnecting the handle, the control wires and the airframe, by use of fatigue resistant flexible steel cable segment coupling the handle to the control wires, and scrape protecting skid elements on the wing for also holding the lines wrapped on the wing for storage.
