+++ title = "Transportable C1 Chaser" weight = 11 sort_by = "weight" insert_anchor_links = "right" +++ I have a [C1 Chaser](https://www.banggood.com/C1-Chaser-1200mm-Wingspan-EPO-Flying-Wing-FPV-Racer-Aircraft-RC-Airplane-KIT-p-1102080.html?custlinkid=667416&p=6W16207412782201611V), and it's a fantastic wing. It flies great, and is very efficient. The only problem I had with it was that it's too long to easily carry around, as it has a 1.2m wingspan. I thought that a C1 Chaser that can break apart for easy transport would be the ideal long-range wing, so I bought a second one and made some modifications to it. I'm listing the modifications here so you can do the same if you want to. ## Spar The biggest issue is making the spar removable. The best way I've found to do that is to use IKEA drinking straws, they have an internal diameter of around 7.5mm, making them ideal for putting the spar through. I've cut three straws to length and glued them in the spar channel, as you can see here: [![](../../resources/5ac6bff04962497083b8403ed0fded98.jpg)](../../resources/5ac6bff04962497083b8403ed0fded98.jpg) [![](../../resources/65ff483180ad483795b32d0b65f72613.jpg)](../../resources/65ff483180ad483795b32d0b65f72613.jpg) For glue, I use [E6000](https://www.banggood.com/ZHANLIDA-152550ml-E6000-B6000-Adhesive-Transparent-Glue-for-RC-Models-p-1604315.html?cur_warehouse=CN&ID=62834216283418&rmmds=search&custlinkid=667416&p=6W16207412782201611V) (sold as Goop in the US) for pretty much everything, but for this one you can use your favorite glue that you know won't dissolve EPO. ## Wings TODO: I haven't really gotten there yet. ## Vertical stabilizers The last part is securing the vertical stabilizers. I did this with two very small 3D printed pieces, I slot the stabilizers horizontally (on the left/right axis) onto the fuselage and then connect the wings, which keeps the stabilizers securely in place. TODO: I'll add more photos here when this is glued and finalized. * * *
