A small radio controlled flying device propelled by a thermal engine ( ) with pusher type airscrew ( ) for remote sensing, the device being capable of short take-off and landing and flying at maximum speed of 35 Km/h. The device includes a pod and wings, the pod ( ) being a rigid tricycle carriage dismountable by disengagement of substantially pyramidal jig with rear base ( ) and front apex ( ), lower plane ( ), two lateral planes ( ) and an upper plane ( ). The base is a welded one-piece element that includes the engine, the airscrew, a tank and the radio control. The apex is a welded one-piece element. The lower plane and the two lateral planes include spars ( ) assembled at the base and as the apex. The lower plane includes at its three end angles two rear wheels ( ) and a front wheel ( ), the front wheel being provided to protrude towards the front in the apex and the wheels being low pressure tires. The wings ( ) are a caisson-type supple parachute and are connected to the pod in an adjustable fashion by two front slings ( ), two braking slings ( ) acting on the two flaps/ailerons.
