Iyer Sir: Maiden still not done. Reason already stated. And yes I'll use 2 more rubber bands(i.e. total 4) while clicking pic I just used 2 for keeping the wing in place.

@gaurav sir: Very sorry for not keeping that in mind. I hope that is not a problem.
Manual is ok. No modification needed. I just felt while using fiber tape on trailing edge for keeping it safe due to stretched rubberband there are chances of trailing edge getting damaged since these bands are new so very tight. I'd used small balsa strips under fiber tape to keep it safe.

Sounds Good.

Look forward to the maiden !

Sushant when are you planning to post the video of maiden. It was awesome. So stable with no trim required. There was absolutely no need to give any input from the transmitter apart from taking turns/climbing etc. Post the video ASAP.

Beauty build....and this interlocking part on fuse are frickeen awesome n sturdy

Hello everyone,
Very sorry for being late. It was raining here and tight college schedule kept me away from flying .
Finally, maiden is done and I'm proud to say that it was successful. I took help from my seniors since, I'm a beginner in flying. This model flew very stable and smooth. Loved to see it in air. I remember it flew for approx. 15 minutes on a 2200mAh battery.
I would like to owe a big thanks to Vortex-RC and team for providing such a wonderful kit. Secondly, I would like to thank my senior for helping me throughout and my room mates who are a part of my team.

Slow internet connection so video will come very soon. Till then, enjoy pics.

Congrats.
Looks perfectly stable in the pics.

I remember my model was chased for around 2 minutes continuously by an Eagle. Was very scary.  Infact, at one moment it was almost a "mid-air collision"

Thank you so much sir . It was very stable. No trim required. I'd seen people struggling for trimming their models mid-air but in my case it was not so.

Hi Sushant,
All pics are truely awesome. Great flying today. I agree with you that mid-air collision could have hurted the eagle as well as your model. It was scary. Hope so we'll go again for flying tomorrow. What you say?

Iyer sir, I'll have to say this model was very stable. I was little nervous during takeoff but it went straight up. This model is for beginners who are new to hobby. At last, wonderful kit and superb model.

Video of the maiden flight. Sorry for the bad quality of video due to poor internet connection.

Congrats to you and Gaurav

Sushant, congratulations on joining the forum and for your build. I wasn't aware of this company Vortex till now. Not at all surprised with the quality of the products  - Anything associated with Mr. Gaurav Agarwal has to be top notch. By the way, as K.K.Iyer Sahab mentioned - please continue posting in the Queen's English.

Well done Sushant...... best wishes...

Gusty sir thank you so much.
