Going to put the ESC & Rx in waterproof boxes

Waiting for a Rx so I can maiden it. There were many large (like 1000 sq. metre, up to 0.5 m deep) rain water puddles on our flying field, unfortunately they have dried and there is thick growth of weeds now :(

Thanks Swizera. Yes, they are stickers. The top skin is biofoam, and although I gave a base coat of Enamel (Oil) paint, even then the spray can paint attacked the foam. So, to cover up the khaddas I used stickers :D :D

Priyum

Thanks

PS - Amazing build sir,

Absolutely stunning build Sire. This mouse from Guwahati is ready to dance to the tunes of the Pied Piper. Lead on................................... :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff:

A small request - a picture of the underside showing the stepped hull would be appreciated.

The bottom of the hull of the Pied Piper

The stepped hull is visible. Why would the designer (Alex T) use a stepped hull?

1. Aerodynamically superior
2. Creates lift
3. He had only that width of raw material available  :rofl:

What is your guess?
