I'm making the Red Swan Balsa Kit from RC Bazaar. I'm going to use it as my entry for the sweepstakes 

I had earlier made the J3 Piper Cub from RCB, a similar kit. Althoigh the wood quality & Laser cutting are OK, there is no plan, and ignorable instructions. So it's a lot more fun 

Here goes:

First the mandatory date bit 

Started with the fuse. I used a 2627 motor (also from RCB) I had lying around. Of course, the holes in the firewall did not fit 

The Instruction Sheet: (Admin: this should qualify as scratch built )

OK, go ahead and laugh! It happens to everyone 

thats happens to all..... i dont know how...but once i managed to epoxy an complete build wing to my pants... relized when i was planning to get up from the chair that the wing which was drying on the epoxy was kept on my lap.... 

Nice kit and good build there.  

I am thinking would make a nice model for 1/2 A Glow size.



PS : This is from your competition : "Grrr...... By building a RCB Kit you have taken an edge over us for the PT -20 Ryan. We will surely pitch in with an RCB kit build too to match that Grrr.... "   

Yes, it would, e.g. a .049 Cox, or even a Fox 0.10. Only problem is the fuse is very narrow, about 30 mm at engine mount point, and you would need to put long engine bearers in hardwood (e.g. spruce.....a commercial engine mount would not fit)  Of course the Cox engine would not need this, but a sturdy firewall, and some landing gear jugaad to save the prop.

I don't think either of us have to worry about the PT 20, as Sujju is not a judge, only a donor 

Anwar-bhai...I doubt you can be influenced  , as you have as kind a heart as Idi Amin - almost 

30mm is a sufficient space for a Cox 0.049 as well as for a small fuel tank behind firewall. More so because COX is front firewall mounted unlike on rails. With the wingspan and being a glider would be an ideal model.



PS :  Two youngsters were just challenging their tough competitor sir 

I cannot compete against these imaginative, dynamic and hard-working talented youngsters 

Some more pics:

The fuse complete with servos, tail feathers complete (craziest vertical stab I've ever built!)

(Please do not notice my big tummy in the pic)

Great going sir

With one Salvo you have silenced your competition and made them your ally.    

Lol Sandy boss!

Some more pix: Starting the wing now

Nice and complicated! Lots and lots of parts, and no idea where they all go! Negligible instructions, and no plans 

The pics

Grate build sir. Please take snaps in high resolution for future please. Time won't come back.
And a fantastic build.

Thank you sir.

I had to downsize the pictures! More than 200 Kb is not allowed. They were originally 1.5~1.8 MB

Sanjai sir use irfan view and resize it to 1024x768 pix
Will go under 100 kb
My 10mb pics are converted to 150kb like this.. 

OK Arun, will try. I have to download Irfan first

Looking great!

Progress:

The tail feathers aren't glued. Now I have to cover, and fit the Controls

Sir Your bird is getting into shape....

That it is, thanks Swizera

Nice build...
Hell of a workshop you have!!!
