Decided to build this one. I've always admired the 177 more than it's more famous cousin, the Skylane

This is from my favourite designer, Matsumoto. 53"span, 1.5~1.7 Kg, will be using an ASP 25 on it

Plans on Outerzone & Aerofred

Big tangle of wires :D



Decided to put a voltmeter with a momentary switch to check onboard battery

Cut a spar from margin. Very high spar - 32 mm in the centre!



Converted an old hand jigsaw into a machine

Correx is such a great material for building RC planes. Great work Sanjay !

Thanks so much Dominic. Corro is versatile, yes. Just difficult to get curved surfaces accurately

Superficially complete, but... the CG was off.

Very nose heavy!

Rather than add a lot of weight on the tail, first I'm going to move the servos (currently below the wing, near the CG) near the tail

Sir,
Can you please redo the windscreen...
Don't want it to look like the pilot is Cyclops ;D

@sanjayrai55,
What I admire is that if one looks closely at your pics, one can find at least one great idea.
Your field bench itself is wonderful, but the thing to be admired is the peg into the ground at the rear, to prevent the table from toppling at full throttle!
Learnt from experience, I'm sure...
:hatsoff:

Hats off to you Iyer sir! Your eye for detail continues to impress

I made that peg only yesterday! Earlier just hefted a big stone there
