Haven't built an IC Engined profile model in a long time. Skybees were about 50 years ago 

I found this on Outer Zone, and decided to try to adapt it in Corro

https://outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=6497

Combination of 2.5 mm corro, 8 mm sq. Pine and 8 mm balsa & Ply

Unfinished surfaces got some enamel paint for fuel proofing

Had an ASP 35 available so used it

6 oz tank held in place by Zip Ties over a thick foam bed

Span: 48"
Wing Area: 540 sq. in.
Flying weight: ~ 1.5 Kg

Beautiful ! Nice choice of colors.

Thanks Shirsa. I guess the logical first step is to get an engine and it's associated paraphernalia and get familiar with it. Then select a model suited to it

Thanks Sir. Which engine do you think best for beginners?

Nothing really like a beginner in this. See what's available, and in your budget. Also, it would depend on the kind of field you have

In Glow OS are the most popular, in Gasoline DLE

The "40 size" Glow engine probably has the widest range of available models/ model plans

Ok Sir. Thank you for your advise.

@sanjayrai55,

Lovely as usual, sir!

Read the magazine article. Should be an excellent flyer.
Will the sharp leading edge make a difference?

Regards

Thanks Iyer sir

All my corro models do have a sharp LE. They seem to fly OK.

Sirji,


If you can create a round LE with coro, after bending the wings. Take a sheet of coro having flutes spanwise. keep 3" top & bottom.
Use this sheet to wrap around the LE, you will get a round LE.

I have tried this technique on my big models. Works good

There are many ways, and I have successfully tried some. Suffice to say I did not find it essential to performance
