Hi Saheevan,

Good luck on your new SPAD. Hope every thing goes well.. Do post some pictures and videos of the maiden flight.

Right now, the baton is with Sai and other scratch builders to keep SPADs alive in India.

hi everyone ,
i am sorry cannot get it to madien tommorow as my chargers and batteries havent arrived , also i need to do a lot of work , that i was supposed to do today but couldnt because as tomorow is mothers day , i went roaming aroung surching 4 gifts !!

sahevan,
any update, Please put your build log allong with pictures.

hi ,
the project is again delayed by a month due to lack of availibilt of help + parts ......
today again i spent over 3hrs in a crowded area searching for piano wire but
i returned back hom empty handed!!  

just use cycle spokes or umbrella rods or if you  need piano wire ask sai uncle

Nooooooo Dont use cycle spokes! THey are heavy! My F-22 raptor had got a very bad crash due to the spokes only! I have built it completely outta spokes as skeleton for themacol!

i said spokes for push rods and you do get different size of cycle spokes too. but i have got a wire i don't know what it is but is so far the best item for push rods and also for building frame

hey ,
I bought some high grade piano wire yesterday , but the main thing that i was looking for was missing i.e. high grade alluminium for landing gear + my Tx package arrived with rx battery charger + servo arms missing !! so now all that has to arrive!


happy flying ,
sahevaan

here are a few pics!

more pics

more.........

That looks cool !

BTW, are you going to put landing gears, or do you fly in a nice grassy area ?

Thanks for those encouraging words Anwar.

I am planing to make it ROG (with landing gears )
but as yet i havent been able to find high gage alluminium!

happy flying ,
sahevaan (people i am young and this is the first nitro scratch build i am making so pls give advice + comments)

The SPAD is complete having the madain tommorow ... will put the video's...

congrat to u

it is a cool flying machine u made
i loved the frame. which mm of alluminium L channel u used?

for landing gear use fancing wire which is use to tie the fance.

and call sai uncle for wheels.
