Not a perfect build, I know. But still It's my Piper J3Cub,  ;Dmade out of Depron.Her first flight was today evening. Perfect on that. It's a free time build in a day. :)

Sukhpreet

Simple build :) "Its easy to understand the constructions" of this model ( for a newbie :) ) Atleast i got a few ideas/reference after watching the pics .......
Moreover 3 channel planes are easier to fly as compared to 4 channel.......:)

And Sukhpreet, out of my "wild" imagination, one more "new" baby born y'day night :giggle: , that can fly slow and veeeryy fast ;D . It is indeed a scratch  ;D build, out of the remnants of previous builds. Colour schemes and shaping yet to complete. :)

@Prabal, here it is  :)

""It is indeed a scratch  ;Grin; build, out of the remnants of previous builds""

Slowly, original idea from Germany, followed by Roman in this group, inspired from his build, I made mine.

SI74

Yes, Sukhpreet, I don't waste any! Especially Depron which is hard to get in my place. And since my beginning , I have broken only 2-3 props. :) Rest all things are still with me!

a3ruz

Sunil sir from where did you get depron ? Is there any store in MVPA selling depron ?

Just 2- 3 props...... :bow: :bow:
And for my (Single built) F450 Quad i have broken around 3 or 4 :P
I really need to learn a lot ......... ;D That's for sure...

Currently i have started working on Flying Wing Sir :) The progress is slow.....It will take some time.. Because i am not able to spare money/time off from my salary :P due to unexpected, unseen expenses  :giggle: (And i am also aware of the fact that i should have worked on a trainer first....But Flying wing has got/Caught  me )

Yes , Sukhpreet, if you had trained yourself on a trainer, flying wing becomes too simple for you. @ a3ruz, I think Praveen (from TVM) posted address of a shop there, who sells it.

a3ruz

Any extra depron  for sale ?

@a3ruz, no need of depron if you are a beginner. You may very well try Thermocol , which is very freely available ( I have posted instructions) or coro which again is superb when you think of painting your models( easier than depron/ Thermocol) , if so follow Sanjai sir's builds ( The most beautiful ones you'll ever find!). You may also try coro/ Thermocol combo.
Praveen was suggesting sign boards , which are also light weight ; instead of depron.

a3ruz

You are from Muvattupuza right ! I wish could see your models ? Any way for that ?
More than that i think i can learn a lot form you

By the way how to paint a plane.... Can we paint over tapes.....? I have no idea whether if this is possible or not.....!

And two motors of mine are  stuttering....?  Any reasons for it...?  Any solutions for it.....?

Yes, can paint over Sellotape, that is exactly what I did on that plane; spray painted on Sellotape after it was applied on depron.

Sukhpreet

Any particular kinds of paints that we can use on these sello tapes :)

Aerosol....Acrylic  or any ?

prabal276

use car spray paint available in local market.
One can costs approx. rs 250

SI74

I used aerosol 100Rs per bottle, available on Amazon

Well... you may try using the Fevicryl colours directly on the thermocol and then cover the wing with transparent tape.  One bottle of Fevicryl colours cost Rs 18 and for a medium sized aircraft 3 - 4 bottles are required.  The paint is water soluable but when dry it is not washable with water as it is an acrylic paint.  After covering it with Tape is looks as goos as any costly paint job done on the model.

Well I been using this for long and you too may try.

You may look at my thread on Kaiser Mk 1 in the 2015 sweepstakes for more information.

Happy and safe flying.....
Well I been into aeromodelling since I was in School....  and then been in the air for over 30 years.  Now looking to be back into aeromodelling full time...

prabal276

@ s174 i use the same type of paint.
It is automotive spray paint.

SI74

Hi , Shobhit17, could you please post a link to your model?
@Prabal276, yes, actually I bought another colour for my car and found it to be good , and so bought some colours for my planes.

a3ruz

But spray  paints usually eat depron / thermocol ,

Sukhpreet

Thank you everyone  for your valuable suggestions .......... :D

@A3ruz first apply  layer of sellotape and then spray paint on it

Or apply acrylic color and then give a coating of sellotape ......

Thats what they are saying  :)
