Don't have money to spend on ARF planes, so I made this one, borrowed Lipo & TX/RX from my friends, and it flies pretty well, except that there is no landing gear and it crashed.

I managed to buy 4 HK15178 Analog Servo 10g / 1.4kg / 0.09s at the price of $1.89 per piece from Hobbyking which took over a month for shipping and an used 1400 kv brushless motor from a friend.

I cut the Thermocol using a hand saw and then sand it to my desired form with a sand paper, thermocol breaks easily, but if you cover them with cello tape, it became enforced and hard to break. Those who are low on budget should try this method.

I think I manage to get the CG right , first time flying on first plane which you build it your self is a lot of fun and add a lot of thrills.


had a problem with the camera so the vid was short.. :)

I am delighted to see the team from Aizawl / Mizoram making rapid strides and gaining good ground in this forum. You guys are an inspiration for the entire North East. Well done!

If I can help you all in any way, don't hesitate to ask...................

P.s. I have used bamboo to reinforce the wings of coro gliders. It works.
