mission time.. just before official maiden.. at beginning, my test runs showed some troubles.. at high throttle levels, she nose pitched too much, almost made controls impossible.. and also was swaying left to right.. so, back again on work table.. some passivr additions.. and later i added an active stabilization system based on servo.. i simply call it as KASSS.. will explain later.. then she came so stable and controllable.. even at very high throttles.. the shape of this craft is awesome.. we can simply imagine the fear this one inspired on it's era..

all Friends.. this model is a great dream of every ship modeller.. because this one is rare and well established.. a simple half size kit of this machine costs more than 10,000 Rs/-.. so, i am so proud of myself, as i completed this craft for about Rs/-400.. from work table to lake.. and the total construction time was only three days with lazy.. the expense except the 400 Rs/-, was the expense of coffe and some cutlets.. here i am showing you all we can make any craft with handy things.. ok.. will she run nicely..? its almost hard to control her with one hand, as TX, and camera at one hand.. easy loss of orientation while looking through LCD screen.. still i managed to shot some good videos..
