Because of the size and shape, I decided not to make the horizontal stab from Corro; instead went for balsa.

Used HK Hinge Points (an affordable clone of Robart Hinge Points)

Dear Mr. Sanjay,

Its nicely built. Especially you added balsa to both nose and tail end makes more attractive.

How did you fix the motor mount to wings? Is it hot glue or epoxy? Is there any reinforcement done in motor mounts?

sanjayrai55

Thank you for your kind comments

By mount I presume you men the motor mount plate? This is made from 10 mm ply, and fixed with SR 998 Adhesive and screws. Epoxy does not work too well on many plastics including Corro

If you mean the nacelle (the complete motor housing assembly,) this is fixed on the wing with hot glue and screws

samayaraj

Ya I meant the whole motor housing assembly. Is fevicol synthetic adhesive is that much strong with coro & plywood? I will try it.

The main LG was too close to the prop. So dis some adjustment to the LG - shimmed it with a wood wedge

.....and put some stand-offs on the motors too. Plus, the CG needed this

Sir,
Thought of a humourous suggestion, even took photo.
Refrained from posting in case you might actually be in an upset mood.
Regards as always...
