All respected Modellers.. by bygone time, i was observing lots of things about RC flying and RC aircrafts..and was working painstakingly to develop a simple but effective aircraft for a beginner.. so tried a lots with self research.. my ultimate aim was to develop a good stable platform, with sufficient power, ample of flying time, and easy to fly..  so, after some painstaking effort i just developed this one at first, and i named her as the "VEERAANGANA-1"..!!  yes the name veeraangana stands for the warrior princes.. here in my native Kerala, we were forced to join in "KALARI", is martial art school of Kerala, and the main female teacher was named as veeraangana as she is too excellent in martial arts.. i choose this name because of the agile nature of this proven platform.. when i was decided to develop this platform, my main intention was to help the beginners.. especially my aero modelling students.. and Colleagues.. so i added all features that can adopt on a model..

      From my experience and studies i learned lots of good aspects of aero modelling.. and my self research proved that we do not need many fundas and theories, along with formulas to design an RC aircraft.. so, instead of looking in to theories and formulas, i just turned to practical side as trial and error..so, worked a lots.. for a long time.. and at last i made it.. not for me.. but for all interested ones.. easy to make.. easy to handle.. light.. stable.. aerobatic capable.. ample of flight time.. and my test flights took on toughest grounds.. the seashore.. and she behaved so nicely.. so stable..  i took various aspects from various self made aircrafts.. and joined in one.. result..? an ultimate capable aircraft.. the veeraangana 1 is the design name i gave.. means i am still developing the second third and fourth aircraft in same segment, with home made Active Flight stabilization system, by using handy components and ideas.. the test flights are over and still waiting to make the second one.. so, the veeraangana 2 will be with AFS.. and three with both but in to pusher config.. the next one will be more capable aircraft  with big size.. so, at present i started with this one.. and within a week i made four similar aircrafts for my Friends and all behaved well.. repeatedly..  i choose the name SUSAN for my plane, as part of the dedication to my ever respected Teacher.. and i finished her in stunning flamboyant red with yellow..

        the craft is equipped with a 50 inch wingspan..  all, we know for a high wing trainer we do not need ailerons, especially for beginners.. but what i found with my self research is, its a must.. then i added the ailerons with individual controls.. this made this craft even more versatile while in flight.. sharp stiff turns, loops, and lots.. at ease.. we always teach our students to take our aircrafts high as possible.. but i never tell my students to take their aircraft to a high level but just above the head.. she is that much capable.. here i used no any extra ordinary material or scientific stuffs to build this aircraft..she is entirely made of 2mm corrugated plastic sheet..

      I choose the motor prop configuration after lots of trial and error try.. then i came up with this set up.. so powerful but lots of flight time..  total weight of the craft without batteries is about 800 grams.. and i added about 80 grams of ballast for a greater stabilty..

       smooth take offs.. smooth landings..anf stable flight was my dream.. and realized..

Sir,

U are a genius....
Frm boats to aircrafts, patents and all, don't have words for u except for this :

       All we looks for a good stable craft for a reasonable price..but it is hard to find a good aircraft that behaves in a forgiving manner, while flies stable, with a decent flight time.. and imagine that we have a craft, that can be repaired so easily, and can replace parts so easily after a fatal crash.. from wing to fuselage, will be nice..? is int it..? sure.. so i made the wing fixation in such a way with a simple dog.. for additional safety we can also add two tiny bolts over the wing structure..  this avoids cumbersome wing attachments, usually found in simple planes..
   Here is the cool flying..

 

Karun..making the crafts is the realization of life..its all simple and inspiring..   thank you..
here is the second actions of tight turns and looping.. look how stable and stunning she is.. with awroooom she can fly at peace or can scream..

Book 1 for me !!!

usually i never take any care about the crafts after making it.. it will lay some where around me.. but after finishing this one, i realized the potential of this craft.. so, i decided to make it available to all interested.. but as i am not a busines personal,  i am unable to do some thing.. so i was looking for a person, who can make some arrangements to make this craft available..and why i hide this good machine within the walls of my little home..?  so, this one will be great helpful to all intersted.. and i clarly know the potential of this machine.. because i always gets lots of personal massages and personal requests from all of my friends from all over.. but usually answering them all is is not possible.. and i know that if i post a full build log here only a few can make it and fly, because of many factors.. include the lack of materials.. and my effort was to find an appropriate one to promote this craft..

+1

Appreciated !!!

           Net..sure.. and not only for you but for anyone who is intersted in this simple but stunning machine.. because i am making an arrangement for that..
          With my bad health i know that i cant do much in this hobby.. but still this way of thinking hurts me a lots.. because i have the idea.. but no place to share.. then a lightning striked in my brain.. the place is RCI.. so, i immediately contacted my Friend, Mr Sai krishna of RC BHARAT, and asked him about this querry.. and he agreed me to promote this craft once.. all at very reasonable price..  and at present i am working on a some more revised craft with all goodies.. and i am thanking to Mr Sai Krishna of RC BHARAT, for the great promise to me and to the hobby..
         So, all respected Modellers.. i will hand over the idea and completed craft to Mr Sai Krishna, of RC BHARAT, for you all within a very reasonable price.. i promise you that this one will be great fun to fly, exciting, and easy to assemble, easy to repair, can choose various power plants.. and as we are making this from here from us, i clearly think my this humble work also promote our Nation.. and i promised Sai Krishna, that more crafts, in developments, good , stunning colour schemes, even with clear coat, after painting this makes craft more stunning and weather proof..

so, any one who need this simple stunning machine for own, please contact Mr Sai Krishna, of RC BHARAT,once.. so, you will get a nice aircraft for a very reasonable price.. stunning colour schemes.. stunning stickerings.. different models.. various power plants.. easy to make.. easy to fly.. simple but elegant.. i hope my hard works may become helpful to you all.. so my works in modelling will go on..for more good stuffs..

and also working on a low wing sporty aircraft for intermediates.. with  flaming colour scheme and stickerings..and just waiting for the patency of my active flight stabilisation mechanism.. if it is aproved, the flying will be even more fun.. 

nice bird roopesh!!!!:D

Thanks Roopesh Sir,

Will surely get this craft a very good name.

Not True Roopeshji , Jusk ask the members on this forum what u have contributed to this hobby, And you will get the answer. you have contributed a TON to this hobby and helped nearly every member on this forum. HATS OFF to you.  

Hope to get this trainer in pusher configuration with RC INDIA with help of Roopeshji (taking beginners in mind ) . Roopeshji pusher will avoid breaking of Props for Beginners 

Beautiful plane! Roopesh sir, how did you paint the plane?

 

  RoopeshKrishna Sir, you are my inspiration and reason for me to pursue this hobby....Before signing up in this forum, I have been keep on reading all your scratch building threads for days.

How about a build thread also for making this plane from scratch, may be a plan layout and dimensions on pdf. Any chances of converting it into a pusher model. A pusher model will definitely saves lot of props for beginners like me.

 

Roopesh, I was waiting anxiously to see this post after our Facebook communication. 

What do I say? I am simply amazed by the sheer brilliance & simplicity of your designs & quality of the work. You are truly India's gift to the modelling world!   

I look forward to more posts on this; a build log maybe? 

Fantastic design

Perfect, Neat and clean build

Appropriate color scheme and beautiful paint job and decals.
