Hey guys!!  ;D
Recently started my next build of globemaster it will not be for sweepstakes as i will be leaving this build for a month as i have exams so here some of the pics of the progress so far..
Specifications:
1500mm fuse
1450mm Wingspan

Power Plant :
2 X 64mm EDF's Dr. Mad Thrust
2 X 60A HK ESC
2200mah 45-90C nanotech battery
Turnigy all metal retracts
6 X EMAX ES08AII servos's
[/b]

I wanted to confess that the last scratch build that i did was HAL HT2 which flew but was too heavy  :banghead: so this time i will not be using any hot glue only foam glue of different types(gorilla glue,UHU POR and HK Foam glue)... 8-)

Special Thanks to : :bow:

Use coro for wing with the flutes along the chord. use a good balsa spar on it and have some corro ribs. you will have a rock solid wing.

Progress!!  ;D
been working all day
1.Glued the formers and as i am using UHU means it takes 12hr to cure so nothing more could be done to fuse
2.Wings cut out and engine rib cut and glues by 3 pieces of 2mm balsa
3.Mid Section done using HD foam and joining spar glued for overnight

Some pics:

Wonderful; build :thumbsup:......

I saw that you are using Dremal's glue gun!!!   :thumbsup:....... this itself shows your quality consciousness and appreciation for highquality work.

Generally glugun is the most ignored instrument in the complete cnstruction process; :giggle:
