For your information........ I too am from Lucknow... Kaiserbaugh and River Bank Colony...

  looking good.. when is the maiden then?

sab log mujhe maiden ke naam pe kyu daara rahe hai

No windows for pilot. That's why.
Flying blind on test flight will scare anyone!

damn beaten me in humour competition

I wonder how did I miss this thread. Interesting read and lots happened before I have joined the bus.

Commendable. Good progress and great effort Yash.

I hope you are using a sanding blocks for sanding the foam. Good practice is to use two to three flat blocks with sand paper of various grit from coarse to fine. So that you can sand them in that order and get smooth finish then evenly.

All the best for the maiden.    Where is gusty when the test pilot is required.   

Thank you Sandaram sir for the encouraging words..

yes sir i have like 5 sanding blocks of 60,120,150,220 and 320 grit... made by sandwiching three 10mm depron rectangle pieces and stuck by hot glue...

and regarding maiden sir i seriously need a pro test pilot like gusty sir
i am very tense regarding maiden as 5 months worth hard work could be in pieces in just 5 minutes  
lets hope it behaves like a trainer being a high wingers that was the only point for which i chose c-17 as all other airliners are mostly low wingers..

Will search for a experienced pilot for this bird in lucknow and i can always use our lucknawi nawabs like Iyer sir and Shobit sir for maiden (i am pretty serious Iyer sir )

Regards
yash  

It might be a high winger, but it has anhedral, so might not be an sweety pie of a trainer.. still love to see it in action [soon]..

Thanks Yash.... Best of luck for your first flight....

Wow! That is one HUGE effort that I am sure will pay off. Will follow this thread keenly. All the very best!

Thank you tantragna sir,shobhit sir and VC sir for the appreciation

Hello fellow members just wanted to share something that would connect with me as a person easily..  
I read somewhere that "if someone know you by face they connect easily with you" ....  So following this thought i am attaching a pic of me with the beast which could be easily recognisable rather than small pixel display pic..  

Also i wanted to update that currently i am in shillong actually and enjoying this trip a lot but want to know from seniors that what is not to be missed while being here..    

Regards
yash
