That's very nice of you to post the details.

Wait for the maiden flight details.

Great to see the model Akshay! Its a good start. Is that the foam you recently bought ? It is Styrofoam isn't it ? Not Depron/Biofoam. I would suggest you to completely  cover the plane with Clear Scotch tape, before putting some fiber Tape on the leading edges.

You ESC looks over kill and LiPo just little under kill for the motor :

I would have suggested the below ESC:

and below LiPO:

Nevertheless you setup is still good  to go.

All the best and hope to join you for the maiden.

I have that one. It is good. Buy one locally if possible from praveen or aman_funny to avoid problems with customs :)

raghav23

will there be any pbms with the customs ???  :headscratch: In hobby kings, it costs only $23 but if i buy locally in any hobby shop in chennai or nearby it costs more than 2000 rs

rajathv8

Hey its $23  + shipping ( $17.95 ). Plus you will need to buy the USB cable for $2.99.

$23+$17.95+$2.99 = Rs.2024

raghav23

hmm. thats notable... is anyone ready 2 sell their old used or any new Tx and Rx under rs 2000????

Raghav sorry to give it to you straight. This won't fly well. I doubt will it fly at all. You need to look at some straight wing long wing span aircraft. Don't waste your electronics on this .
Just a friendly advice
