Cool!!!!.... Vasanth  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: One more Cox Engine Built

I am loving it. I am available for any query.  

If you have bought the engine from prodigy_techus @ ebay.in. (seems like so..)  please do not use the prop which came with it because it is a Pusher Prop 5x3 3 Blade will be inefficient in traction. Please use a 6x3 or a 5x3 prop.

Use at least 10% Nitro (or up to 25% Nitro) for good flight characteristics.


PS : My son loves this model. Last sunday we flew in really heavy wind conditions. It was like powered soaring action. with the model almost static just creeping in head wind conditions at WOT.  :) Let me post the video while you are at it here http://www.rcindia.org/gas-glow-nitro-planes/build-and-fly-idol-laser-cut-kit-890mm-from-hobby-king-with-12-glow-engine.

Lamination film add weight to it. I hope you added the thinnest available.  :)

vasanth2787

Hello sir,

Yes i added thinnest one.It s really good and cheap :-)

sundaram

Incidentally Lamination film adds more structural strength to model as long as air frame can take the tension without warping and power plant can lug the weight.
