To finish off my last piece of depron i made a biplane
attached are the pics... it flies well. :)
Pic 1 - cut out layout in depron
Pic 2 - assembled side view
Pic 3 - assembled front view
it was a fun flight especially after the YF-22. I needed it to lift my spirits up.
Good one! :thumbsup:
Does it have elevons? 'cause I can't see any ailerons...
We'd like too see a video too!
Yes it has elevons. all my a/c have elevons.. hopefully a video will be up very soon..
Good job man:thumbsup: :salute:
I used all the basics in building this a/c and im very happy with the results
1. Used an airfoil
2. Proper aspect ratio
3. Fully enclosed electronics
4. All weight concentrated at 1/3rd Line
Wow, looks like a hungry shark!
Thats the jist :) vintage decals with a hint of tribals
hi mate.
looks good.....is it a 'slow flier'?
I am looking at doing a fairy swordfish..............had the plans for a few years now.

hey bro just go to near by ground and make some footage , cant wait to see it flying .
nice build!!!!
put some wheels for ground clearance otherwise ur prop will hit ground while landing!!!
all the best!!!
WOOOWWW...naatumach...its so nice..and simple yes...your work inspiring me a lots to make a BI...thanks for sharing this effort..and yes sure please post a nice video here..awesome...indeed from simple materials...
Woww!! this is a nice build!
Since you are using non laminated bio foam, see if you can tape the leading edges with clear scotch tape to save nicks from landing.
All the best for the maiden.
Thank you all...
Sorry the plane broke, i cant put up a video.
It flew only once. The problem is that the motor is just strong enough to pull the aircraft straight without any strong winds. I have a 135W motor + 20A esc + 8060prop
Till i go back to college and save money to buy a stronger motor, 30A esc, prop and a new battery,total of around (Rupees 2500), my rc is under hibernation.
It was a slow flier and that one sortie was a lot of fun i was able to make one whole circuit of the ground.
@ashJR7202 : sir i did that after i fixed the crash, but the a/c didnt have any strength to pull up.
oh noooo..please make her flyable...
I have decided on a motor and it would only cost me Rs825.00 + cost of props.
But i have only 6days left at home so there is no chance i can get the shipping done and still be left with the time to work on it.
Sorry people.
ok..but keep it in mind...and your work inspired me a lots..so within this time i managed to make a pair of wings...after many years..i am back in to aeromodel making..but friend..back pain is intense..so need some rest..and sure your work is too inspiring...because it is simple...
and you have "ALL" have inspired me to take a chance of buying them in such a short span of time :)
@roopeshkrishna : get well soon :)
yes..because..Naatu...biplanes are simply...irressistible...ha...ha...thank you...
Vaibhav, if you don't mind me asking, what does 'naatumach' mean? :)
Just curious 'cos I saw the same user-name on roboticsindia, dailymotion, indianguitartabs, moneybhai, splutterfish etc.
naatumach doesnot mean anything its just my pseudonym. I have always had it, my dad made it when i was in seventh class, he makes really cool and unique pseudonyms.
you can find more deviantart, google, 3dm3, fb and lots that i cant even remember.
nice...hi...hi...then, will it say as nattumakkk..or nattumach..?
yes. its pronounced with a 'k' and not a 'ch'.
thank you naatumach..cool name...
It flew! *dance-dance*
After lots of glitches. Finally i strapped on the 260W motor and flew it.
Here's the flight log.
Launched at 65% throttle.
It climbed. Went pretty far ahead.
I did a little maneuver.
Then I got too excited and wanted to land it, so i foolishly cut the throttle and expected it to glide back.
I didnt throttle again because it was just above the ground and i didnt want to damage the prop.
So it landed with a thud.
Because of which a wire got loose on the inside.
I came back fixed the wire.
Posted this message.
Now im going back out again to find a camera man :)
I have the video of the maiden flight. Will post it after this flying session. happy landings :)
The image has been photoshopped, it elevator is the new one and its shadow shows how it looked before i cut it.

Awesome! {:)}
I wish there was a dancing smiley for such occasions! ;D
waiting for the vid...
Sortie 2 and 3
I really need to learn to land. Good sorties :) I am flying low for the sake of the video.
This concludes this vacation's RC build because the 260W motor melted the battery's wire and caused the originally loose wire to come off the battery.

Nice flight! :thumbsup:
Wish I had a ground like that around here!
good man :thumbsup:, make another video of high flying with a good cam.
Thank you... sorry cant make another video, i have no battery. I need to buy a new one. This battery is unserviceable and i am apprehensive of digging in because of all the stories i read about exploding LiPos
NAAATTUUU....awesome...heeeyyyy....its even more inspiring...thanks for sharing...

Don't be!
I turned a brand new 3s into a 2s for using in my Tx by ripping one cell out. You just need to be careful enough that's all!
Naatu , good build, some more streamlining probably ? Food for thought..
Yes sir, definitely. This build's motto was no loose wires.
I want to build something like your skywalker. i would love to try a balsa build. But i dont know how to make a balsa a/c.
I have seen a lot of pictures but i am looking for more detailed tutorials.
today i just ripped off one cell from my 3s 1800 mah zippy pack as the battery got bulge , now it is working fine but less throttle as i am now gettin 7.2 instead of 11.1, but the thing is now the battery is not warming at all even on the full throttle as before it was getting dam hot on full throttle , and even looking very nice .just be carefull on balancing plugs and while soldering.
After Swapnil's post so i fixed my battery. Its good to go. :)
Tomorrow morning i'll go for my sailplane's maiden.
Did you record the sailplane's flight? Eager to see it! :)
Hey Naatumach...
awe inspiring build and fantastic flight - aptly aligned to your signature -- build fly modify....
Way to go..
Cheers,
Arun
