Quotecool and i wish u success in this project.

thanks subbu

update,finished cutting wing half with ailerons,aero foil,tape hinges and dihedral

update, basic fuse is done need to sand n trim

update, fuse is done n elevator is being glued as i post rudder next in line

hey,
is it thermocole that u r using?
Edwin

yes its thermocole but of varying densities

update, the plane is near ARF stage  

update,finished covering the wing n cut the servo slot (connecting rods/control horn will be done by morning). Started covering the fuse!

hey guys i just finished my blu-baby without electronics

its a 33inch BLU-BABY

the time i took to build it was exactly 3hrs 4mins and 37seconds

mine had many improvements too i had a rib assisted airfoil and carbon fibre reinforcement too

the material i used was the same thermocol i was talking about in the other thread

let the pics speak for themselves

hi  subbu

in the 4th n 5th pictures the fuse and tail surfaces look slight bend  or this is a photo effect

what is the weight of the model now ?

update,wing is done and the servo centers at 1460usec or 1.46msec with little upward angle in both the aileron half's

hey sahil bhaiya sorry the cf rod were out of position i have rectified the problem now

the weight of the model currently with landing gears is a mere 85gms


subbu

hey you don't have to say sorry and what power setup are you planing to use also what is the bead size of the thermocole you are using ?? (1mm - 2.5 mm dia)

here's my spec

Power setup

motor: 10gram 1811-2000 brushless motor from hobbycity
prop: GWS 5X3 orange propeller
battery: Hyperion 2S 400mah
ESC: turnigy-plush 10A

the motor prop combo is suppose to produce 130grams of thrust at 3amps draw 2S

expecting the auw to be under 90 grams !

update

great i am putting in a beast of power

2212/10 with a 9*5 and a 3s 850 mah batter and no rudder control only ailerons flaps and elevator

i could fly nine of your blu-babies with my motor

hi subbu just make sure the model is upto it

update, building landing gear  guys i was thinking of using rubber band to hold the landing gear to fuse what do you people think

Isn't it better to use something like cycle spokes to build the landing gear, to conserve weight ?

hi subbu just make sure the model is upto it

you said it right

the tremendous power from my motor and the lack of reinforcement on the wing lead to the flex in the wing which ultimately gave way and one wing half just came out well the plane flew well anyways



subbu

hey guys i just finished fixing it and it glides as it used to be but i have added another 100gms of reinforcement on the wing and body to handle the pressure and it seems to work



subbu

Why not couple of CF rods, aluminium rods, kabab sticks etc ?  This is one heck of a reinforcement 

i dedicate the latest version of my blu-baby to rcindia
