Hi all! 
i finally recieved my cessna 150 40" kit from IHC today! (finally!!)    --- :Rs:1000
here is today's progress...

this is the 1st wing... there was one horrible Rib, R2, which just refused to stick... i tried everything from feviquik to Araldite... finally i got it to hold with a thin coating of fevibond....!


these are the completed wing frames....


the wings are covered with Balsa sheets from the top, with the bottom open... may wrap the whole thing in oracover later....
these are the wings and sheeting...


Next i went around to the fuselage... i wanted to make the nose wheel and rudder move with the same servo, so i had to build a rig to make the nose wheel turn... i had some spare balsa lying around, so using that, i constructed a clamp-y, holder-y-ish, thingy for the wheel.

this is the wheel in the holder, just before gluing the top on to seal it...


and this is the wheel sealed and fitted...


then i constructed the tail fin, the stabilizer, elevator and rudder. still have'nt hinged the control surfaces , or fitted the control horns.
here's the fin and stuff.


this is the completed day 1 build.


and here is a non vandalized version...


that's all for today! after a good nights (morning) sleep, i will finish the rest of the model!
right now i am gonna collapse on top of the computer....

what's left
cutting ailerons myself, because the kit is a 3 channel model
sheeting the wings, and joining them
setting up the servo's and other control surfaces...

enjoy!

Great going!
Maybe i'll come down tomorrow and have a look at it

Keep it up and don't mess up!

hey aniket nyc build but is the landing gear just too long for the plane i think its keeping the plane too high above the ground ...it can be also how the picture is captured cause looking at the pic it seems so .....or i need to check my eyes  

Yea Shannon... The landing gear is a little high... More so with the wheels... After building if I still find it high, then I'll replace it with a plastic one

Whatever hard work you've put in it is commendable. Really, it's beautiful that too making on your own without any help .

@guruDEV, Thanks!

DAY 2!

ok.. here is the build log for day 2...

Started of with covering the wing frames, with balsa, and creating ailerons... (because the kit doesnt have ailerons prebuilt....)



after that i went about setting up the servo's, control rods and elevator and rudder....
i only had horns for 2 control surfaces,(came with the kit), so i have still not connected the ailerons to servo's...

this is the Rudder servo:-



...and the same from above...



i powered up the receiver, and connected all the servo's for the first time.... then went around to program and trim each one...
then PROBLEM 
one of the servo's wasn't working... i checked it with other channels, but it was refusing to move... didn't buzz or anything... just sat there lifelessly while the other 3 servo's were bouncing about.... i sent a mail to RCB... if i can get it replaced then good... otherwise

anyways,
this is the completed and covered wing (stamped "wing")



underneath the "servo and other electronic stuff bay", i put a little flap, that i can open and close to access the parts... it closes nice and tight



after that, i finally joint the wings together, and mounted them on the top of the fuselage...
DIHEDRAL= 15^o
WINGSPAN=38 in



Specially for SHANNON,
here's a profile view, with wheels and undercarriage....





that's it then.. today's progress...thats my Tx... FSTH9x....

What's Left

fitting motor, ESC LiPo
rigging the Flaperons
covering it with Oracover or something similar... (suggestions welcome)

Nice build Aniket 

Great build, keep it up , I built the same model, but its falling on its tail without the battery.

i forgot the damn newspaper snap again

that is the only proof that you started the build within the given timeframe. in your case there aint any proof to that effect. nevertheless nice build

@yasho, yep! Mine too... ... Where did you purchase it from

Will it help if I post this now?

I am using a emax cf2822 motor with a 8x6 prop

Oh.... I felt the 2822 would be a little under powered....

HELP! now i have finally come to the ailerons stage, and for the life of me, i can't figure out how to set up the flaperons w/o another piece of hardware..... i have 2 servo's for each individual aileron, and a FSTH9X Tx....

bump!

Special thanks to RcBazaar for promptly shipping me a replacement servo! now my ailerons are set up, with spoilerons and flaperons....

will post some pictures soon!

QUICK UPDATE:

got monokote today, and started covering the wings.... Also my Tx battery cleared customs... (customs was 30/- by the way xD)

Also installed a back light on my Tx....  Here are some pics...
