well done..rishi sir's models always flies well..rather glides well..but did you get it for 1000 bucks only?

@tatum.. 1000 + 250 shipping

wow damn cheap mann!!!

  I crashed today.... yaaaaaaay
here's a pic....



i figured out what happened afterwards, and am now working on repairing it....  
the motor is too strong for this plane...   i don't know if that's good or bad.... but it took off without giving ANY elevator, and with the throttle at 50%
then the wings couldnt handle the lift, and they folded....then it hit the ground....

luckily, no damage to any electronics...  
only the balsa strengtheners in the fuselage broke....

...and the wwing...
so now i am rebuilding all the strengtheners with 6mm plywood...

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!!!! xD

That is the correct spirit 

i second sanjayraj55!

great spirit there aniket, broke it even before the result was announced

PS
i see some fungus between your nose and upper lip ,

@rcpilotacro.... thats peachfuzz..
i'll only upload a maiden video when it flies well the first time.. lol...

day 2... crashed again...

edit: this time i figured out the problem... :/
there was too much Dihedral...about 20^o...

anyways... repairs again...   

I am naming my plane "hobie"
In loving memory of my cat, who died because of dogs, who broke his neck...

R. I. P. HOBIE CAT (Dec 2012-apr 2013) we will all miss you and may you always live in our hearts...

Thanks guys for taking the time to read this...

Keep going..  
you rock ..

RIP Hobie, you were beautiful. God grant you peace forever.

It flew this time.... circled a few times... suddenly the wings vibrated, and the plane went into a nosedive from 50ft in the air... smashed nose first right into the ground....

broke the whole front region of the plane...(smashed to bits) and dented the motor shaft.....

first my cat, and now this... don't think i will even bother rebuilding now...

thanks,
aniket

Aniket, I am sorry to hear of your cat, and your crash

Please don't get discouraged, these things sometime happen.

Make another model. The shaft can be replaced.

Maybe get an experienced modeller to check the aircraft before covering, and before the flight?

All the best

flight pics...


the crash... (because of gusting wind draft)


the damage...

Sorry for your cat,she was a beautiful one.
As far as your crash goes,don't be disheartened please it is just some crashes,ask around,people have had many but what you need is will and patience to do it again and you can after seeing your pictures and your building.
Just be patient and do re-build,Rc is a great hobby,just keep praciticing.
Cheers
Priyum

@priyum...yeah... right now i am putting the cessna on hold, buying another motor, and building a more crash resistant aircraft...
