Title: Coro Cessna
Post by: prashant_rc on June 01, 2012, 10:10:47 PM
After few unstable flights thought of increasing length of fuselage, length between trailing edge and horizontal stabilizer, hope this should work for me,

this is the one initially done

Photo 1


Then increased the length of fuselage, gave colors like a Cessna trainer
ready for a test flight on Sunday if everything works,

for any design corrections
suggestions are welcome

@madhavan, s CG is good as it is slightly nose heavy, well I put my fingers at the wing at 33%

@vineet s just used ordinary color paper, but will change once maiden flight is done

@Mustang, s coro comes in yellow, blue, and white colors, i used white sheet, so i had to color with yellow

thanks to all :)

@helliflyer

landing i used cycle spoke (but would consider using steel spring wire) just bent like L shape and attached to wooden piece, tied with binding wire initially and applied 10 epoxy,

Amit, s it looks like both cessna and J3 piper,

as in J3 piper horizontal stabilizer is a bit oval and tapering at ends, which mine does not have,

hope it goes at very slow speed in sky

Thanks rupeshji,

thinking of a low winger too, and pusher glider, as props easily brake on a hard landings, already 4 broke,
any plans to suggest

thanks for the pics

use a prop saver to save props with normal hair rubber bands

@heliflyer

s with prop save u can save prop

but i have been using E props with prop adaptors which gives more thrust than prop saver type props with rubber, s will surely try this too

thanks

@ foldable props are option, but they too can break, s chances are 1:50

Thanks
