Decided to build a plane using coroplast. Followed the basic dimensions of the FT Duster (Plans available on www.flitetest.com) However, modified it quite a bit. So, here goes my first SPAD.

Printed the plans full size and cut out the parts from the coro. This coro is 3mm thickness.

Folded the wing. Made the spar using doubled 5mm coro. The dihedral on the wing is 2 inches.

Don't have the photos. I took the two spars (one of each side) and placed them at the angle that I wanted. I then stuck a piece of plywood on either side to hold it in that position. The plywood also gives strength to the centre section. I am starting a new build in which I'll he using the same technique, will show detailed pics of that

Priyum, it takes some practice. I would suggest practicing on scrap coro and then cutting the actual parts. Also leave enough tolerance, so that if you don't get the proper shape in the first time, you can cut a little more to get the shape.

Everyone has their own favorite way of cutting and bending coro. Go through spadtothebone and spadworld to get an idea. Then try the techniques yourself.

Oh okay thankyou for your reply,and btw an amazing build sir!

Edit - Sorry for bothering you with my constant questions but i have one last question sir,how did you decorate your plane with like those strips and where do you obtain these?

Looks neat, clean and robust.
Seems like you have added too much weight for the wing size. cant say without enough evidence.
Landing gear seems tricky, will try it from my next build.
Where did you get those control horn with bolts. I need them for my Piper.

Thanks in Advance.
