Did the maiden today, model was heavy and under powered. Hence planning to change the power system. And reduce some weight on coro side. She had a short fligh and nose dived. Feel every thing is fine except power. Will do that this week.
@PiyushI: hot wire cutter is very simple to make search in the forum. Already threads are available. I myself made using that information.

Targeted weight was 550g, now i feel it heavier than i planned. i may have to reduce some weight on fuse (Coro). Suggestion for reducing the model weight is appreciated

try making the fuselage with 1 cm styro sheets cut with the help of hot wire cutter. Use coro to give strength to the landing gear, wing attachment and motor mount area.

hi,

here is my piper J3. made from 3mm coro. All up wt is around 2.8kgs.

flys with a 5s lipo and a 650kv motor turning a 12x6 prop.

@sbajare.. what are the dimensions? Looks fab
