The high towers around the playground make the place very gusty as wind blows through the gaps.

Ashok Sir Congratulations on the successful test flight. Flew beautifully 

Lovely flight ! Smooth sailing !! Cheers ...

Thanks  Need encouragement to continue building

Was under the impression that the Sweepstakes end on 15th April - just realised its 15th of next month - so what to build?

@ashok baijal
About a year back you had bought a trike/rogallo parts.
Build it.

Your view on this paint scheme 

Lovely. If you can do it without adding excess weight.

nice build. congrats for the successful maiden.
If u are already in Hoskote, it would have been better to do maiden at our regular flying area.

Dusted out my Fokker DR VIII and decided to give it a coat of paint. PROBLEM How to make the insignia of a bird (Post #80 above) that was there on the original? Any ideas?

One possibility -locate the pic  on google. Then, print on your home printer on photo paper. Cut it out, then glue on the fuse (SR 998 is a good option here) and cover with clear tape

Sanjayji, I have the picture but my inkjet cartridge is dried out. Its a Canon printer and not been able to locate a replacement. Tried filling it with fresh ink but again it did not work. I was planning to print it out on tracing paper but the shops where printing is done are not prepared to try printing on thin sheet.

Painting completed. Left out the bird emblem.
