Here are a few pictures of my Kaiser Mk I or the earlier Kaiser (it had the tailplane attached to the bottom of the fuselage).  I first flew a balsa model of this one long time back i.e. sometime in 1983 - 85.  The present one is all of thermocol (fuselage of HD thermocol and wing of commercial thermocol).  Its a semi symetrical wing unlike the one given in the kit which is akin to Clark Y aerofoil.
Well I been into aeromodelling since I was in School....  and then been in the air for over 30 years.  Now looking to be back into aeromodelling full time...

Hi Shobhit

I found the model had to be flown reasonably fast as there was a tip-stalling tendency. This could be offset by introducing some washout. I made a new wing in Corro, without washout, and I just fly it fast.

I of course have a vision problem when the model is a little far, so quite possibly it could be pilot error too ;)

Thanks a lot Sanjay Sir...... I too like my models flying fast and am putting a 3530 NTM motor with a 4 cell to test it.  I am sure it will be a bit too heavy on the gas... Later will reduce it to a 3 cell if all goes well.  The plan recommends 300 - 400 watts of power for the motor and mine is going to give 425 W with a 3 cell and 560 W with a 4 cell.  So lets hope that all goes well.....
Thanks for the input.... will keep the tip stall in mind and not allow it to go too far....

What KV motor, and which prop are you planning to use?

shobhit17

I am fixing a 3530 1400 kv motor of NTM and will be using 9x6 or 10x6 depending on a 4 cell or a 3 cell battery..

So i think it has high power thats because of the motor right? ? And weight of the plane or any other also depicts that? ??

Aeromodelling is my Hobby, and RCI is my e-book. I'm content  ;D ;D

A good theme for the Sweepstakes, i think...

Flew my Kaiser low winger a few days back.... with a 3 cell... went perfest.... was too hot at Allahabad and so did not have the heart to ask someone to take pictures of it.  Anyway.... nest time will surely take and post them here....

Great Shobhit sir  :thumbsup: Waiting for some videos

BTW, don't you think you should start another thread on your Kaiser? This is a Build Log thread
