A few knocks later and having gotten over the fear of crashing, thought it was time to give the old bird ( http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/pusher-trainer-for-beginners-bgnr/no) some rest.

Here's my new KF 2 airfoil pusher glider. Specs are similar to the earlier trainer, the chord is 7in instead of 8. No change in the gear whatsoever. BUT this one weighs 485g (165 g less than its predecessor). The wing uses 2 nos of 3mm CF rods - one at the LE and the other at 1/3 from LE.

The maiden flight was flat and steady requiring only the minor trim adjustments. On cutting off the motor, it is sheer joy to see it glide with a whooosh and effortlessly climb on giving throttle again. The sleek build helps penetrate well and uses the motor only to gain height and then thermal/glide down.

Here are a few pics.....

beautiful build once again
looks like you have used depron this time.

He comes, flies and goes no modifications like many of us in the field

thanks, foamybuilder, since its a pusher, it is less prone to damages while on the field......may be you should try one yourself for hazzle free flying

Very nice build.........
Yes, you are right FOAMYBUILBER, he just comes & flies all the time he is on the field, but we spend more time on repairing our damages caused by small crashes.
Great build "bmblb"
Even i am planning to build a pusher model now.      

wonderful bmblb. Great achievement to make it fly first shot

Thank you, Sir.Have drawn immense inspiration from your posts......
