Yes it is the drawling of the Earlier Kaiser which was once upon a time their one of their first few RC models... actually a 3 channel model but I have always flown it as a 4 channel one.  The pictures of the plans put in the first post show it clearly.... This plans dated back to 1982 or 1983 when I first made the model.  I have one copy of it with me.  Guess that is the last surviving one as Sharma's have shifted to the Kaiser Mk II for their production for some time.

Thanks for appreciating the build.... well it is also supposed to give an insight to the budding aeromodellers to take some cues and incorporate them into their model building.  Hope they do it.

Well the landing gear of this model is made out of 2.5 mm Duralium Allow sheet i.e. the sheet used to make aircraft skins. I managed some of it somehow.  If your plan for Kaiser Mk II is torn --- just put it upside down on a table and put tape to join the plan.  My old plan has over a dozen pieces of tape stuck to it.

Hey did u buy it from the Sharma's or somewhere else.  You mar try talking to Mr Vivek SHarma and he might send you another plan of Kaiser Mk II.  OR else just go to the Air Wing NCC and ask their Aeromodelling instructor if he has a spare plan of that model.  Being in Chandigarh you should not have any problems.
If you wish to know anything you are welcome...

Flew my Kaiser today....... it has small issues of setting up the controls to make it fly balanced with no trim.... presently its a slight roll to the left and pitch down.... so the trim setting are slight offset to the right Aileron and nearly full pitch down on the elevator.  Flew twice and did a few aeros..... will trim it today on the work table and fly again maybe in the evening or tomorrow morning and post its videos.

Well Rakshit Sharma...... The Sharma Models makes the Kaiser..... but this is the old Kaiser i.e. the Mk I.  You may see my initial posts in the forum to know more and see the pictures of the plan which is a blue print and has been joined at many places.  This plan dates back to sometime in 1981 - 82 when I first made this model.  The present model has some small differences from this one.  The original model is a 3-4 channel Rc model.
