Fuselage sides are cut out from 3mm foam.

kiran rc · June 27, 2015, 09:37:46 PM

@introrc, works with 1 cell lipo.

Tail section. Hinge is also the depron itself. It is creased and grove is made by cutting the edge at 45degree.

kiran rc · June 27, 2015, 10:18:10 PM

Wing part cut out. Ready to join them. The leading edge is folded at an angle for aerofoil shape and make the lift much easier.

good build... go on!!!
it will be unstable in wind...
mine tips over when taxing to the runway(pitch)
you'll have to fly it indoors

Attached both the corner of wing to the centre piece using foam glue at 45degree.

kiran rc · June 27, 2015, 11:00:27 PM

@prabal .In no wind it may fly outdoors. I don't think it will have any problem because it's going to around 35grams (auw). And it is also going to be 3 ch.

Constructing the fuselage. Sides pieces are attached to the center base using foam glue.

kiran rc · June 28, 2015, 08:18:19 AM

Added rectangle pieces of depron for strengthening.

prabal276 · June 28, 2015, 08:36:47 AM

Mine is the real size old fogey,
Three channel and 450gms....

i have problems with it even in one mph winds..
