Wing span-30"

Material-Biofoam 5 and 8 mm

Reignforcement material-5x5mm wooden decoretive sticks and yard sticks...

Glue-1. bond tight
      2. fevicol decoretive glue

hello friends,

i want to change  the plan a bit....

the battery position specially..!!!
instead to place the battery on either side.... i am planning to cut a rectangular portion of the fuselage exactly under the wing...to place the battery horizontally in the slot....
wanted to ask wether it will weaken the structure ...and is the battery safe in that position....???
waiting for expert replies...!!!
this pic may help to understand my idea better..

Try reinforcing the area around the slot by chart paper, it weighs about16.5gms per 100cm2.
I am not an expert, but it looks viable as long as the Cog is not displaced. :-\
Depron is pretty strong once reinforced with chart paper...

Hi Tejas

If you cut a big lipo slot in the front of the fuselage, it will weaken the structure. On an impact with ground the stress at the corner edge of the slot will be high and the possibility of crack showing up around that area is high. Instead of cutting a big lipo slot just cut a small one so that you can use velcro to tie your lipo.

And if you have to cut a big lipo slot please dont cut in the shape of a rectangle , rather round its edges so that there is no stress concentration point.

guys here are some updated pics of my superslo-28











the dimensions of the battery cutout is 2 x 9 cm

hey guys ..here are some updated pics...









the only thing left is the landing gears....!!!!
i want some help for making those.....
please suggest me some easy ideas of making them from scratch... :help:

your control surfaces are way too big (esp elevator)- you will
find it very twitchy to fly - if you have a computer
transmitter start with about 50% exponential

hii friends..thank you for all your comments...

hii saikat can u help me in making a simulator cable ...

I recently found a cable named s-video cable from store. .. This cable has 4pins and both ends of this cable are svideo plugs...this cable perfectly fits in my hk transmitter....but the other end cannot be connected to my pc...i have also brought a loose usb connector ....my question is can i directly soulder the 4 wires of the svideo cable to the loose usb for making the cable connect to the pc....i have attached some pics of the cable and the loose usb connector for refrence....

hey tejas,

finally u completed ur build!!!! great...all the best for maiden...

i hav little doubt with he landing gear.... as i could see those are attached to fuse/nose and extended to wings..if it landed on impact then it will transferred to ur wings and may damage it.....one more thing..landing gears are in forward direction, it should be either perpendicular or little backwards to work like shock absorbers...even in forward direction it will work, but if the ride is bumpy then it will try to push gear wire inside the fuse...so be careful

and all the best!!!

The most weighty part of the plane is Battery and the wheel rods should be directly take weight of it. and for some spring action of the wheel for shock absorbing while landing, bend/use spring. But current structure seems that the weight on fuselage and landing gear loading point to wing. So, during landing, the wing will bend.

The thumb rule is that you should fix the all the major forces RIGIDLY. and here the Electronics inc. Battery for weight, Motor for thrust.

And if the male plug is perfectly fits, just make other side with a stereo audio jack and check for the PPM signal out pin. Connect with the signal (L+R) pin. Use PPJoy and got perfect simulator cable. Of course USB Simulator cable need another interfacing microcontroller. So Use of PPJoy will solve it.
Just google it.
We have to unite and to prove ourself to make indigenous products as well as marketing / Canvasing them. I'm sure we must achieve success if we try unitedly.

Thanks Ashish for ur comments...i will surely work on the landing gears position....
and thanks KALYANPRODHAN for giving me some valuable information....hope this audio jack thing works...!!! :salute: :salute:

thanks

Hii guys...this is my first flight video of my superslo-28..... :)
expert comments are welcome.. :)

I guess the plane is little tail heavy.
Adjust the battery to make it little nose heavy and it should be a smooth flyer.  :thumbsup:

TEJASCOOL007

hii
after some good suggestions i modified the fuselage and the  landing gears position...as my first flight broke the nose of the fuselage...
here are some updated pics...as my first flight broke the nose of the fuselage

i made this plane a nose heavy....and guess what.. it worked...!!! coming with a new updated video asap... :)

Hey Tejas!

Finally You made it!!!
{:)}  {:)}  {:)}

Great Cheers......

Wonderful Effort in the build. You finally sorted out finding Biofoam supply. Want to see you landing your first ever plane successfully. Try to upload a full flight video ASAP if possible. I hope I was there to cheer you up at the time of maiden.

Anyways
:hatsoff:

Really Awesome job.

What are your future plans now?
More Trainers?
Or Practice flying with this one for some time?

Brilliant.  :salute:

Thanks sumeet for cheering me up... :)

i really think that i should practice more on this trainner.....and then go for a new one....as for backup i have already built  an f-22 raptor... :P only electronics is the issue...

and will upload a nice and complete video of this trainner...asap ...waiting for the rains to go completely.... :-\ :-\
then will go fora flight...

and this is all possible because of u guys guiding me up time to time...thanks to all seniors on this forum who helped me....cheers

Its a pleasure Tejas. I hope you would be flying your F22 Raptor soon.

Thanks.
