So after almost 3 years of chopper flying, I decide to start with planes. Got it from RCD last week.
Electronics
Motor : NTM Prop Drive Series 28-26A 1200kv
ESC : Turnigy Plush 25A
Servos : HXT 900
When I got the package, I was a bit shocked that I paid 5.8k for few pieces of thermocol :P
Jokes apart, All the components pit perfectly and the build process was smooth.

Unfortunately, my first attempt was a hard nose in crash since I had the elevators reversed.
Many thanks to Anand bhai (http://www.rcindia.org/profile/?u=2946) and Sanjay Sir (http://www.rcindia.org/profile/?u=4444), they sorted out the issues with the glider and did a first flight for me.
I have crashed the glider 4 times out of my 5 attempts :giggle:
@Sujith - Your first and thereafter all flights were wonderful and no one can imagine that you flying plane first time :hatsoff:
Thanks :)
Sujith, your flying skills are exceptional, not beginner. As to the reversed Elevator & Rudder.....well, it happens. No prob. You did not crash when we were flying ;D
Thanks for the kind words, Sanjay ji.
This glider is real fun to fly - So addicted that ... I haven't flown my heli since last week :P
I think by March you will be flying 3D {:)} ;D
Haha, yes would love that !!!
Would there be a maiden video ?
Unfortunately, no maiden video Anwar bhai
Can you manage a "glide test" video ? :)
Sure, can manage a video over the weekend
I noticed the date on the newspaper was not clear, so here is one more close up direct from the dna site
