Thank you, Glad you liked it and hats off to you guys for making such an awesome plane!

looks beautiful!  :thumbsup:
was wondering how much real carbon fiber takes to cover the whole plane!
To increase thrust you need more  money! But to reduce weight you  need nothing!

@rcpilotacro , wow sir, totally surprised you know Kohima so well, i always thought it was such a small town that nobody would even hear about it. Anyway the inn you were talking about is sadly no more , but my parents remember the place very well , seems it was very popular back in those days. Do try to come visit kohima again during the Hornbill Festival which starts from December 1 to 7, would love to take you around and do some flying with you (well lots actually)  :giggle:  . We are also planning to host an aeromodelling promotional event during the Hornbill Festival. :thumbsup:

@praveen , thank you :)  About the vinyl , it takes more or less than a metre to cover the whole plane.

Great Job! that finish looks pro!!

did you check how much weight does it add?

apart from looks does it gives any other benefit? like more crash poof?

Thank you,
Atul

@ atulrajguru , thank you & no i havent really checked out the weight yet, but it seems to be quite negligible. The vinyl wrap provides alot of strength to the fuselage and wings during rough landings and inevitable crashes.
