Designed by Josh Bixler....of HK Bixler fame.

I've never built a foamy before, flown 2 though (Easystar 2 and Multiplex Fun Cub)

Managed to get 6 mm Biofoam from Sitaram Stationers, South Ex. 1, New Delhi. Rip-off at Rs. 300 a sheet!!!!

Warning: This is not a beginners model!!!

Plans printed on a plotter

As it is printed on a plotter (very big printer actually) the finish will be excellent. :)

I missed the maiden :(

Rai Sahib, that is a stunner! Are you on your way to becoming a professional modeller? If there ever was an award for the most prolific builder on this forum - it would have your name on it. How many, so far, this year Sire?
Growing old is mandatory, growing up is optional!

Don't know VC sir  :rofl: Lost count  ;) ;) :D Thanks so very much :)

To transfer from plans to the foam, I use a sharp pencil and poke through at the primary points. Then I play join the dots :D

sanjayrai55

Build is fairly simple. However, the Flite Test swappable series goes together with notches slots and tabs, so you need a high degree of precision and accuracy in marking and cutting

sanjayrai55

I had bought some monokote (clone) from Ganguly-da of Lotus Hobby many many years ago. Decided to check if it had dried out :D  Worked fine

I prefer to put the trims before assembly

sanjayrai55

Sunburst design on bottom, stripes on top.

Had bought these "snake" pushrods a year ago, decided to use them

sanjayrai55

Swappable Power Pod. You can use this in many FT foamie models, it's a modular design you unplug from one model and plug into another 8) 8)

I wanted to fit the L/G on this, but as things worked out, it interfered with the battery :(

sanjayrai55

All 3 servos HXT 900. Motor is Turnigy 2826 1400 KV, and prop (thanks Girish!) is 9*47 SF. Needs a 30 A ESC, I only had a 40A so used it

Finally made the LG as per the plans. Didn't like the idea of so much load on the wing (I specialise in rough landings  :rofl:) but there seemed little choice

sanjayrai55

The wing hold-down rubber bands also keep the L/G in place. Good, else on a rough landing the bottom wing will get damaged. Should reduce that

Added a tail skid in the form of a small piece of Bamboo Skewer

Awesome build sir. The finish is just like on all your builds incomparable and beautiful.
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.
