Hello Devang {:)}
Very good. You started working on this. I am sure this is the Rastogi Brothers thermocol sheet. very good effort buddy... I'll use this thread now for my references... I'll also start this in a day or two.

Thanks  ;) , I wanted to use coro , but I had bought both and tested them , it turned out that the coro was not stretchable enough  :giggle: for this plane's fuselage .

utkarshg13

Very good build. You bought coro from the same dealer that i told you in naka?

devangflyer

okay  8) , the esc , sevos and the receiver are hooked up and the frame is ready , still got a lot to do like motor mounting and sanding , all the best to me  ;D  8-)  :salute:   :salute: :giggle:

I told you na that this is a very nice sheet. Easy to work on. Although, its not very high density but a very good option instead of coroplast...
