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 .

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...

I think the prop needs to be reversed.
check the thrust on both sides . its in pusher config and must be reversed.
