Oh thanks , updating 8-)

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.
:hatsoff:
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 .
Very good build. You bought coro from the same dealer that i told you in naka?
Yep 8) , I'm really liking this smiley .
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...
yeah ;D , so are you currently in Allahabad or in Lucknow ?
I am in Allahabad. I had finally received my HK order. feeling very happy to see at new motors and ESC's... ;D
Good Going Devang :thumbsup:
Me too building nearly same plane F22 from flight test. will soon be posting a build log and pics in a new thread.

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

Nope it's fine I have tested it , but anyway thanks for your concern :hatsoff:
