That's very nice of you to post the details.
Wait for the maiden flight details.
Great to see the model Akshay! Its a good start. Is that the foam you recently bought ? It is Styrofoam isn't it ? Not Depron/Biofoam. I would suggest you to completely cover the plane with Clear Scotch tape, before putting some fiber Tape on the leading edges.
You ESC looks over kill and LiPo just little under kill for the motor :
I would have suggested the below ESC:

and below LiPO:

Nevertheless you setup is still good to go.
All the best and hope to join you for the maiden.

Harsha please meet someone personally. It helps.
I am a beginner too - things seemed a lot better after i made aeromodeller friends in blore.
hey guys.. can i buy this tx and rx .. is it good???
http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8338 (http://hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/uh_viewItem.asp?idProduct=8338)
pls tell ur suggestions..
I have that one. It is good. Buy one locally if possible from praveen or aman_funny to avoid problems with customs :)
will there be any pbms with the customs ??? :headscratch: In hobby kings, it costs only $23 but if i buy locally in any hobby shop in chennai or nearby it costs more than 2000 rs
Hey its $23 + shipping ( $17.95 ). Plus you will need to buy the USB cable for $2.99.
$23+$17.95+$2.99 = Rs.2024
hmm. thats notable... is anyone ready 2 sell their old used or any new Tx and Rx under rs 2000????
Hai Friend..its a nice and stunning craft...thanks for the idea...and sharing..best wishes for a best flying...
Raghav sorry to give it to you straight. This won't fly well. I doubt will it fly at all. You need to look at some straight wing long wing span aircraft. Don't waste your electronics on this .
Just a friendly advice
oh..god...
