Thanks Kalyan Da.

The motor I used is the 2212-10, 1400kv 140 watts. Well, my exmas are over and I have a two months long vacation.

The front wheel is basically, the landing gear of an old RTF plane that I have. I took out both the wheels stuck it together to make a single wheel and put it on the nose gear.

Dear Rohit,

Please accept my heartiest  :salute: :salute:

What did you use to attach rubbebands to fuse?? Nylon screws?? what length??

How did you sand foam to an airfoil??

How much is AUW?

:help:

Thank you

Vishwas

Thank You so much vishwas.

Well, I had these normal metallic screws lying down in my house, of about 2 and a half inches long. I used that.

For sanding you require lots of patience. I basically use two sand papers, 80 and 160 grit metallic grains. Stick that to a piece of wood or a sample foam block(which is what I did) and then just sand till you get the desired shape. For deep sanding use the 80 one and for light sanding use the 160 one. I just drew an airfoil shape on the cross-section of the wing and then sanded it accordingly.

Haven't measured the AUW.

So, went to maidan at 5.30 am today for the maiden. Hand launched it, excellent glide performance. Just that the day was too windy, I was really having a hard time controlling it, decided to land and save the model. Have a few cosmetic damages due to the hard landing, other than that everything else is fine. Waiting for a calmer day. Sorry, don't have the video, I took the video cam with me, but had forgot to charge it.  :banghead: :banghead:

Augustinev, could you care to elaborate how you determined this just looking at some photos?  The reason I am asking is that I cannot make out the difference and when I am into scratch builds, I think understanding this part may mean the difference between a crash and a safe landing.

So, I actually decided to put the 3 sec video that the camera did shoot before it shut down due to low battery  :banghead: :banghead:. Haven't been able to take it since, was busy with the extra 300. Anyhow, here's the intro with the 3sec footage at the end.
