Thanks Doctor, this was built a month back, just dint have the proper motor for it, one of my friends motor was used on it.
The model was fast in the video as the throttle was almost full trying to gain height, but once the throttle is 50% it glides slowly, even if the throttle is off it glides beautifully. May be next week will try to take the video.

I have used the normal transparent sheet you get in stationary shop, its around 5 rupee per sheet, i think it is called cello-fin sheet (not sure).

It work good on coro.

Thanks for the info, BTW the model looks really good in the air !!

How have u stuck the cellophane?

Camelin glue.

Simple solution to a simple problem Does Camelin stick well to plastics?

I have tried this film before....I have never used camlin for sticking it but fevicol seems to wrinkle the film and the finish is very uneven.........

Try it this time, spread the glue all over the wing & then try to place sheet on the coro, if there are wrinkle then u can remove the sheet & put it back again as the glue doesnt dry quickly.

lets hope your piper stick flies well next week
