The 35" fuse pipe section alone weighs 1 kg... should I use it? I will try to get some lighter pipe of the same size

this just a suggestion.....

has any one tried using 2 pepsi or coke pet bottles???  ..    the 1.5 or 2 liter one

should be much lighter in weight...and somewhat crashpoof

Oh... what an idea... thanks... but do you know how to join two bottles?

Cut the bottom of both the bottles...make a notch on one of the bottles...

then join both the bottoms of the bottles...

use any industrial grade glue Araldite ..... thn wrap it with a fiber tape....  just for strength

u can try hot glue but i dont think its gonna be as strong ..

do post some pics if it works...

cheers

did u try the pet bottels for fuse???

Not yet.... will try it as soon as I get some bottles...and time..

I hope the construction gets ready soon wish you best of luck

Thanks

Due to issues in construction of fuse... I have decided to build a rather boxy fuse than a fancy round fuse...
After this flies well I will definitely remove this boxy one and try to get some depron to make a round one...

Wow!! Awesome thought! waiting to see it flying!! all the best for your construction.

Thanks a lot... I am also eager to make it fly soon...
Out of stolen coro... need to get some to resume building

Leading edge completed...
270 grams something wing section... + 2* 9 gram servos = Under 300 grams

Progress so far

how it should look...

No comments?

Ambitious project. Don't bother about the comments/feedback. Just keep at it. All the best!

What is the fuse made out of?

Didn't make the fuse...
Its a pvc gutterpipe...
I will wrap coro around it and remove the pipe afterwards...

very nice best of luck

Thanks... no building tomorrow as going out of station

Restarted the work... left the wing in a dilapidated condition...
now renovating the wing.. boxy fuselage to be done soon...
I used very thin control surfaces and thy were not even placed properly... removed them and i am going to add new ones... should scale sizing of control surfaces do?

Great bro. Just a suggestion. Try contacting shantanu borate sir from mumbai here. Few days back he build a similar model using round thermocol tube. You can ask him where he got that. I remember he told me once he got it from a gift shop.

 I am facing issues with the leading edge ... see the pics that follow...

Some problem while posting pics in phone due to low memory

Here is a depiction of the wing cross section...

can i use vinyl to make the leadig edge?
