The Corrowot was conceived as an Aerobatic Model for a 40 size Nitro Engine
I'm trying to adapt it to electric, and aim to keep the weight to 1.5 Kg, using a 3536-1450 KV motor, a 3300 mAh Lipo, and a 10*7 prop
48" Span, 10 1/2 plus 2 1/4 " (aileron) Chord, fully symmetrical wing out of 3 mm Corro
Tail feathers 4 mm Corro
Fuse from 4 mm Corro
Fuse
Fuse
Assembly. Oh, the Spar height is a massive 1 3/4"!
Assembly
Model ready, planned to maiden yesterday, but too much crowd
Will make another wing, not happy with this one - soft Corro - Election Signboard grade ;) ;) - no stiffness
Eagerly waiting Sir.... {:)}
Thanks Amitabh; so am I ;D
I've got two cans of grease, one for each hand ;)
Superb
u are the Maiden Boss @ Girish.....Grease or no Grease it will still fly fine ( i am sure ). After all its BOLTZ's Plane :hatsoff:
Ha ha! Lets hope for the best
Sir can you please tell me how did you decorate the wings and the fuse i.e how did you make those coloured strips and also how did you make that front landing gear?
Thanks,
Priyum.
Sir this is your second corrowot right?
Wrong.
It is my first attempt at a Corrowot
Priyum:
I use vinyl sign, available from people who make signboards and/or sell Corro,
The Landing gear is readymade, available with RCD, RCB and HK. Costs Rs. 200
could you tell me from where do you source these signs from because we live like around half an hour from each other so maybe if i could also buy the signs and also could you tell me the same for the corro?
(sorry if i am irritating you with these constant questions) :P
Try Pearl Plastics, Paharganj

New wing. In shocking pink
Shocking, really shocking :rofl:

:rofl:
Same colours used - don't look so good on pink :(

But this is real Corro, packing grade, not that soft signboard grade
Wing has built absolutely true :) :)
very pretty sir :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thank you Utkarsh. Hope it flies too ;)
Of course sir... When it is built by you then definitely it would fly... :)
Sanjay Sir, beautiful model. :thumbsup:.
Speed with which you are going you are forgetting to do the Newspaper formality also. ;) All I could see was a Newspaper in the morning and now the model is almost complete. You are supposed to do the formality some where in the middle of the build too. :giggle:
Way to go Sanjay Sir {:)} {:)} I must admit you are going full steam. Difficult to catch up.
PS : All is fare in love and Waaarrrrr..... grrr... some controversy to slow you down is warranted. >:D
@sandy sir... controversies are catalysts for Sanjay sirs builds... let one arise and there will be a new model by dusk tomorrow.. to negate the controversy. :D
Great going sir...
@Girish sir :giggle:
Great build Sanjay Sir. I'm assuming you would have filled your workshop with scratchbuilds by now............
excellent build sanjay sir waiting for maiden video :salute: :salute: :salute:
Sandy: advance warning. I'm going to start another build today >:D >:D
An Avispad. My last one had an 'incident' with a nutcase learner driver :violent:
Girish, as usual, is correct ;)
Maahin, my shop should be full, but people keep taking my models from me ..... or maybe I give them away :headscratch: :headscratch: :headscratch:
Thanks Gaurang. Soon, soon ;D
Successful Maiden! 8) 8) 8)
What a lovely flier! Stable and responsive. Not only me but Girish and Arvind also flew it.
A real pleasure to fly. Now will set DRs for some serious mischief >:D >:D >:D >:D
Video will be uploaded later today; waiting for my sons to wake up so we can go exercise our franchise - vote ;D ;D
Congratulations :thumbsup:
Thank you Sandy sir. I really really recommend this model
Put a 25 AX or a 30, or a Brushless 320 W and above........it is a real pleasure to fly. I'm sure Girish and Arvind who also flew it will second me on this. The original used a 40! Can only imagine the action :giggle: :giggle:
Superb model... rolls and loops were a breeze... some extra power and flaps for landing would be a treat

Flying above those men ducting down is pretty hazardous

What is ducting down?
Sanjay sir: It looks more colorful in bright daylight :-* (:|~ :hatsoff:
Thank you Nithinraj :D
Great build Sir, seems like a great flyer.
Thanks Maahin. Now all it needs is you to pilot it ;D
Will try to keep it alive till you come for your summer hols - if you don't go to Gora-land for an internship
Am not going there. Will be back in Gurgaon on 20th
Great....we'll try hard to keep it alive :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Everyone wants to fly it now :giggle: :giggle:

Everybody's responsibility is nobody's responsibility :banghead: :banghead:
Great build. {:)} congrats for successful maiden.
The model looks good.... and flies well..... Great.
Well.... maybe I'd be scared to fly in so crowded a place....
Arrey no worries.....I'm pretty sure you'll make a new one in case this crashes :giggle:
Thank you Ayub, Shobit.
Maahin - you make one now :D
sanjay sir excellent build and good video :bow: :bow: i was build 46 size coro trainer 11 years ago your plane flies very smooth that makes me interest in coro again
Thanks Gaurang. Now you too banao banao :D :D :D
This of course is not a trainer, but a simply wonderful model to fly ;D

ohh sorry for my mistake sir
Arrey! No problem :D
Sir this is one of the most Beautiful Coro built Plane I ve ever seen. Even the Log is pretty easy to understand. You are really a Coro Legend. :hatsoff: :hatsoff: :hatsoff: and also + :salute: :salute: :salute:. I tried my hands on a Corro but sadly dint completed it. The main issues were with the landing gear. Will post you some pics soon.
Converting this model to Nitro. In the process of putting an ASP 25 A II on it :D
Another nice model Sanj... wonder how I missed it and never came across it.
Thanks Deepak :)
This awesome build changed hands from Sanjay sir's to mine some time back, and went through the following mods:
- an ASP 0.25 engine
- wingtips
- smaller landing wheels
- larger tail wheel
The model flies pretty well (implicit when Sanjay sir builds one) and with the wingtips, was able to sustain knife edge flight

The camera is mounted on my cap so please bear with the rather distant shots
PS: Enjoy some nice 3d flying by Raghav in the footage and other cool planes at the field.
:thumbsup: cool
Gaurang .... A thumps up to the model .... And a double thumps up to the engine and its tuning .... A pinch start ..woooo
me too amazed at the engine start up.
beautiful model .
Thanks docnayeem and Manoj. It is indeed a fun flyer.
I've had my days of trouble with starting glow engines but the lessons learnt have come in useful.
Good to know that ..... Girish ... And it would be even better if you could share the lessons learnt .... :)
Hahaha, I am just no expert with engines, but since you corrected my name, I'll share my experiences ... :giggle: :giggle:
- use the starter only when everything fails, use a chicken stick. Learn to manage the frustration, then every successful start is rewarding
- right amount of fuel in the chamber to start, 'itna sa' fuel is more than enough.
- these sized glows take about 4 litres (not four tanks) of fuel for properly breaking in before they can really deliver good power.
- run one click rich from what one thinks is correct. running really rich will destroy plugs sooner than one expects. Keep spare plugs
- During break in, give the engine enough, like really enough fuel so it four strokes and let it burn one tank on low throttle while 4-stroking. it's tempting to go full throttle on new engines
- If the engine is tuned correctly, a little flick is enough to start it. for tuning, 'listen' to your engine. Every flying session needs a tuning because of weather/humidity. I try to keep the engine head temp around 210-220 C.
- eliminate problems in this order, engine temperature > tank plumbing + backpressure > no fuel/flooding > throttle settings > idle settings > mixture settings (HSN) > glow plug > fuel quality > LSN
- use pinch test for LSN
- engine starts and dies down?, if repeat pinching the exhaust helps, the engine is running lean, if pinching fuel line helps, its running rich
- start lots of engines, stop them, re-start, get some scars on fingers. Never give up, be at war with the engine. And then when it just doesn't start, give up and place the blame on the engine, curse the engine if that helps. Try again after sometime.
- give full throttle right before take off to get things in order (I always forget this and then have to walk up the plane with an engine that just quit). This helps cleaning out engine and also brginging the engine to the correct temp
- all engines quit and they will quit when you want them most
- talk to people on the field about the problem, seek help
I still have my days of quitting engines ;)
You forgot to add: make sure your fuel is mixed and stored correctly :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
waiting for a video
Fabulous scale build plane.
Zalman: see the post - there are SEVEN videos in it :D
Carl, it is not a Scale Model
