Post by: topalle on February 14, 2014, 04:08:05 PM
Hello everyone...
After a month of serious studies I could not resist building something...
Stole some coro on the way home and here I am building a new plane...

This time it is an edf jet trainer plane
No plans used...just my creativity
Wingspan is 40 inches...
Swept back wing...
Airfoil not yet decided
Current progress.... cut the pieces required for the wing

Sir, I want to build an edf trainer.... I will consider building a delta wing...( probably a huge one from coro in april after exams.. I am building this as an apetizer after returning to the hobby after a month...)
It must be somewhat like BAE Hawk's fuse

How should I make the leading edge?
Should I go for a boxy fuselage?

Guys,got a new idea for making the leading egde and also for fixing holes and cuts in coro...
Instead of using tape, I thought of using one side of coro... ( by splitting the coro by cutting th flutes off...
We will get a plastic paper that we can use like coro "bandage" or coro"cloth"
