Works shop looks great, using travelling iron is not a good idea, HK one ain't bad at all

A Good pilot will practice until he gets it right,
A Great pilot will practice until he can't get it wrong.

Have a grandchild and then steal his cotton booties  :rofl: :rofl:

I forgot to thread the aileron servo wire through the wing ribs before covering  :banghead: :banghead:

I'll take it from outside, under the wing on the spar line, and fix with tape. Will it cause excess turbulence and affect the flying?

I can console myself saying if I have to change a servo it will be easy  ;D

That looks like a light build. It will Beautifully Soar with even a Cox if the CG is perfect'

Sanjay Sir,
You cant post pics of neat workshops like this. How do you think guys like me feel? See mine.
Thought I'd crib like some of the others!

sanjayrai55

Sandy, it will be excellent with a Cox 049! With 1500 mAH, Motor, ESC, Servos etc AUW is about 500 gms,

KK Iyer sir, I think your shop is wonderful. Enhanced certainly by those beautiful models!

sanjayrai55

Sandy boss, glad to hear about the cotton sox. Let us know how they work out  :thumbsup: ;D

sanjayrai55

Some more pics. Just waiting on the motor now


sanjayrai55

I had this Landing gear lying around, and these acrylic bolts, and the L/G was only 10 gms, and I just couldn't resist.......

Sanjay sir,
The model looks very beautiful. And I can only dream of a workshop like yours.

Where did you get the large shelf with those drawers. I've been looking for one to store all my electronic stuff and nuts and bolts.

PS: Apologies could not join you on Saturday, change of plans. Will ensure I make myself available this weekend. Would love to see this model in air.

sanjayrai55

Would you like to maiden it? I'm looking for someone; my skill level is not good enough  ;D

girishsarwal

Sanjay sir, given your years of experience, my skill level comes no way close to yours. Putting this beauty to her maiden flight, while so exciting, would be a disgrace if done with trembling fingers. :D. I will spend some time this week to come over the stage fright.

sanjayrai55

Girish, are you storing your fingers in the icebox?

sundaram

Two seasoned veterans & RC pilot talking about shivering hands and trembling fingers  :o

;D Why trying to scare youngsters like us  :giggle:

sanjayrai55

Sandy boss: I am an expert in everything RC except flying. I do mean to learn how to fly one of these days!  :rofl:

sundaram

Sir wish you many year of Happy Flying   :hatsoff:

girishsarwal

Hehe, Sanjay sir, yes my hands have kinda been in the ice box since beer took over cookies and candy...lol

Sandy sir, your reply, while funny, is in essence, very motivating...I think the fright is already gone...

sundaram

She is definitely a beauty Sanjay sir. Waiting to see her in the air.
