Girish, I have an easy way of warding off the nazar - make you maiden it  >:D

(If you crash it, you make me a new, improved Honker Bipe  :giggle:)

Wow!
Went through all the pics slowly.
Noticed a lot of fine points.
Wing locating pins, sprung tailwheel leg, quality pushrod linkages at horns, main UC mounted to give a little toe-in, triangular section longerons...
UC legs covered in Monokote - gives a new meaning to wheel pants!
And entire build completed in a single day.  :bow:
All you need now is a pair of symmetrical wings to have a fully aerobatic avatar!

Eagerly await video of maiden flight.

Hey thanks, Iyer sir

Glad you noticed the toe-in.....no one does (except me of course :D)

Used colour tape for the UC legs, not monokote. In fact I normally use Vinyl (The Spadcap, Balsa Piper Cub) but felt lazy  ;D :P

Confession: The build took me a week, @ 3-4 hours per day average  ;) ;D

Next Bipe will be Bucker Jungmeister - the Pilot (OK Model) version  >:D >:D >:D

As to the maiden............. :( :( :-[

Awesome Sanjay Sir!!! Wonderful build. I use Jedelsky wing (foam) for one of my light weight trainers and absolutely love it. Good lift and more because resembles the airfoil of a bird wing.

Eagerly looking forward to the maiden video :)

I normally use the "throttle lock" button on my radio (HiTec Optic 6) when doing this, but was careless

As Girish once remarked, when fiddling, take the prop off  :salute:

sahilkit

oh thats a bad cut, get well soon.

Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

Thanks Neil, I'll be fine ;)
