Didn't get how to do it???
Can someone pls explain

Its pretty straight forward, there is a hook on each wing and a rubber band on the hooks keep the wings pulled together.

Wat about the balsa pieces???

Balsa pieces form hook for the rubber band.

Got it...
Just a small thing.. wat is the dowel on the fuselage for...
The balsa pieces are to be glued to each wing and joined together using rubber bands...Got it!
Should the rubber bands be mounted through the fuselage mounting dowel!

The dowel is just to hold the rubber band while you are mounting the wing. What you do is first you put the rubber band on the dowel through the wing saddle, the rubber band now stretches from dowel on one side to other. Now you mount your wings and move the rubber band from the dowel to the wing-hook, one side at a time. You see its just to make the process simpler, other wise you'll have to fish the rubber band through the wing saddle after you mount one wing

Hats off 2 u sir   
Thx a ton 

Any ideas where i can get solid carbon fibre rod for skysurfer.
The original rod gave away pretty soon...

see my basic aerodynamics thread, conventional thrust drag line is a nose up couple, ( http://www.rcindia.org/rc-general-topics/basic-aerodynamics-for-rc-flying/msg58078/#msg58078 ) whereas Sky Surfer/easy star/easy star II/ Shikra like aeroplane which has high mounted engine has a reversed thrust drag couple, i.e on opening power they will go nose down, at take off this couple could be more than what elevator can handle owing to low forward speed, at launch , therefore power should be just enough for launch and slowly open power, if you launch with full power she might slam the ground.

Now I understand why my EasyStar 2 pitches down when full-throttle is opened. However, this was not the case in Sky Surfer. Could it be because the motor in Sky Surfer was not powerful enough or the propeller was not big enough. In Easy Star, the propeller is 7x6 whereas in Sky Surfer it's 5x5.

If you notice engine pod to boom distance of a Easy Star II is more which means, for a given thrust and drag he couple of nose down force will be more. bottom line is toss should be at power just enough or slightly less at the time of toss, slowly increasing power as the speed increases

Thank you Augustine sir!

Is it a short coming of Easy Star II or does it have any benefits?

The wings of the aircraft dont lock well and come off.

Here's what I had done to secure the wings... In addition, as extra precaution, I also used to tape each wing to the fuselage using a piece of fiber glass tape. Why take risk? That way, I never encountered any episode of wing coming of in the flight.

..does it have any benefits?

You could put a longer prop without hitting the boom 6in prop in easy star I clears the boom by cats whiskers. easystar II i heard takes a 7" prop

Does any 1 has a spare prop of sky surfer as i happened to break it today and rcbazaar doesn't have the spare props available with them anymore .Checked in some LHS but i guess none of them stock 5x5 prop

hi chintu.. if you could wait for another week or so as we expect the customs to clear our shipment by this time ......................... hopefully

regards

i happened to break it today

break a 5X5 pusher prop....?? on a plane  like skysurfer...?? please tell us  how did u manage to do that ..??


just curious,  was it a crash or manhandled...??
or may be  on some other plane.. 

u can put 6x4 also

Well vishwa its strange but true while taking of my sky surfer the canopy came out all of a sudden( the reason might be overstuffing of the fueslage) hitting the propeller and breaking it.I guess everyday is a new learning experience in Rcfield learnt now to keep spare props even for a pusher plane

akky & Chintu
you cant and shouldn't put 6x4 prop with the stock motor for a 3S lipo

Wouldn't a slight change in thrustline help?

theoretically it will compensate only for one throttle setting, above and below that there will pitch variation. in fact when flying these aeroplanes, it is clearly noticeable, the moment you cut throttle she attains a nose down attitude and two jabs of up trim is required

I happened to receive PM from RCDhamaka for availability of the required 5 x 5 prop with them and they were quite quick to send me 1 immediately, again hats off to Rcdhamaka for showing such promptness and not making my flying suffer

can you please explain how did you know expo rates etc, are those supposed to be 3 sets of settings?
