A much delayed start for the sweepstakes, given my lazy backside...
RCB kit for the Stik

Started with the wing...

This kit does not have separate ailerons, but one has to cut after making the wing...

Thank you Sanjay Sir, Sandy Sir's build log, Google and YouTube

Vertical Fin

Fuel or electric?   

My Favorite fun flyer.

Sandy Sir, Electric... for that's what we fly at our field...

I have two .15 and two .30 engines without carbs eating dust... if I find the carbs (and I don't end up breaking this build till then), I'll be happy to convert this to glow

0.15 Glow.    Pretty much docile and aggressive to fly with.

TE LE Fitted

Ailerons cut, TE LE sanded ...on to fuselage now...

The tools of the trade deserve an appearance...

  good progress

Fuse dry fitted.. ready for gluing

Fins being covered... with vinyl followed by heat shrinking

Hurry and finish! I want to crash maiden it 

Feathers covered... Now onto the wing covering...

Sanjay sir, crash or maiden it? Only one is allowed.... 

I'll maiden it. Buy one  (maiden) and get one (crash) free 

some items left in the wing so could not cover... added now...

Servo trays

The kit does not contain a spar, so I passed a Aluminium pipe and used Balsa cement to hold it in place.

Covered the fuselage instead...

Vinyl does not stick like monokote, have to use drops of CA/Fevibond to hold edges... Also the finish is not as good as monokote since vinyl does not shrink very much... but not bad overall given the easy availability, and better durability...Pin sized holes for letting air trapped in bubbles escape while shrinking are absolutely must.

Neat build sir!

Thanks Maahin

Wing ends covered, the middle will be covered with white vinyl to give a two tone look

Servo connectors etc all put into place...

Maiden Maiden Maiden!
Last day approaching. Time to put engineering skills (staying up all night) to use and finishing the plane 

Is that gap planned between wings is by design. Interesting to know what you have planned.

Sandy sir, I measured against the provided wingspan, and then joined the wings aligning with the center line... the gap in between has a Alu spar running through for strength and is now covered by 1mm Balsa ply with reinforcing members inside... Will post pictures before applying final cover...

but the question is why the gap.... are you increasing the WS by few inches ... or you will stick the wings together.

No not increasing the ws... measured against the given spec of 1060 mm and joined the wing.

Here are the pics of the wing wrap and the covering...

Before the final settings on the Rx....
