Man... get your facts straight, then argue.

cool buddy... am trying to get it....cuz i had given seminar on these so i had done a lot of research on this...

tryin to justify wat i have got... nt arguing

chill man!

Whoa! A lot has happenned since I last updated the thread... I gess the name is giving the readers a whrong impression... the main idea is not a plane meant for destructive purposes but instead for constructive purposes... the reason its named a UAV is that it  IS unmanned... according to its name, all Rc planes can be caled UAVs... so, I wish to change the name of the thread to

Raspberry-Pi controlled coro trainer...

Hope it gives the right idea....
and nobody has actually responded to my query about the fuselage construction... please help


The query is how to make the fuselage 3d..(for those who have not seen the first page)

Yes Topalle, your thread was hijacked better than an Indian Airlines plane 

Actually your question on the fuse is not too clear 

What I mean to say is that my fuselage is made by joining two pieces of coro with tape as you can see in the picture.... it looks like a piece of plastic and not like a real plane... I want it to  a curved outer surface fpr aerodynamîcs and aeshetics

If you can live with a box shape then its quite easy  Since this would be an experimental platform, I would strongly suggest you go for a plan build. Make something already tested. The spadet and debonair are both great platforms for their light(relatively) wing loading. You can get the plans from:

http://www.spadtothebone.net/freeplans.htm

click on "trainers" and then on the plane of your choice. Build instructions are also there. You just have to hunt around for them a bit. Best of luck!! And sorry for the hijack.

In fact, the popular avispad, of which there are many build threads here, is only a scaled down Spadet for Electric!

"AFMA" (Autonomous Flying Model Aircraft) zindabad.  "UAV" murdabad !

Case closed.

AFMA for ever !!!  

Alright.. please rename the thread AFMA but stop arguing... I started this thread to serve as a build log as well as a thread to get answers for my queries.... I will post updates soon as I got two days holidays and I can work on my plane..

Guys... I have a question... I don't have a big enough piece of coroto make the whole wing with one piece... so, can I use multiple pieces to make the wing? Will it affect the stability or safety of the plane?

Also, I have made the wingspan a lot longer than the fuselage.. is this correct (its twice as long as the plane)

Topalle; you are really venturing into a very high specialised design and technology area. There are no easy answers to your question, and there are too many different parameters affecting, and anyone who tells you different is unqualified to do so.

Please do follow advice given by last rites and read carefully through spadtothebone.net, and spadworld.net  Check out the avispad build logs here. The way forward will show itself to you

Thanks... I have stopped my model and left it for later... I saw the avispad and now I want to build just that... but I don't have big pices of coro so can I use smaller ones and join them?

Fuse must be in a single piece. Same with wing halves. You can join 2 wing halves together

Thanks...

Try and get bigger coro sheets. Joining pieces will give you a lot of grief and extra weight.

Do they sell at stationery shops?

u can build d fuse with 3mm coro...
i have done a coro glider recently and it flies quite well...

Yes I am using 3mm coro but I am only able to get small sheets like A4 size... I want to know where to get larger sheets from....

Contact a sign board maker

The ones who make advertising hoardings etc. You can also buy vinyl sticker sheet from them for decoration

Completed the bottom part of the fuselage...here are a few pics .. and yes... the plane is made from signboarss only... only thing is that I didn't buy them... I just took them from the gates of my and my friend's houses...

the glossy thing in the pictures is tape and the lines are not joints but they are pen line used for marking...
P.S. this is built according to avispad plan.. with slight modification in the tail section

try to find som hardware store whr tey do the sheeting for sheds... tey will hav it... or ask the printer guys who do the printing of no parking sign boards....tey will get it to u
