You may want to increase the area of your V Tail. It looks a tad small. Does she glide well?

yes VC sir, she glides very well and very slowly,at walking speed. even i dont know why..
i was actually inspired by:

but tail was my choice

Today was maiden... a great day with Bilal  

I added the electronics in the simplest way.. not emphasizing on the looks. Setting CG was a great problem . Battery was added just behind the motor to balance it without adding any dead weight.. it was a success thereafter.

First we took some glide tests, thanks VC sir for "Jhadi Technique" . then we took it on a one storey construction building and chucked it to check the glide..
Glide was nice.

We then tried ROG takeoff, took off and crashed and trimmed model every time. finally it flew like charm.
First pilot was Bilal and then it was me.I flew very well with damaged propellor.

We took videos from mobiles.
Waiting for bilal to edit video. video also has a mystry and a history. the quality may be a bit disappointing

the pic shows the progress after the motor was mounted.

saw bilal's pics....  nice work done...!!

 

Congrats! Glad that the 'Jhaadi" technique worked.  You may want to explain that to the others. Waiting for the video.

Yes the "jhaadi technique"    .. or the "tall grass gliding test" i woud say..

Its just a test to check whether "aall ez well" with your plane before flying..

Jokes apart: I would post the VC sir's exat words.It explains it better.

"learnt a good trick from an experienced flyer:

1. Load your model with ALL electronics.
2. Battery, ESC, Motor, Servo, Receiver, Push rods - EVERYTHING!
3. Calculate and balance the model at CG.
4. Find a field with tall grass.
5. Chuck the model with full weight from shoulder height - flat throw - not at an angle up or down.
6. If the model glides perfectly for a landing into the grass - it will also fly well under power.
7. Now power it up and FLY!

If you see the third diagram on this page, the glide angle should be, ideally, half / three fourth the angle created by the red line to the ground.

My glide angle was different as it was a glider..

Thanks 

The 'experienced flyer' is Saikat at Dufflaghur T.E. Last year at around this time, I had enjoyed his gracious hospitality.

sorry for the delay guys, but since the video was shot in multiple sections on multiple cell phones  , it would take me some time to collect all of them......but video would be up by tomorrow afternoon

meanwhile, have a look

nice plane . . ,

Hello all.. today was another flying session.
have a look at the video.
Special thanks to bilal for recording video. and background commentry

i have no idea about video editing softwares. so its unedited.
just keep the volume low before playing

nice flying... but next time be sure go a little early.. its was too dark.. chance of loosing ur planes....


i liked " UTARIA MAT... POORI BATTERY CHOOSE LIJEA..."...

actually it was windy all day......and by the time the winds died it was already quarter to 6, so we got only about 20min of daylight, thats why the videos are a little dark.........and that was me shouting my lungs out

It was bilal uttering, "poori battery choos lijiye"..

i  need some free video editing software to upload the first attempt videos.. ROG takeoff was all i wanted. First attempt has was all about ROGs.  

I use K-Lite mega codec pack(Free) and TMPG4Exp portable. However TMPG4Exp is not free. But I can help you. However, virtualdub is free.
If you purchase PCI Firewire card of Enter, you will get licensed Ulead video studio on it's CD with key @ < 300/-.

Nice glider .... well built..... what is the material used for coating ...and where it can be found?

the material for covering film is the covering film you get at RCD. Its a bit  much heavier than monocoat and oracover, but serves the purpose.
I really appretiate RCD for selling these stuffs at "value for money" price..

Very well done. Saw the video and found the model to be beautiful and the background chatter hilarious! Persistence pays.

Just use what is provided by the world's richest man

There are versions available for earlier versions of Windows.

If you are on a Mac, just use the iMovie software that comes free/included in Mac OS X.
