Hey there... :help:
I'm a beginner into the RC world. so this question might seem dumb but that's all i've got...
I've read a few articles and some forum answers about wing cube loading or wing volume loading.
but I'm unable to feel the thing, like how it actually works... :banghead:
Can Anyone make me feel how actually wing cube Loading works
with a few examples, it would be awesome.  :hatsoff:
Thanks.

Perhaps you meant Hi (like hello) instead of Hey (like Abey Oye, a rude way to address, in Hindi)

Will give a specific answer if you mention the AUW and wing area of your model(s)

But a broad answer is that it's an indicator of how easy or hard it'll be to fly.

If you're really interested, I have data.
Please post pics and details of your model(s)...
Else it's a fishing expedition with lots of answers available online
Regards

With Due Respect I did not mean to offend.
I was just trying to say Hi. and I'm extremely sorry if you felt it that way. (I'll avoid that type of things in the future. )

BTW
this is my first one with corosheet.
and i haven't yet started building it. so I cannot give any exact values.
I'm just trying to learn some things in depth while the material ships... (i think I've learnt a bit for building one. but i dont think it is sufficient to understand things properly.)

if you want an example,
my first one with Balsa
AUW: 900gm approx.
Span: 80cm
chord: 35cm

Thanks for the most decent response I've had in years.

If you are building in coro, first see the dozens of builds posted on this forum by sanjayrai55, a real coro master...

If you are a newbie, building your first model, you'll have more problems than cube loading...

I'm at your service, to the best of my abilities, for
1. Real problems with you models
2. Theory!

And for any help, if you share what equipment you have, and what you plan to build.
Regards

32" x 14" ?
Doesn't seem right?

TunerX_98

yes it is a bit low aspect ratio.
then I learned what type of dimensions should be considered.
But then it flew okay. i couldn't tell the difference between flying good and flying bad since it is my first one, i felt it okay and controllable.

WCL can be easily calculated, and an explanation is also appended here:

As Iyer sir said, I've built a few Corro models. The general perception is they are ugly, excessively heavy, and don't fly well. I beg to differ

Have a look:  http://www.rcindia.org/rc-people/builds-i-have-posted-on-rci/

Go ahead and build in Corro. It may take a couple of tries to master the techniques, but that's the fun part! I would suggest that you stick with some proven designs initially, to fit your budget and skills. Don't aim too high initially, get a feel of building with Corro, and understanding flight characteristics of your model, and how these may vary with changes in the build
