Yellow SUBMARINE - a unique name. I think this is the first Kfmu2 plane on RCI. The speed at which you build, we can expect the msiden this weekend.  8-)

A few Mins Ago I was still wondering how Im gonna start in the RC world, but seeing this - "Hell YEAH !! IDK how but im gonna start somewhere so that one day I can make beauties like these !"  ~~ Standing in Awe !  :bow:

Nice build sir, waiting for maiden vid.

@eric you can start with a blubaby 33 or an avispad good beginner planes :thumbsup:
Build planes like feathers rather than tanks, both handle bullets equally well.

@ashok Sir - thanks and apologies ;D for the misleading name - just something to remember my planes.....maiden as soon as I have decided which bird to cull - for servos & CF !!!

@ eric - thank you. Neil's suggestions are apt for beginners. If you are looking for something that will cause you the lowest heart burn in the learning phase, have a look at this: http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/pusher-trainer-for-beginners-bgnr/

you cant go wrong. For simpler build try a KFm2 wing with regular stationary stores 10mm thermocol.

@ Neil....thanks.

@bmblb,
Why lower your established build quality standards?
See PM.

@ Iyer sir....responded to pm.

Started this build in Nov 14 - so some handling fatigue has set in....the plane actually feels/looks better than in the pics.....truth is, I finished this in a rush....

But I am with you....there are a few sore points....like the un equal uc legs, the fin could change or reinforced with cf....please feel free to point out other observations....

....and the kf step needs to reduce by 0.75in, if ail are to be omitted.
