Unfortunately the video is....well, bad  ;D

But had a successful maiden, just needed a fair amount of trims, mostly up elevator, and a little left aileron.

Will try and get a better video next time

Hi Sanjay,

Can you help us on which glue to use while sticking coro to coro and coro to wood ?.
You use epoxy or cyno to glue coro, having hard time gluing coro  :'( with cyno.

And i have noticed you use lots of balsa while construction can you elaborate on this ?.

Do you follow the SPAD site instructions? clean-blow torch-water spray one side and then cyno glue ?

may be some sample picture or a video would really help  :). Started flying from today, found nice field and group but sadly my flylite crashed (mid-air wing snap while doing fast loop). I want to build a glow trainer 4ch with coro hence...................

Thanks
Sahil

Today might be a great and wonderful day. It depends on you.

Thanks will check them out. Gluing method is same for all your builds?. Did you ever experience glue failure and how did you correct?.

Never experienced a gluing failure

In fact, my first build, the SPAD Debonair, was only recently retired after many many years

I had given it to a friend who has a passion for trees ( :rofl: ) and he took it full speed into the trees many times. Finally, it died of old age  ;)

Thanks again SR998-NC thinner-sanding, you still have avispad trainer. Hope your adhesive luck follows me  ;).

Oh sure it will  ;D

I gave away the Avispad some years ago. In fact, in the last coupleof years I have given away more models than I remember  :D :D

On butt joints eg Vertical stab to horizontal stab, or wherever you have a 90 degree joint, do either

a) Use hot glue
b) Stick a piece of balsa (square or preferably triangular) and with cyano glue the corro onto the balsa. Same surface preparation, any thin cyano works fine, although the ones meant for corro (Flex Kwik any Flex ***) give a stronger bond
