I have the Sig Astro Hog, fitted with a 15 cc Evolution Gas Engine. That is a big model, 72", 3 Kg
Here's it's younger brother
This is a Dancing Wings Laser Cut kit, bought from Ali Express. It cleared Customs without being confiscated ;D but I had to pay a hefty amount of customs duty :'( :'(
54" span, approx. 1.5 Kg flying weight. Plan to put a 35 ASP on it. Will decide whether to use a 35 or 25 when the build nears completion
Originally designed for Electric Power, so I'll be modifying it slightly for Glow

Terrific build, Sanjay !
Really envy your talent.
I, however, did the fuselage cladding after all all the innards (servos, pushrods, batteries, tank, etc) have been fixed. makes my work a bit simpler....
The photos don't show it maybe, but all servos, pushrods, tank, and even engine fitment are done ;D

You can see the throttle, elevator and rudder pushrods here
Yes, it is clear from this photo.
Just looks almost ready to take to the air.... :salute:
Didn't like the balsa used for the elevator. Very heavy, possibly Paulonia wood
Made some lightening holes(https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20200211/66f952e1cd8c76b5cebf1c74e6f7a298.jpg)

good going sanjay sir :thumbsup: :thumbsup:
Thanks Gaurang
The main LG is 4 mm spring steel wire. This fits into wooden blocks which in turn are attached to the wing. The wood being not hard enough, the LG would in time have worked loose. So I drilled through a 4 mm blind nut, and used it

Excellent build , Sanjay !
What engine you are using ?
Sirji,
How I wish you'd come and help refurbish my models.
So that they will also be as pretty as yours.
Regards

When I was in school, around 1969, in the 8th/9th Class, I built a Gnome from India Hobby Centre. The Instructions had a wonderful line, that I still remember
"Now cover you the tips themselves"
After 50 years, I'm still trying to figure that one :rofl: :rofl: :rofl: ;) ;)
