This is the second kit we are building for the Sweep stakes'

This is Laser cut stick from Hobby king' we are using AP 0.15 Glow Engine for the same.

Now for the formalitis

LASER CUT STICK http://www.hobbyking.com/hobbyking/store/__29648__Big_Stick_Laser_Cut_Balsa_Kit_1060mm_Kit_.html

All the best Param & Sandy. Should be a very interesting build, especially from my experience with elerc.com's instructions

Despite all that, the models are lovely, and great fun to build

Build Progress of this Sunday on the laser stick.



Like any good scratch builder parts separated from the sheets of Balsa and lite ply and the usable scraps of both Balsa and Lite ply collected separately for future use. 

All set now! I'm still jealous of your green rubber mat

Sir green Mat is the recent acquisitions from I2CGlobal  ebay.in after your encouragement on VC's thread.  

Isn't that so obvious from the pad my son is using above the green mat to cut out parts.   

With the experience of Idol Laser build under our belt, build of this one was on fast forward mode. Even my son knew before how it has to progress and he was ready with the parts even before you could ask him are tell him.

Some more build photos.

Fuse and tail feathers assembled.


Wing ribs assembled

Probable location for the fuel tank

Great! Really taking shape fast. Any dihedral? The reason I ask is I have the same kit from RCB

Transom does not have the slot cut for the ribs by design for a dihedral, though you can easily give dihedral  by fitting the inner most rib at an angle. The wing joiner provided is straight and not at an angle for a dihedral and a new one has to be fabricated to provide a dihedral. Any how the one provided is over sized and would not go in the slot in the ribs, so perforce I am cutting out a fresh one to the size from the left over scraps of lite ply.

Though this was supposedly with ailerons it is not already pre-cut in the parts. One has to cut out the aileron from the trailing edge after the trailing edge spacer. The space on the fuse for mounting the wings provided is there only for a wing cut without the aileron in the middle. So even if one decides to go without the aileron cut out, inner two ribs trailing edge have to be cut any how to accommodate the wings on the fuse.

Some more Progress on the model.

Wing joined together


This wing wants to take to air already  
Earlier it was kept like this on the wall.


On a gust of wind it just took off from here and glided partially and landed on one corner and already got one beauty spot.  

Glider wing

Why Gusty you wanted a swastik on it?  

The Top surface is not yet covered it is going to be Blood red with Swastik.

Now a days My colour scheme are mostly done keeping your flying in mind you know why   

By tomorrow the stick should be ready.

some more build progress.
The wing fully covered hinged and the tail feathers covered and hinged.

The engine mounts fabricated with lite ply


The fit of the entire setup for CG check

Balance what is left are

1.    Servo for the throttle.
2.    placement of the fuel tank.
3.    covering of the nose.
4.    covering of the fuse.

With the fuel tank installed and filled, will you need to add weight in the rer ar to get the proper CG?

Nice build .........

Thanks

@theleabres

I was also doubting the same, since the Engine with exaust at the rear was mounted slightly ahead. However the CG with Dry  Fuel tank In front is at 30% without the battery . If I mount the tank at CG and bty slightly behind it is still tail heavy. hoping the throttle servo right in front might  compensate

A really nice father-son build..great stuff..a video will be great..all the best..

Thanks Atul Video follows

It was finally completed yesterday

Good one   

Thanks

Its AUW is 820 gms with Full Tank and 2S Lipo. The CG is at 30% Chord.

  nice build
