Seeing Sanjay Sir's speed finally decided let me catch up.

RC Wife's are getting too good now a days. Seeing the dire straits of father and son was very kind enough to subscribe the Newspaper again for a month so that I don't have to borrow or steel and now I have the supply for date formalities.

Nice! Seems a good trainer, nose gear, flat bottom wing. 37.5" park flier - handy size for low winds. Easy wing - 2 spars. Should be a lot of fun

Plus that legendary Sig quality :D

Absolutely Sanjay Sir. One more model for my Cox Engine.  ;D

I will be adding additional reinforcement to the firewall for the engine and the wing by an small strip of balsa sheeting.

Progress on Wing today. It does not come with aileron but I am planning to add one and further modify the wing tip too thereby slightly increasing the wing area.

Thanks Gusty. Thanks Sanjay Sir.

Ailerons added and Engine test run done once. Its ready for maiden Gusty. I wonder how am I going to save it for you from the rat here till 25th. He is head over heels for getting it airborne. We would have done it today being a holiday. I wanted to do one more engine run on ground.

Maiden flight done successfully. CG was spot on where expected. This is the oldest engine of my lot. Recently was added with a new glow plug was fired up after a long break for the second time after first on ground run.

1 oz plastic tank gave full 12 Minutes of flight time.
(http://coxengines.ca/images/P/cox%20049%20-%201%20oz%20fuel%20tank%20-%20flex%20version%202.jpg)

The reed of the Engine was still not behaving today also for the second time and the engine was firing away very inconsistently. However not willing to go back and strip the engine to clean it just went ahead and gave it a shot.

Inspite of being very windy results proved to be very good.

Very stable and solid  {:)} {:)}

Just like the builder/flier  :salute: :salute:  ;)

Enjoyed Param's commentary too  :giggle:

What %age nitro?

Post by: sundaram on April 14, 2014, 10:13:51 AM
Sanjay Sir Thank you very much.  :hatsoff:

In the complete 12 Min of video censure deletion was mostly Param's Commentary  :giggle:. Now that he has started flying he avoids taking video. You have to really push him for it. Being long he was getting really restless at the end. Next time I am planning to put a tape on his mouth while taking a shot  :giggle: :giggle:


Nitro is 8%. Same fuel used in Idol too. I do have a fresh 20% Mix made recently. Will try with it some day.
