Hi Saheevan,

Good luck on your new SPAD. Hope every thing goes well.. Do post some pictures and videos of the maiden flight.

Right now, the baton is with Sai and other scratch builders to keep SPADs alive in India.

Nooooooo :o Dont use cycle spokes! THey are heavy! My F-22 raptor had got a very bad crash due to the spokes only! I have built it completely outta spokes as skeleton for themacol!

i said spokes for push rods and you do get different size of cycle spokes too. but i have got a wire i don't know what it is but is so far the best item for push rods and also for building frame

hey ,
I bought some high grade piano wire yesterday , but the main thing that i was looking for was missing i.e. high grade alluminium for landing gear + my Tx package arrived with rx battery charger + servo arms missing !! so now all that has to arrive!

happy flying ,

That looks cool !

BTW, are you going to put landing gears, or do you fly in a nice grassy area ?

Post by: Sahevaan on June 01, 2009, 08:32:17 PM
Thanks for those encouraging words Anwar.

I am planing to make it ROG (with landing gears )

happy flying ,
