Maidened it today

Lovely flier - very smooth, no bad habits. Haven't tried any aerobatics yet... ;D but looks like it can do a fair bit  ;)

The engine axis, wing and horizontal stab are approximately in one line (Shoulder Winger)

Query received from a gent via PM

"Sir how many mm coro  u r using for fuse and wings... May I know pls"

Not being familiar with SMS type language I presume he wants to know the corro thickness used

Fuse 5 mm
Horizontal Stab 5 mm (2 layers of 2.5 glued together - gives more rigidity than a single 5 mm)
Vertical Stab 4 mm
Wing 2.5 mm
Aileron 5 mm

Thank you Doc Abhishek  :thanks:. Unfortunately I did not take a video, will do so next time

beautiful ....
what is the weight ?

Sir,
You are able to convert even simple designs into exciting models.  :hatsoff:
A lot of newbies, and some of us oldtimers could learn from watching live one of your coro builds!
Could you share details of weight (as Saikat sir asked), wing span, chord, wing loading, power loading data?
That will give us targets to aim for.

As regards sms language, here is an old example that youngsters may not know:
OBBG
TPOG
PKIG.

Regards. Await P51!

Thanks Saikat. The adaptation in Corro worked out a little nose heavy. I added 32 gm lead fishing weights pounded flat and hot-glued in on the tail

Iyer sir....I could not figure out your SMS lingo  :rofl: :rofl:

Actually there are no real rules for my Corro builds. The build techniques are substantially outlined in many of my previous build logs. Some things you have to adapt on the spot - there is a lot of variation in the Corro Quality. The main challenge is in adapting a Balsa Plan to a Corro model. One has to look after the structural integrity with an eye always on weight.

One simple rule: get all your components first:

In this model it was main LG (3 mm alloy ready-made from HK) Tail Wheel Assembly (an Anderson 3 mm wire 40-60 size - bought from RCD about 10 years ago in anticipation of this day  >:D ;D ;D) Engine Mount (GFN) 320 ml Tank (Probir Ganguly - Lotus Hobby; I do however use a filter clunk and Aluminum tubing)) Wheels (HK) Axles (HK) 12 mm balsa (Krunal Gajjar) for spar, std servos for elevator & Rudder, 17 gram MG servos for ailerons, 10 g MG Servo for Throttle, push-rods etc.

Then build around these. I used 5 mm corro for fuse, 2.5 mm wing, 5 mm aileron, 2.5 doubled for horizontal & vertical stab. Strictly try to follow all external dimensions, thrust lines and angles. Respect the designer - Matsumoto, Joe Bridi, Hal deBolt - these are my favourites of that era.

And most importantly, have fun!!
