Soon   I'm in no hurry

Sir, is the tailplane stiff enough by itself?
Or have you inserted a skewer/ CF rod in the flute?

Pertinent point, Iyer sir

I have had flutter issues before too

What I do ( where feasible) is use 3 mm corro doubled, two sheets glued together with cyano

This renders it stiff enough, but finally will only know in the air. Worked OK on 40 size models till now

The 3 mm corro (actually 2.5 mm) flutes don't have enough room to insert a skewer or sizable CF Rod/tube. The maximum diameter admitted will be < 2 mm

Dear KK Iyer ji,

I used 10mmx5mm thick wooden reaper instead of balsa wood running from nose to tail end in fuselage. It works good.

Dear Sanjayrai ji,

How do you fix the front wheel axle? In the first set of wooden supports or with the engine mount?

I'm not too sure what your question means, but will try anyway:

The engine mount/firewall will only be used for a nose wheel, with a tricycle landing gear

This is a taildragger. The main LG is bolted onto a 8 mm ply plate, which abuts the front former, and is glued to the former and the sides. Further reinforcement is given by two 10 mm pieces of balsa

Just a little cramped, but everything did fit OK

Complete

Very fine! All the best for the maiden

Thanks Girish

wow.. simply elegant,,

Had a very successful maiden

The model flew straight off the runway, with NO trims required!

 The 4 star turned out really fantastic. Needed no trims at all.

Flies absolutely true, smooth and stable. Highly responsive to the controls

Probably one of the best Flying models I've ever built

Did stretch it's legs a fair bit

Loops, rolls, inverted, spin, horizontal loops - the works 

Sir ,
looks factory made. Absolute craftsmanship.
flies great too.

Thanks Manoj. It was really a pleasure​ to fly
