Finally managed to finish the Debonair that I started building in Feb 2010. That was even before I had started learning to fly. The project just went on the back burner and was brought back a couple of weeks ago. Here are some photographs. Flying video coming as soon as Raghuveer gets the time to edit it.

Waiting for comments

Not really. Keeping busy with my (new) baby boy at the moment.. Not sure if the build is worth the time... ;-)

Yep Bala, the fuse is full coro. 8mm made into a square tube and then stuck with epoxy.

Nice video, plane looks very stable. The first flight was fun plus the music; it almost had me dancing ;D
Congratulations :thumbsup:

flying doc

@Sun Thank you so much. Music is courtesy Mr. Raghuveer Singh.

A Fun plane to fly and more so during the rains.
