An honest failed attempt is also a worthy attempt!

Self-designed was never really meant for regular RC crafts, it was more for electronics tinkering, things like self designed TX-RX, robotic stuff etc.  For RC crafts, please specify in the topic name if your build is self-designed.

Hi everyone,
First i thought better wait for test flight before posting build log.
Then i thought what if it breaks on test flight?
Won't have anything to show.
So posting my build without proof of the pudding!

The background is like this.
Material available 2 sheets of balsa 3x36, one 1/16, the other 3/16. And one 3mm CF tube.
With this you can only build chucks.
But i was already getting tired of chucks. See pic.

K K Iyer

The time had come to explore this TLG/DLG business.
Complete with Y tail and adjustable incidence.
So built this.

K K Iyer

Nothing great in the build log pics.
The real story is in my thought process as i envisaged this project. But i'll save that for the end, just before someone asks me where i got the plans from...

Back to pics.
Sanding down the trailing edge.
Leading edge reinforcement. Called bass/spruce etc in Englis, but in desi bhasha i know them as Jhadoo ki teeli.
Grooving the LE.
Bending the teeli. Not easy. Springs back on removing finger. (My super glue is stale)

K K Iyer

Wing completed. Finish with epoxy? How much weight will it add? Could not estimate. Hence epoxy finish deferred for the present.
Tail parts completed.
Tail weight
Wing weight.
