In my previous video you will notice that the wings bent upwards. So i used support struts (broomstick :D). Made the dihedral better by glueing the wing properly. It has improved bigtime - Here is a video



The max flight time i got was about 1.75 times of whats shown in this video!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! It was dark so the video i took was useless :( :(  I am very impressed - all this for RS.150 :D

Yup i had. I will bring them to your place next time :) We can fly them there :)

Hey... for the weight problem and steep fall thing... you need to have small flaps to give it a drag and also if possible wings should have a little upward lift. I forgot to show you the rubber glider I was talking about.. it does have those flaps and upward wings. It lands like a pro... :)

Was sleepy so i forgot to mention :D To make up for it i shall give you one the model (pic shown). You can try and convert to rc. :) Will bring it next time.

Il have a look at your model and make modifications. It flies beautifully now though, And do you have extra rubber that i can use??

Here is what I am talking about... not sure if you can see from pics :)

Wow that is beautiful, looks like foam.. right? Yeah I have a big band but I dont use it, so if you like you may have it.
I am waiting for my ESC to arrive and its my fault that I ordered them as normal post instead of registered post... it is taking time like hell.
