Thanks Bhavya

hi and thanks bhavya just a doubt 100mm is the size of the fuse or wingspan

need to know the wingspan limit thanks a lot

gearing up for the task

subbu

Hello,

100mm is the total size...the size should not increase more than 100 mm.

hi i did not understand by total size you mean

100mm winspan

and

100mm fuselage length

also it has to radio controlled for the powered category

subbu

i guess he means that the plane should be within the limits of 100x100x100 mm...ie it should fit within a box of that dimension.

yes got it  

and even finished glide testing our possible new design (i am in a team with sandeep uncle)

it was so small smaller than most pens and it glided superbly we also have all the electronics we need so just a matter of time to put it together

subbu

Is anyone from rci going for this event. Since my house is like 15 mins from IIT i will most probably be there either competing or just watching..will try to get the event on cam.

ohh.. saw this thread today!!!! though i dont have any experience in building one, i'll surely come to see, experience and meet u all..

Hi Subbu, Sandeep(pm?) best luck for ur glider...

Btw, do they require it to be R/C or free flyer?

It can be a powered plane with no radio control also ie powered free flight mav.
