Hey guys, I cant put in words how happy I am! After 7 years of sitting in my cupboard my equipment was put to good use.. This is my first plane and my first time flying! I cant believe I actually managed to hand launch it, fly it and land it in one piece! Thank you for all your support!

Oh and she flies beautifully! Slightly tail heavy but I managed to give some down elevator trim and control it.. Next time I'll move the CG further forwards.. Also had to give a little right rudder trim but will fix that using the adjustable servo connectors before the next flight.. Thanks Prateek for the video.. if you weren't there I don't think I would've had the courage to try and fly..

 :salute: Goan flyers just passed the "Wright Brothers" stage  :thumbsup:
Awesome built, awesome flight and an awesome entourage of fellow hobbyists!
Looked like "Fellowship of the Plane" :giggle:
Congratulations Aneesh, Prateek and RC!
You guys have really brought meanings to words like  "helpful" and "determination"
I just wish I was there to see her fly and shout along with Prateek  :giggle:

Thanks Dorwin! No need to come all the way.. We can hear you shouting from here ;)
We flew at Nagalli Hills.. But Goa University ground is much better.. We could not fly there as its become slushy due to rain..

What do you think about the flight? Initially after takeoff it was trying to go upwards and to the left.. But then it became super stable after I trimmed it.. When I did the overhead pass, the plane was pretty much flying itself..

Nitro model is ready.. just needs fuel.. and a spinner.. :thumbsup:

Hey guys, can you suggest some colour schemes for the glidiator? I have decided to colour it so as to aid visibility..

try some cool decals like this-
and also the stickers you got from HK.
colours like light red and blue are good!

I wasn't talkin about decals.. I wanted suggestions for the overall colour scheme of the plane.. The all white body + wing tends to blend into the sky.. suggestions anyone??

Aneesh!
Why don't you camo paint it?  :giggle: :giggle: :giggle:
All my planes and helis are always camo...hehehehe...I don't know why I do that but, just like the paint!!

and for for decals you do not have to go anywhere and not hobbyking atleast...
just go to Panjim, near Kundaikar nagar, there is a vinyl printing and cutting shop,
Just ask anyone where RDL is..
Its just above neeta sarees...
They do machine cutting vinyls and reflector tape cuttings, very very cheap..
