Hi all,

I had an oppurtunity to meet Ujjwana(Ujjwal) on 19 of this month, he invited me to his house & then he displayed all the electronics & the model what he has.

I was very much impressed by the KESL model what he had built & i decided to make one.

I had some 4mm depron left with me, so i decided to make a 32" model, with the help of Ujjwal i started the model on 20 of this month and worked for about two hours daily, i have almost completed the model, without Ujjwal's help i wouldn't have done all this, as this is "MY FIRST DEPRON MODEL". i troubled Ujjwal everyday by calling him and asking him for help & he was alway helpful. Thanks Ujjwal..............    :salute:

Power system:
EMAX CF 2812 (RCD)
1000 mah, 3 cell
8x6 or 8x4 prop
30 amps esc.

Thanks

Almost completed, i have hinged the elevon & glued the fins, i have used 3mm carbon rod to reinforce the depron & used small piece of bass wood between the model on which i have mounted the motor.

I will put sticker on it, just working on it, if anyone has any suggestion regarding the stickering part please post some pics, it would be a great help, as i am very bad at color combination.

planning to color the canopy black.


Thanks

Hey Sharad! Pleasure was mine to visit such 'Balsa Mecca'. Your Guppy and Apple Box has brought my love for woods back (not Tiger Wo...)!!

Well you really baffled me with such a short turnabout!! I took around a month to complete my 18" KESL!

You have done a fabulous job with the 32" ones. Hope to fly the Cousins together some time!

Anwar,
E-Stratos was probably the first RC Foamie 'Flywing' made way back in 1960's. See the first pic in the below link

The first one (Estratos) is not the kind of "wing" I was referring to.  The second one is a wing, but again it has not taken to the skies yet :)
