Fimple! Berry fimple - tee hee hee

LOL 

VC is getting younger day by day instead of gettin older...
Have to invent a new word for VC's ability to get young "Reverse VCmysis"

ok guys!
I am getting a 11.1V 3c 2200mAh Lipo and a charger both Turnigy for around 1600INR from a pal of mine as he does not need it.
Is it worth?
He has a 40-60 sized Brushless motor and a 60 A ESC too but I said I don't need that.

Let me know members!

Today guys!
Yet again...my gate pass expired so these are the things I did all morning:
1. Sanded the fuselage and got the tear drop on the canopy.(almost)I think this is enough as I can make it more realistic after painting and detailing ( what say VC bhai)
2. Used my home made control horns on the rudder and elevator and they fit good and work alright.
3. Made place for the battery and servos, will cut out the exact place for the servos as soon as they arrive, probably by next week.
3. Made the nose assembly out of a shower gel bottle(I finally used it somewhere )

That's it members, pictures follow.

Some more pictures!!

The 3rd and the 4th pictures are of the nose section...

Nose section progress...

Getting there Buddy and looking great! Love the shower gel nose - Wattan idea Sirjee!

Hehehe!
Thanks VC...Atlast I made some use of that shower gel bottle..
I am so anxious to get my servos, but salary has still not arrived  well once its in my account, I will start assembling her and painting the bird.
What is the best material to use in place of piano wires?
I have some umbrella rods and some cloth hangers 
And will this setup be OK?

thanks Rajath!
Will keep you guys posted of any progress made on any of my pending birds..

Looking Great, Great Job

Truly brilliant, great job.

Thank you Rohit and Manoj!   

Today, finished the canopy, I was wondering if I needed to use a petg bottle for this, but realized that it would be a hard task. Last night made a transparent canopy but the gluing and sanding made it look weird!
So, finally today thought of another idea. I cut the whole canopy section from the fuselage and made it as one separate piece, so as I can mount and unmount the electronics anytime..
Finished with the ailerons, everything is almost ready, just need to dry fit her once and balance the wings!
Salary is still 2 days away    so here goes!

some pictures with the canopy section completely detached from the fuse, a dry fit picture and the whole 9 yards disassembled..

Sanded the canopy section carefully to get the "seat" looks good! feeling better....

some more pictures..

the whole 9 yards... 

Wonderful build. Very refreshing to see the build pics.

I think the control surfaces are a bit fat than what they should have been. You would need more than the normal airspeed/power to fly this model. Further, the fat surfaces will produce more drag and the model would reach stall speed easily. But I am sure you would love this model. Nothing like building your own model and flying it.

-Ismail

Thanks Ismail,
As everything is scratch built, one needs comments like these to progress to perfection...
the wings will be sanded more, as I have now reinforced the wings with kebab skewers, and am confident that they wont break..
Once the servos arrive, will post better looking pics..

-Dorwin

Getting there.....................

Hello guys,

I had asked this question yesterday, but no one answered, maybe I should have opened up a new thread.
Ok, here goes.
My Mustang without electronics is approx. 230gms.
I am assuming that the following would be the electronics weight
Mustang   = 230gms
Battery    = 150gms
ESC        = 40gms
4xservos  = 4x9=36~40gms
Receiver   = 50gms
wires and rods = 30gms

Total= 540gms~570gms

Now this is the option I have,

http://q8xtremehobby.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_37&products_id=139
http://q8xtremehobby.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=22_38&products_id=143

Will this setup be suitable on the Mustang ? or do I need a higher power option?

Please shoot your answers so I can proceed with the build

This is a common configuration, all you need is a Y cable.  No need for any V-Tail mixing, unless I totally missed the point.

Great effort

Thanks Anwar, shes coming out good!
I suppose you missed the point Anwar.
What I need is to know if this configuration is "OK" for the plane to fly at a good speed?
I have no experience with these motors, so just confused.

-Dorwin

it seems good but the only thing not mentioned is the prop
what prop you want to put on it?
the servos are good and are only 7.8g(as listed by the site)
and the speed controller seems good
the motor is good but the commenting will only stop when you tell which prop you will use!

Hey Prateek, thinking of putting on 8x4 prop!

which battery?
