Nice :thumbsup:

Wish you had routed the motor to ESC connections below the fuse, to "keep the face clean" 8-)

Thanks for the suggestion Anwar, Your wish will come true tomorrow, i will route wire inside the mono block itself.
i have noticed just now in the pic. that the wing dihedral is lost due to pressure of rubber band. i have to put wing struts to give a perfect dihedral.

STUPIDITY : I have painted / installed and give a small dihedral in wing in opposite direction. the fiber rods are coming on top of the wing instead of bottom.
will do the corrections today and upload the Pics tomorrow.

Ankur,
What ever sources are available in Mumbai, none are having the stock. one says that the stock will be available by 15th only.
