One more question.. How do you reinforce your landing gear area? I always have tough time with my landing gears. Thermocol would not sustain high stress.. curious to know how you managed it.

The cockpit area is reinforce Inside with Balsa or plywood then Landing gear  area is again reinforce outside with Plywood.

Here is a video of some Thermocol Glow plane from Mizoram

Nice video

thank you

Great build man... Nice video too.

Did I say ..... Lovely???

I am surprise !!! and so happy that RC friends appreciate and support our work, we need to learn so much more from you, Long live RCindia.org

how could you install an engine in a themocol  model. According to me the thermocol will melt due to the engine's heat.

Hi, Manu

The engine is mounted well out of thermocol, the cockpit area and the firewall is reinforce inside with plywood/balsa, engine mounting is being  mount on the firewall, please see the photo, I do not have a closeup view, but this might give you an idea.

wonderful awesome.u deserve a great applause .. good work. will u accept me as a student if yes please tell me the step by step procedure for this plane.. i will try to make it......

@zonuna

Very great build I was searching airplane build from packing thermocol and what I see glow engine on full size airplane build from thermocol
Amazing

Zonuna.... that's a wonderful looking model...
Best Wishes.

Thanks wingmanbunty  and shobhit17

The model you see on the video was build 5 years back and is still flying today, the scarcity of materials like balsa and other light materials forces us to use Thermocol but normal packing thermos are too loose so we end up on using a Thermo use for packing Fish (Fish box ... ).

Nowadays nearly all scratch build plane amongst us electric or glow (our rc Association aka. Mizoram Aeromodellers Association .(MAA) are build using thermocole

I am sharing out latest Highwing Thermo project called BIG MAA powered by 57cc DLE Gas

Excellent models and too from foam...  Just too good.. The whole forum would be benefited if you could post a build log and details of re-enforcements and covering used..

Great Models Zonuna.........

@zonuna
I was searching internet for rc thermocol model this afternoon, I find two people working on thrmocol I visit the link and what i found is  glow engine fitted aeromodel

Now what a craftsmanship it is, I even do not dream that thermocol can be use to this level

That Is very inspirational work I found today

All I can say is      to your work.

What beautiful models Zonuna! 

How's your Tiger Moth? When do you get time to fly it with these Juicy Lucys dying to jump into the air?

Zonuna - Wow !!

Beautiful.....

@zonuna sir,
Beautiful. Just look at the windows!
How did you make that neat fillet at the undercarriage/fuselage joint?
And what is that bump a few inches ahead of the starboard u/c leg? Fuel overflow drain?
Lovely airfield too.
Regards.

woaa ... Friends not so fast .. I am posting this on behalf of our RC Association MAA I myself is one of the worse builder, and this so call Big MAA was in fact build by one of our senior member, all helps and suggestions are welcome

now a day doing some research on packing thromocol build just want to know if possible what this hot iron press is doing at this working area

is it used for the finishing the surface or for some bending twisting .....

It's used to close the cells...  Which are left open after sanding...

We sometimes use it for drying up glue (fevicol) after covering
