wanted  (USED /2 nd hand )bixler or skysurfer  or  any pusher rc plane for practising flying . Since i have already incurred lot therefore budget limitations.

Do you have a motor( preferably less weight) , an esc, a servo, a carbon fibre rod , a propeller,Tx Rx and Thermocol / depron , let me know. I might be of help to you .

kamalsahai

yes sir i have all these and have high density therma col but not carbon firbe rod but have balsa sheets

If so ,can  you build a model like this? http://www.rcindia.org/beginners-zone/slowly-thermocol-version/
Dimensions posted in an image. Balance the plane @ one third from LE of wing. Let me know the AUW after construction. This model I chose because it has (inbuilt) protection for propeller( high mounted motor). Start by building the wing. For fuselage, you can cut two similar shaped pieces of thermocol , cover with clear tape, join them by small pieces of thermocol - for that use hot glue, then hold together by sellotape.

Sir if you have time then i am working on making plans of the pusher plane which i am currently flying.
Its also a nice beginner pusher plane which will be very easy to build for you.
It could be made either 3channel or 4 channel .
I am currently on 3 channel . Will post plans in somedays.

@kp, could you please post the elecs you have and the weight of each? I can draw a plan for you, even pusher if you need.

i have emax CF2822 motor and its esc

i can buy also servo

Furhter i have also fst6 radio  

kindly send some simple pusher rc plans for learning rc plane flying

since i am from Chandigarh, here high density thrermacol is available

A simple pusher plane plan is attached. Hand drawn for you ( from the model I made)  Will surely fly. After you build the model, balance the plane at around one third from the leading edge of the wing, keep a little elevator trim, that should give you a smooth hand launch and slow flight. If any doubt, please ask. You may use Balsa stick in the place of CF tube, but strengthen it with few drops of FlexKwik .Do post a pic before your first flight.

Here...But don't cut/ make" windows" ;D if you are using Thermocol , as that would weaken your fuselage .Once you get confidence of getting it into air, you can try all sorts of modifications.

Since the issue with my FS CT6B Tx was sorted out, thought of making another simple beginner pusher plane. And I can't make it not to fly! It is a true beginner plane of AUW 207 gms. Wing span 71 cm. Used Hayin 500 Mah lipo, Avionic 20 amp esc, Flysky Rx, Avionic M1828 2800 KV 16gm motor, GWS 6*5 prop, Two 9gm& 6gm servos, depron, small 3mm CF tube. Pics attached.

It would be great if you explain flight characterstics
especially the typical nose down issue with all pushers .

@VOD, what exactly is that? I never had such an issue ( with the four pusher planes I built so far) . In its runway, the plane runs longer for takeoff, once in air it climbs vertical very fast so that I have to reduce elevator throttle immediately ( may be because it is slightly tail heavy, which I need because of my plan to attach a small camera in front) . And unlike Prabal told in one of his posts, there is no need for fixed elevator trim for a pusher plane.

Okay
that means your plane is a very good handler and hence good for beginner

okay this video explains . Don't give full throttle, that is the key.
