Hello Everyone,
This is my first post here. I'm an engineering student and was introduced to this hobby by one of the seniors of my college. After going through several threads here which are for beginners and learning on many online websites I'd gathered a basic knowledge of building and flying RC models. My simulator training is still going under the guidance of my senior. I hope very soon  I'll be flying my first model, most probably a slowstick.
Today, I got my kit from www.vortex-rc.com. It is a VT-Allrounder with Intermediate wing. I'm very excited to build this model. I'll have to say it was a wonderful experience dealing with Vortex-RC. The best thing about the kit is that it includes everything required by a newbie for building a RC model. I'd been through build videos and manuals available for this model. Everything is explained in detail and highly illustrative with figures etc. In my opinion products available on Vortex-RC are good for all beginners like me and other flyers too. I'm planning to complete this build by this weekend. Will keep on updating about progress.

Got a worried pm from Sushant asking 'Any mistake, sir?'

Not at all.
No problem with guys for whom the language is new.
Just a little tired of educated people using lowbrow stuff like 'wanna', 'gotta' etc thinking it is fashionable.

Super ! I hope you enjoyed the build. Its great when you can convert a sheet of coro to a proper fuselage and you dont need to worry about dimenstions, fitting etc..

Keep it going.. Look forward to see the rest of the build too !

So, finally construction part of VT-Allrounder is completed. Glued the wing base adaptors. It needed a little trim near trailing edge. Also, checked all trims. Everything seems to be fine. CG perfect.
Maiden flight tomorrow 5AM. Lets keep our fingers crossed.

Sushant,

1. Thanks for taking the time to do the build thread here and posting pictures.
2. Your build looks very neat and good
3. The only slight devation from the manual I see is how you have glued in the dihedral braces. I see that you glued all three braces on the top, when it was designed to have the the 2 big ones to be glued - one on top of the wing and the other on bottom. Should be OK, with what you did though too.
4. Any comments for the manual ? Any edits or overlooks you might have come across so we can improve ?

5. Lastly, hope you had a good maiden. DO share pictures, and results.

-Gaurav
