Title: Scratch build EasyStar
Post by: jits on May 01, 2011, 11:28:19 PM
Hey Guys...am totally new to RC flying.....and i am really hooked onto the idea of building my very own scratch build.
I want to build an easy star......wont be easy for a scratch build i suppose......though it seems to be a good design for beginners......

am attaching a picture of the fuselage that i need to cut out.....have drawn this as close as possible to the original.....need to build a hotwire cutter soon....

looking forward to some support during this build.

cheers.

Its  2" thick dense thermocole sheet with 8mm biofoam stuck to both sides for some more thickness and rigidity...

i actually went asking for Styrofoam sheets, and the store keeper said that this dense thermocole sheet is what they also call Styrofoam wonder if that is true....

btw he had these sheets with thickness starting from 1 to 10 inches !

I think that should provide enough strength to fuselage. Best luck for your buiid  :thumbsup:
