Then I guess mixing the throttle with elevator would be the ideal solution as it mimics the second option provided by Gusty sir.

Vishal, I'm going to try some different size props first. The mixing option is there always

Practice, and only Practice will make you perfect



Sanjay sir

you could also try conditional mixing, that is mix only after 50% throttle, also with some change in camber (See Glider mix for your radio) 14 MZ and SD10G  has some real cool mixes generally used for slope soaring, could work here

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth



Gusty boss

I will definitely try it. But first I will experiment with props, and maybe some packing under the wing TE

Sorry, I should have posted this before.

I put an ice-cream stick under the TE as packing. I have now done over 30 sorties, and it's fine. Incidence Cheesy

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth



I got the following query by PM from a fellow RCIer, and am answering it here, so others too may give their valuable inputs

""Sir, need your help
I Am building an avispad right now... cannot figure out from spadtothebone.net about how to make the wing...

I am using a flat bottomed aerofoil

Sitting infront with a sheet of coro but cannot make anything... you were online so asked you for help
Please tell me what to do""

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth



My suggestions:

1. See BEX's posts on spadworld.net on the avispad
2. First make the spar
3. Cut the wing per size from the 2 mm corro (careful about the direction of the flutes!)
4. Glue the spar on the wing bottom
5. Cut the Ailerons
6. Glue the Ailerons in
7. Score the Corro on the LE. I use 5 scores: 1 centre, 2 each on each side of the centre with progressively less depth. Gets a perfectly rounded LE (see spadtothebone.net on how to score corro. Practise on some scrap corro first - both with & at right angles to the flutes)
8. Test fit it
9 Glue
10. Make a wing wrap.
11. Glue the wing wrap

Easy-peasey!!

Understand how it is to be done, get all your materials ready, it takes 1 to 1.5 hours Cheesy

Before you ask: I use SR 998 on Corro. First I prepare the surface by light sanding and a little rub with thinner (when corro comes from manufacture, it has silicon oil on it, used as a mold release agent, and that will prevent glue from bonding fully) I find the advantage of SR is you wait till it is tacky, then press the surfaces together and it holds. No need for clamping. Many people prefer cyano....I don't

Many thanks Rai Shabh for the awesome funflying today morning; enjoyed so much after so long. Will try and bring my 'repair awaiting' beauties to your place asap and will start flying soon. Thanks Girish for dropping me to service station. It took another 3 hrs for him to find the fault in car.

Great beginning of  day made a great Sunday today.  Thumbs Up Thumbs Up Saurabh Next time hope to see you too Smiley

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth



I received the following query in a PM. As many ask me the same question, I'm replying here

"whats the difference in a spad and avispad?

where can i have a look at the original plans i know there are many discussions but not sure if they have the original plan "

1. SPAD is an acronym of Simple Plastic Aircraft Designs. The original site is spadtothebone.net
Spads have set off their own cult. You could have a look at spadworld.net, and there are many links on the spadtothebone site too.
2. An Avispad is a Spad based on the famous Avistar Trainer. In fact, it is just a scaled down version of the Spadet on sttb. Similarly you have Corrocub (Cub) Spadet (Sig Kadet) Spadstick (Das Ugly Stik) etc.
3. Avispad plans are referred in Post # 3 above

Hope this helps; feel free to ask any more too Cheesy Cheesy

The Avi is a great model. I have done nearly 150 flights on mine, done all sorts of crazy things, and it still goes on! Build it with a semi-symmetrical airfoil, and it will fly inverted all day long. Put a 3536/1500 KV motor, and you have a rocket! Can hover it, snap rolls, the works.

Yet it is a perfect trainer, with docile flying characteristics, cheap and fast to build, and lots and lots of fun all round  Cool Cool
