Hello,I almost broke my wilga 2000 plane due to many crashes.cowl, landing gear, fuselage etc.all the electronics are good.no damage.is there any arf plane available in india to put all the electronics from wilga? Here are the Specification:
● Wingspan: 37.4in(950mm)
● Length: 26.69in(678mm)
● Flying weight: 12.7oz(360g)
● ESC: 15A Brushless
● Servos: 8g*1; 6g*3 Speed micro servos
● Motor: Brushless 2226/2300KV
● Battery: 7.4V 1100mAh 15C

Hello,
If you are confident of your flying skills then you can go for:
http://www.rcbazaar.com/category/172-build-it-yourself-rc-models.aspx (http://www.rcbazaar.com/category/172-build-it-yourself-rc-models.aspx)
Otherwise try repairing your model or build another one for yourself.

Thanks.i am looking for a foamy.balsa is difficult to repair.planes I make may be fragile.wanted something like a skysurfer which can withstand crashes!

Correctly said.. balsa is very difficult to repair...

I think you can go for these models:
http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_46&products_id=906 (http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_46&products_id=906)
http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_46&products_id=664 (http://www.rcdhamaka.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=3_46&products_id=664)

Utkarsh - both are sold out ... at-least see before suggesting ..... And they are sold out since ages!!!

 ;D ;D Sir he hasn't mentioned when he needs the models ;). So, he could wait for sometime to get them restocked. I hope easy star would be soon restocked in a few days, as got to know from a source.

You could try this: http://www.muav.in/?wpsc-product=rcforall-shikra-with-air-frame-and-propeller (http://www.muav.in/?wpsc-product=rcforall-shikra-with-air-frame-and-propeller)
Very crash resistant.

Ashim.

I am not in a Hurry.ill Wait for some time :)

Thanks Ashim :bow:

Hi Kiran

My suggestion is to scratch build one out of foam. Depron or similar can be used. Much easier to repair and quite inexpensive if you have the time.

Cheers
Kodava

Thanks Kodava :)

Kiran

 :iagree: with Kodava

Hi Kiran

If you need help with the foamies, call me on 98451 49783. I am in Bangalore.

Both of you are from same city. It is always exciting working together with someone with same interest...

Thanks again. :hatsoff: If I need help, I will contact u sir.

There is a Bixler in Ebay.in for 8999rs
And Shikira in rc4all.co.in for around 3000 rs.

He doesnt wants to change the elecs so the planes you have mentioned wont be of help

as the electronics are used and in good condition.....

I would suggest to scratch build a model.... ;D

Scratch building is more fun than ARF or RTF...:P

@kiran rc
Try building something like this.
24" span, 6" chord, 5mm biofoam, Donkey combo motor+10a ESC, 2s 1300mah lipo, 280gms.
3mm CF tube spars, dihedral braces 3" of cycle spoke. Two channel, rudder & elevator.
Wing halves held together with cellotape. Hinges are tape.

Inexpensive. Slow flyer. Hand launch and catch while landing. Even rcpilotacro was surprised.

thanks kk lyer.now ill go with scratch build :hatsoff:

@kiran rc
You may have seen this 18 sec clip i posted some 6 months back. Proof that she flies, easily.

Edit
2 new short clips in my new thread 'Old Timers Zone'

@Kkiyer sir thats the whole point he doesnt want to change the elecs but use the same. If he can change the elecs he can surely go for your one.

@rcrcnitesh
Just a sample of what he can build, using his existing electronics.

KK Iyer Sir, can you show the profile of this foamie -- the top wing mount looks interesting, can I have some details on it,

I have a 2812 motor and 2200 mah Lipo, would they be suitable for something like this?

@mks
Profile pic attached.
Tailplane and thrust line zero zero.
Wing incidence 5mm in 150mm, or 1 in 30, or about +2 degrees.
Both wings same incidence, (though top wing should preferable have slightly more so that it stalls before the bottom wing...)
Top wing staggered 1" ahead of bottom wing.
Each wing 24"x6".
Top wing LE to motor mount 4". Top wing TE to tailplane LE 10".
Tailplane 12"x4" incl 1"elevator. Fin approx 4"x4".
3mm CF tube spars. Dihedral braces 3" pieces of cycle spoke.
Weights: 2s 1300mah 70g, motor+esc+prop 50g, Rx+2 servos+wheels, pushrods etc 35g.
Bare airframe 125g. AUW 280g. Wing loading <5oz/sqft.
Needs only 3amps or 25watts.
2812 motor too much, 2200 lipo too heavy (180g?)
Trust you find this useful.
Regards

Thanks for the specs..

yes it seems my 2812 motor and 2200 lipo would be heavy for this ..

but still might pickup the design to come-out with something slightly bigger..
Thanks a lot :)

@mks
Try 1.5 times linear size.
Area will be 2.25 times.
Could support 6-700gms.
Use 8mm biofoam.
Let me know if you do.
Regards.

Dear Iyer Sir,

I have 1" high density thermocol sheet, I think I would suit for such build.. I am planning to fevicol two layers for fuselage (don't have any idea of sourcing bio-foam here in Delhi)
wing spar has to be added for strengthening 1" thermocol ?!? have my doubts but certainly would apply 2" clear tape on wing bottom for support..
another thing.. even after sanding thermocol the surface does not become smooth enough.. will google some ways to putty and paint on thermocol..
:)
will try..
thanks a lot Sir,

@mks
Make a hot wire foam cutter like this.
I use my car battery for power.

Many flyers in Delhi. Locate on this forum and contact for biofoam source.

@mks
See this thread for well finished thermocol wing.
