Balsa Kit from RCB - Build Log

Here is the Build Log I had promised Sujju I would upload

The fuse build is fairly straightforward (once you figure out which part is which

)

Re: Balsa Kit from RCB - Build Log

Balsa quality and die cutting quality is good. Wing is built in the normal way, ribs, spars, sheeting

I wasn't too happy with the Dihedral Braces with the kit, so modified them

Re: Balsa Kit from RCB - Build Log

Monokote clone. I've found 2 pices of tape at right angles and a firm yank are the easiest way to remove the backing film Grin

AUW with 2200 mah LiPo and L/G, motor but without monokote was 662 gms. Not bad!

Thanks Sujju & VC. There is a certain purity of aeromodelling when building a balsa kit Thanks

I noticed RCB sold out it's stock of this model. Would love to compare notes with anyone else on this forum who built it.
