Hi all!  Grin
i finally recieved my cessna 150 40" kit from IHC today! (finally!!)    --- :Rs:1000
here is today's progress...

this is the 1st wing... there was one horrible Rib, R2, which just refused to stick... i tried everything from feviquik to Araldite... finally i got it to hold with a thin coating of fevibond....!

these are the completed wing frames....

the wings are covered with Balsa sheets from the top, with the bottom open... may wrap the whole thing in oracover later....
these are the wings and sheeting...

Next i went around to the fuselage... i wanted to make the nose wheel and rudder move with the same servo, so i had to build a rig to make the nose wheel turn... i had some spare balsa lying around, so using that, i constructed a clamp-y, holder-y-ish, thingy for the wheel.


this is the wheel in the holder, just before gluing the top on to seal it...

and this is the wheel sealed and fitted...

then i constructed the tail fin, the stabilizer, elevator and rudder. still have'nt hinged the control surfaces , or fitted the control horns.
here's the fin and stuff.

that's all for today! after a good nights (morning) sleep, i will finish the rest of the model! Grin Cheesy
right now i am gonna collapse on top of the computer....

what's left
cutting ailerons myself, because the kit is a 3 channel model
sheeting the wings, and joining them
setting up the servo's and other control surfaces...

enjoy!

Yea Shannon... The landing gear is a little high... More so with the wheels... After building if I still find it high, then I'll replace it with a plastic one

DAY 2!

ok.. here is the build log for day 2... Grin

Started of with covering the wing frames, with balsa, and creating ailerons... (because the kit doesnt have ailerons prebuilt....)

http://i45.tinypic.com/2e0uw07.jpg
Cessna 150 Kit Build


after that i went about setting up the servo's, control rods and elevator and rudder....
i only had horns for 2 control surfaces,(came with the kit), so i have still not connected the ailerons to servo's... Sad

this is the Rudder servo:-

http://i45.tinypic.com/5yrw5z.jpg
Cessna 150 Kit Build


...and the same from above...

http://i48.tinypic.com/qqpe6d.jpg
Cessna 150 Kit Build


i powered up the receiver, and connected all the servo's for the first time.... then went around to program and trim each one...
then PROBLEM  Shocked Shocked
one of the servo's wasn't working... i checked it with other channels, but it was refusing to move... didn't buzz or anything... just sat there lifelessly while the other 3 servo's were bouncing about.... i sent a mail to RCB... if i can get it replaced then good... Smiley otherwise Sad

anyways,
this is the completed and covered wing (stamped "wing")


http://i47.tinypic.com/3582u6x.jpg
Cessna 150 Kit Build


underneath the "servo and other electronic stuff bay", i put a little flap, that i can open and close to access the parts... it closes nice and tight Grin

http://i49.tinypic.com/2lcmrdy.jpg
Cessna 150 Kit Build


after that, i finally joint the wings together, and mounted them on the top of the fuselage...
DIHEDRAL= 15o
WINGSPAN=38 in

Specially for SHANNON,

What's Left

 Grin Grin Grin I crashed today.... yaaaaaaay Smiley
here's a pic.... Clap Clap Clap Clap

http://i37.tinypic.com/20pa5b5.jpg
Cessna 150 Kit Build


i figured out what happened afterwards, and am now working on repairing it....  Grin
the motor is too strong for this plane...  Shocked i don't know if that's good or bad.... but it took off without giving ANY elevator, and with the throttle at 50%
then the wings couldnt handle the lift, and they folded....then it hit the ground....

luckily, no damage to any electronics...   Bow
only the balsa strengtheners in the fuselage broke....

...and the wwing... Sad
so now i am rebuilding all the strengtheners with 6mm plywood...

BACK TO THE DRAWING BOARD!!!! xD

It flew this time.... circled a few times... suddenly the wings vibrated, and the plane went into a nosedive from 50ft in the air... smashed nose first right into the ground.... Cry

broke the whole front region of the plane...(smashed to bits) and dented the motor shaft..... Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry Cry

first my cat, and now this... don't think i will even bother rebuilding now...

thanks,
aniket

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



Aniket, I am sorry to hear of your cat, and your crash

Please don't get discouraged, these things sometime happen.

Make another model. The shaft can be replaced.

Maybe get an experienced modeller to check the aircraft before covering, and before the flight?

All the best

Sorry for your cat,she was a beautiful one.
As far as your crash goes,don't be disheartened please it is just some crashes,ask around,people have had many but what you need is will and patience to do it again and you can after seeing your pictures and your building.
Just be patient and do re-build,Rc is a great hobby,just keep praciticing.
Cheers
