had my first successful maiden flight with my newly coro-plastic model,,,,almost about 3yrs gap re-entering the model making hobby,,,the filight was real surprise and zero crash acheived.......here are some pics

some pic on field just after landing....zero damage

Congrats and wb to the hobby cheers

thanx priyum,,,,,thts just a start,,,,,more plans on its way

Nice and clean build sir... Can you possibly share the dimensions with us all?
Regards
Punty

it would be really of great help if you can post the build log

Yes please post the build log and the specifications.

Very nice build....looking good...
Is it a straight wing, without V shape (dihedral or poly) ? I heard that if it is straight wing without V shape, it will not give good gliding characterstics (i mean, once u reduce the throttle, it starts coming down, it should glide atleast for 2 secs.). Because i have designed a same type of wing and faced little difficulties in gliding. it would be great help if you can post a flying video and complete wing design.
Thanks in advance.

ya sure m just about to share all the specs u guys needed.....m soon gonna post some descriptive pics explaining detail of construction.

@ kumardasai,,,,,,,, ya its straight wing,,,,,but the most interesting fact is tht its all-coro-wing no balsa or carbon fibre spar was used,,, still tough and xtrem light weight acheived,,,,whole new schemes where applied during wing construction,,,,,,coro flutes are horizontal across the wing span and not vertical as we see in normal coro wing design,,,,,wing have aerofoil ribbs running all over the span.

Straight wing or dihedral wing does not make any difference to the gliding. A wing with dihedral self corrects itself when turning. Meaning if you release the aileron or rudder, the plane becomes level. Whereas in a straight wing it does not level upon releasing aileron or rudder. It keeps turning. Also, a dihedral wing can be flown without ailerons however a straight wing needs ailerons in addition to rudder for effective turning. Hence trainers are usually given plenty of dihedral for easy flying.

@vishalrao :- very nice explanation and easily understood. Its clearly explained. Thank you.

Cheers
