You're reposting stuff that were already asked, there is a search box here for a reason. There's a gazillion amount of old fogey stuff in rcindia including mine. When you repeatedly post the same stuff over and over again, it'll be messy.

@taksh,
Why do you go on asking others?

If you type ‘what is AUW’ in Google, you’ll get the answer

Taksh ji,

AUW is All-Up-Weight that is maximum total weight of the aircraft with which you can get airborne (All air crews, passengers, fuel/batteries/passenger meals/baggage/cargo/coins aboard).

@taksh,
Which battery? Capacity?
Answers already given in the flitetest videos

Finding CG before installing electronics.
You don’t have to FIND THE CG.
Balancing it without electronics is USELESS.

Please put in everything required to fly.
Then check if it balances level at the specified CG point.
If not, add weight to nose or tail as required, or move the lipo forward or back.

Aapke sawaalon se aksar aisa lagta hai ki aap bachchon ki tarah spoon feeding chahte hain.
Aisa impression kyon dete hain?
Aap to kafi jankaar hain.
Har choti baat pe sawaal na uthayen.
Thoda search kijiye, thoda dimag lagaiye.
Regards

Taksh ji,
AUW is All-Up-Weight that is maximum total weight of the aircraft with which you can get airborne (All air crews, passengers, fuel/batteries/passenger meals/baggage/cargo/coins aboard).

Clarification/ assistance is good.
But spoon feeding is NOT good.
It prevents others from learning.
You deprived taksh of the opportunity to find out something by himself  Grin

Battery:
500mah 3s

Build Completed
Used 9g servo & paper clips as push rods.

Fuselage weight without servo is  190g
Wing weight is 110g
Battery weight : 46g
Total weight is more than 346g
I think 50% throttle is okay for my old fogey.

I want to fly plane but rain become a problem again.

DIY Control horns using card. (Made after watching Andrew Newton)
This time, control horns are best. In previous blue baby, I need to set limit in tx for servo stalling.
This time, only one servo with little stalling and set one end point to 90% from 100%.

Two things could have happened:
Eother you gave too large a control input
Or the wing polyhedral joint was not strong. The left polyhedreal clearly flexed and stalled.
The plane did fly though......
Keep working!

polyhedral portion was flexible.
In 1st maiden plane was going to left side but in 2nd maiden flight, plane was going in straight direction(sidha ja rah tha).
I gave small control to rudder.
I throw plane in wrong direction of wind --- 1st problem.
I know wing polyhedral portion is flexible --- 2nd problem.
People around me was disturbing me --- 3rd problem & most important problem.
Motor with no thrust angle...

Well actually no  thrust angle doesn't mean that plane won't fly good, crash or be uncontrollable. when thrust angle is zero and while flying you observe that when you get the throttle to zero, the plane either pitches up, down or yaws that would mean it has a wrong thrust angle.

If you don't want to continue with your old fogey then do a coro build, you can do the tiny trainer. Coro is tough it can resist good amount of crash. If you hot glue Coro in a wrong way then removing glue is also easy .

Also try without landing gear, sometimes it gets sketchy with landing gear...
