Greetings everyone!   here i am with my second sweepstakes build - FT Simple Soarer from flitetest.com .... since i am doing two sweepstakes projects simultaneously and was out of station for few days so, i'm a little late in posting.. so enjoy my build..

started the build on 2nd July 2015. i have used 5mm depron for this build with fiber tape for strength.. and using a power pod with turnigy 2730 (rewinded with 13turns of 26 wire) motor, 20a esc , 1500mah battery and 9g servos....

since i was having limited servos, so made some removable servo mounts so that i can remove my servos easily ans use them on other projects.....
traced out the shape of the servos and made these parts with thick cardboard and depron..

i noticed some gape between the two servos which bending the whole frame while the servo moves so filled the gape with some depron pieces...

some of you might doubt that the barbecue sticks are right above the servo mount then how can it be removable, yes its a tight fight but its removable with  some effort...

the most interesting part of the whole build was to make the ailerons and i decided to make the bell crank (correct me if i'm wrong) mechanism.. never tried it before but had no choice as i was left with only one servo and the ailerons are far apart.. so accepted the challenge and gathered some scrape parts....
so here we go....

measured out the ailerons on both sides...

crank build....

used servo arms (removed two from four which resulted in a good 90 degree angle crank), a small washer, a part from a ball joint linkage (i don't know what its called) and a hex nut to hold them together....

kamal sir you can get fiber tape from here- http://hobbysea.com/products.php?729&cPath=5&sid=e079bb850f06f7e89b03637851a1effe
or search some other hobby shops you will get it. i got mine from ebay 1 year back i think.  and for local source you can try searching it in sports accessories shops in your town, its used in cricket bats ( take the roll)...  sir it took me one and half 5mm sheets of depron (its not hd foam) to complete this glider.

That is a proper Depron my friend. People have been using foam board and calling it Depron. I just hope it is freely available in all cities.  Please can you ask your friend what is it called in Bangalore. And where did he actually buy it from.

Thanks
