yes guys i have finished the fuse of my typical 50 cc electric giant foamy extraa 300. i dont know what to call it in electric terms other than 50cc size its fuselage length without rudder is 2.1m or 210cm or 2100mm.

i have photos toooooo

the plane is built out of the thermocol i told of with a depron middle piece (the fuselage is a completely built up fuse with 3 mm ply wood beams in place for cf rods all over the body. the fuselage weighs about 250-300 gms and i expect the weight of the model without electronics  to be less than 750 gms or 1 kg ihave the electronics with me ready will maiden it only after 5th november as my exams are starting on wednesday

this project was built as a break from studying took me an hour to complete the fuse

there is a slight chipped off foam at the rudder base tip and the fuse as i joined two already used sheets of thermocol already used from the corners. each sheet was 105cm

no anwar bhaiya i will do the wing in a before wednesday probably in the study break tomorrow

thanks for the help

subbu

any suggestions for the props i was thinking of using 10 * 6 prop will it be too small

subbu

hey guys just finished the wings the ailerons have to be cut as they are nearly half the width of the wings

pictures will be up by night

subbu

Whole power plant is better finalized after you are done with the full model.  Even though you are optimistic about not having use additional reinforcements, it is too early to say.

Subu ,

I think the Buffy  is what you should be looking at.

Sai

thanks sai uncle helped me a lot

and for all you people i have officially finished the model of the plane the wings shall be attached on the field as it doesn't fit in my room!!!!  at this pace i could make and sell these (after the maiden) to sai uncle and make money ;D ;D ;D

so here are the final pics of the plane

and yes my estimate was a bit to less my whole plane weighs more than 1kg and less than 1.2kg all due to my ply wood reinforcement

anyway the planes strength is very very good and looks good tooo i will be buying a motor for the beasty any suggestions are welcome

please help

i believe this is the lightest plane of its category and i wish it flies better

2820/6 with 40 amp esc should be OK. With a 11 inch prop

work on the plane has been done i finished all the hinging part and made some control horns from ply and probably by next weekend will buy the motor and install servos

subbu

How have u connected the control surfaces?

- Ankur

OK THAT WAS ONE THING I DID NOT INTEND TO BOAST ABOUT
being a foam plane i tape hinged it and please yes i know i did it right the steps were 6 fibre tape strips which were strengthened the opposite side tooo and then applied wonder 555 tape with hot glue yes hot glue and with final heat strengthening it is as hard as rock and weighs as much as a feather

subbu

How do u plan to transport such a big lady to the flying field? :headscratch:

dear p6, can throw a little light on the hot glue ? the process and the stuff..

regards

just Call an Ambulance for a 'lift' !!  {:)} >:D  :giggle: :thumbsup: :o

Subbu nothing against you kiddo, just an innovative idea... there is anyway call for innovation on this forum!!
Vinay and me are facing similar problem even for carrying basic trainer..

I don't think an ambulance will do, I think this plane needs some "Packers and movers" Service  >:D

Just kidding subbu, Waiting for an video of this plane as you fly it. {:)}

thanks guys anyways i was thinking of a trailer or make the planes fuse in two and assemble it in field

subbu

Ideas...  8-)  :P
