Title: Re: Idol Balsa kit build log- for 2014 Sweepstakes Post by: sundaram on April 02, 2014, 10:35:30 AM Cool!!!!.... Vasanth :thumbsup: :thumbsup: One more Cox Engine Built
I am loving it. I am available for any query. If you have bought the engine from prodigy_techus @ ebay.in. (seems like so..) please do not use the prop which came with it because it is a Pusher Prop 5x3 3 Blade will be inefficient in traction. Please use a 6x3 or a 5x3 prop. Use at least 10% Nitro (or up to 25% Nitro) for good flight characteristics. PS : My son loves this model. Last sunday we flew in really heavy wind conditions. It was like powered soaring action. with the model almost static just creeping in head wind conditions at WOT. :) Let me post the video while you are at it here http://www.rcindia.org/gas-glow-nitro-planes/build-and-fly-idol-laser-cut-kit-890mm-from-hobby-king-with-12-glow-engine. (http://www.rcindia.org/gas-glow-nitro-planes/build-and-fly-idol-laser-cut-kit-890mm-from-hobby-king-with-12-glow-engine.) Title: Re: Idol Balsa kit build log- for 2014 Sweepstakes Post by: vasanth2787 on April 02, 2014, 11:46:58 PM Hello Sundaram,
I was Always referring your build log since i started building it.I decided to put cox engine after seeing your built log only.I was thinking to thank u after i finish my built.Neways am doing it now :) :thanks: I got this engine from one of my friend in chennai.He also have a pro prop for it(I donot know the size :banghead:) Sure will use the fuel % recommended by you regards Title: Re: Idol Balsa kit build log- for 2014 Sweepstakes Post by: vasanth2787 on April 05, 2014, 10:09:37 AM test fit.Will Do the covering tonight
Title: Re: Idol Balsa kit build log- for 2014 Sweepstakes Post by: vasanth2787 on April 07, 2014, 07:57:42 AM Covering done
Title: Re: Idol Balsa kit build log- for 2014 Sweepstakes Post by: sundaram on April 07, 2014, 09:35:12 AM Lamination film add weight to it. I hope you added the thinnest available. :)
Title: Re: Idol Balsa kit build log- for 2014 Sweepstakes Post by: vasanth2787 on April 07, 2014, 09:49:36 AM Hello sir,
Yes i added thinnest one.It s really good and cheap :-) Title: Re: Idol Balsa kit build log- for 2014 Sweepstakes Post by: sundaram on April 07, 2014, 09:53:51 AM Incidentally Lamination film adds more structural strength to model as long as air frame can take the tension without warping and power plant can lug the weight.
