Re: My new Foamy !!!
Thanks Kalyan Da.
The motor I used is the 2212-10, 1400kv 140 watts. Well, my exmas are over and I have a two months long vacation.
The front wheel is basically, the landing gear of an old RTF plane that I have. I took out both the wheels stuck it together to make a single wheel and put it on the nose gear.

Re: My new Foamy !!!
Thank You so much vishwas.
Well, I had these normal metallic screws lying down in my house, of about 2 and a half inches long. I used that.
For sanding you require lots of patience. I basically use two sand papers, 80 and 160 grit metallic grains. Stick that to a piece of wood or a sample foam block(which is what I did) and then just sand till you get the desired shape. For deep sanding use the 80 one and for light sanding use the 160 one. I just drew an airfoil shape on the cross-section of the wing and then sanded it accordingly.
Haven't measured the AUW.

Re: My new Foamy !!!
So, went to maidan at 5.30 am today for the maiden. Hand launched it, excellent glide performance. Just that the day was too windy, I was really having a hard time controlling it, decided to land and save the model. Have a few cosmetic damages due to the hard landing, other than that everything else is fine. Waiting for a calmer day. Sorry, don't have the video, I took the video cam with me, but had forgot to charge it.

Augustinev, could you care to elaborate how you determined this just looking at some photos? The reason I am asking is that I cannot make out the difference and when I am into scratch builds, I think understanding this part may mean the difference between a crash and a safe landing.

Re: My new Foamy !!!
So, I actually decided to put the 3 sec video that the camera did shoot before it shut down due to low battery
. Haven't been able to take it since, was busy with the extra 300. Anyhow, here's the intro with the 3sec footage at the end.
