Well I been making Kaiser models for a long long time now.... The first one was built sometime in early 1980s... guess 1982 or 83.  Since then have seen maly Kaisers in my hangar and yes have broken nearly everyone of them.... the laterst one in the Hangar is Mk II and am building the Mk I.  I still have its plan with me which as old as the first model I made.
Here is my last Kaiser MK II on the airfield....  with me setting up my remote to do the first flight.  It flies really well....

My earlier Kaiser Mk I which i said good bye to a few weeks ago......  I am making the same one again.... here are a few pictures of her...

Here are a few pictures of the old plan for the Mk I which I am making now.... though this model is a Balsa wood construction i am going to make it with commercially available foam or thermocol picked up from refregerator sellers (one can get 8-10mm medium density thermocol from these shops - free of cost).....

Though I will make it for a 4 channel rc set.... complete with Throttle, Rudder, Elevator and Alierons...

Great  Subscribed

The old Kaiser pics are nice. They remind us of the good times we've had.

Now you have to start one more thread
"RCI 6th Sweepstakes: 1st entry: Kaiser Mk1"
And put a link to it in the main Sweepstakes thread.
It was only after seeing how Rai saheb has posted did i really understand what is to be done.
Regards

Thanks a lot KK Sir......
My only fear is that I might not be as fast in building it as I should be... Presently been running around the local Hospital for some reasons..... Lets see how much time I can spare into this....

OK here are the first few pictures of the Model in making.....

The first picture is that of the template taken from the plan on a butter paper for marking the thermocol sheet..... the nest pictures show the thermocol sheet marked appropriately and cut by a surgical knife........

The attached pictures show clearly that it is not a HD thermocol but close to a commercially available one.  I had picted them up from the Refregerator seller close to my house.... The main issue now is to strength this thermocol to take the load of a model which will fly with a motor equivalent to a .20 Cu In glow plug and do most aerobatics.....  One can clearly see the large size thermocol cells....

Here are a couple of pictures of the cut fuselage.

Just a reminder to place the latest newspaper with your build pictures for date validation. A veteran and master builder like you should not miss due to a technicality.

This is the exactly same thermocol I use.... Very stiff if covered in tape "properly" or glassed with epoxy resin and chiffon cloth.

Thanks for reminding me Ashok..... and yes Topalle this foam gets stiff as you said it right with proper stiffining.  BUT i use paper to stiffen it and also keep it light... anything from kite paper or butter paper can be used to stiffen it.... I will show the method when the time comes.....

I am adding yesterdays and todays pictures.....
The first two pictures are of the fuselage sides.....
The last pic shows the tailplane beting stiffened with two Japanica spars.... the plane is made of green foam.... aka extruded poly styrene.... of 6 mm thickness

Pictures taken on 16 Jun......
The fuselage being made.... one can see the plywood (1.5 mm thick 3 ply) on the inner sides of the fuselage from the nose to the wing attachment point i.e. to the training edge.....
The second picture is of the tailplane now ready.... wating for the covering and the elevator.

Picture of butter paper being fixed at the LE and TE of the tail plane.

Got some time during thw weekend and so pushed through the construction of the fuselage.... here are some pictures of the Tail plane and the Fin being prepared.....

The pictures show the state of the fuselage after covering it with butter paper and thinned fevicol.... and the Fin completed with nylon cloth hinges in place.  The last picture if of the tailplane and the elevator ready....

As all my models are made of scrap blasa wood at Sharmas which I collect often to help me build my wood parts and this one from foam collected from verious places like packing foam for Fridges and Air Conditioners and yes Gauravag's workshop.  I will though be using commercially available thermocol for my wing as though it is not as stiff as required, but it is much lighter then HD foam.  The butter paper covering and paint also do not increase the weight to than an extent to be heavier then a HD foam wing with paint and all...

Fuselage nearing completion.... or rather one step closer to completion..... The verticle and horizantal stabilisers in place and the Fin stake added in the last picture.....

Have used the 5 minute epoxy to fix the two stablisers to the fuselage......

Soon the final Nose cover and the Undercarriage will be added.....

Will start my construction of the wing today after my visit to Gauravag to cut my wings as needed..... then fixing the spars and the stiffner, center joint, Fiber Glass cloth hard centre portion, inatalling the Alierons and covering the wing with Butter paper will be left.

Last of the things will be painting my model with Fevicryl colours.....  If someone can suggest me a good design which can be painted on my model i will be highly obliged.

Shobhit sir, your models have always been an inspiration, such a wonderful  construction with locally available materials, Hats off ... Looking forward to see the finished model .

This is a very good build with some interesting and innovative techniques Shobhit ji. Really enjoyong it  

Thanks a lot Sanjay Sir..... I try to keep the cost of my models below Rs 500 which includes the fevicol and the paint.  Yes for the wheels and the undercarriage I have to add extra...... PLUS the enectronics.....

Thanks Docnayeem..... you guys keep me going.....

Dear Friends,
here are a few more pictures of the build through the week.... I managed to put in Balsa spars and the LE on the wing and yes the Blue foam TE.  The flaps have been cut out of Blue foam and will be fixed tomorrow......

Some of the wing under preparation... Must thank Mr Gaurav Agarwal... aka Gauravag for spending the last sunday cutting a few wings for me on his CNC hot wire machine...... the wings have come out very good..... and has saved me at least 2 days of sanding effort.

Hi there,  i m making a rc plane  in very low bugget can you please suggest which motor and the cheapest radio should i use. This would  be my very first rc project. Pleease suggest

Well..... RC modelling is not for cheap items of very low budget stuff.... As I am sufficiently experienced I am able to keep the cost of my model down.  But I do not compromise with the Motor or the Battery or the ESC.  I am going to be using a 3-4 cell lipo of 2700 - 3000 mAh on this with a Turnigy 3536 motor or the OS motor I have.... will use a 60 Amp ESC. 

Making a model you must decide your budget first..... then go for a suitable RC Set if you wish to enter RC Flying... The the size of model within the budget and the electricals for it to fit the budget..... If I know your budget it will be of some help.

Some more pictures of the model under construction (Kaiser Mk I) over the week....

Well that box on the fiselage is to put weight on the piece of wood being pasted on the top of the fuselage.... The second picture shoes the control links for Tail surfaces in place.... The third picture shows the space made in the tail section of the fuselage for fixing the servos inside.... (EMax 11 Gm Metal Gears) and the last one shoes the fuselage with the wings (yet to be painted) placed before it.
