Preggy is all covered up and ready to show off  her belly on some low passes while flying,she can be hung on the living room celing as a show piece /display as well,can easily fit into  a small bag.

Preggy in action with the 150mah 1s she can fly easily for 15-20mins with just a bit of throttle . Landing is a bit difficult on rough surface indoor she will be even more beautiful

@romanxdsouza,
Excellent! Congratulations.
An inspiration even for an oldie like me.
I'm sure ashok baijal, who keeps building something new and different, will build one of these next  ;D

Mistakes made:
-with the  balsa wheel i dint get proper landing so swapped it with foam wheels which put in 2 -3 grams of weight :giggle: :giggle:
- did not give in some degree right thrust on the motor so trim is way towards the right on rudder .....but now all good and  balanced
- could be made lighter  :thumbsup:
- went on a slightly windy  day to fly :giggle: :giggle: :giggle: i prefer no wind at all, because  then preggy can show off and do close pass by near to me and watch the joggers admire her.

That's awesome sir.
Great build and well flown. I love the model and definitely going to build one coz it's rainy now days and flying outdoor is difficult due to long grass in the field. This plane i can fly indoor as well as outdoor.
I have been looking for the electronics but can't find in India and these are very costly.
So any LHS selling electronics.
I also love DIY so any destination plz PM me link.
Thank you.

Regards.

Would like to share some info on the covering....had many question about it.. the material i use to cover is easily found......the brown school book covers have a laminateed plastic on them thats what i use.....u may have troublpeeling the plastic from the brown paper its because of the glue used ..so  i   tried putin it in water and then boiling it it then seem to peel out easy.....i then removed it from the water peeled of the brown paper wich came of very easily and used the plastic...I have also used vegetable bags the transparent ones in bazzar they worked tooo http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/f1d-type-electronic-indoor

Adhesice use to cover is fevicol SR 998.....this is very very tacky sticks to finger and is difficult to remove.....i mix equal quantily of fevicol and acetone  and then apply on the balsa u can use it on carbon rods too.....its a real pain actually  :giggle:working with it  :banghead: :banghead:
