Was a bit bored and wondering what to build did not have foam as well happened to see this http://www.gryffinaero.com/models/ffpages/rce/phoenix/ but was was to small,i had a small piece of balsa sheet2mm around i think 5inchx 18inches in size  and some scrap pieces  Giggle so said let give it a go and build a 12incher,using the gear from my balsa  tortoise  http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/micro-slow-flyer-the-balsa-tortise/  

Wing- 12inch detachable
covering- laminate used on top of brown school book covers crumpled and used here
balsa- mentioned above
Plan- in the link above. (mine was made large to 12inch by my own imagination)
Electronic- mini vapor horizon hobby(use google for specs)
auw-12grams
batt-60mah im finding under powered may need a 70mah

Have very few pics while building

Hi Roman, nice build. Is it better if you use thin plastic sheets used as food wrap instead?

Roman, nice model and flight.

60 mah & 70mah battery will not impact the power.

since both battery are 1s 70mah batt. will not add thrust.

for more power you may need to change the prop / motor.

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  Bang Head
