I've never built a foamy before, flown 2 though (Easystar 2 and Multiplex Fun Cub)

Managed to get 6 mm Biofoam from Sitaram Stationers, South Ex. 1, New Delhi. Rip-off at Rs. 300 a sheet!!!!

Warning: This is not a beginners model!!!

Plans printed on a plotter

As it is printed on a plotter (very big printer actually) the finish will be excellent. :)

For some reason my Irfan View files are uploading in the original, not reduced, size???   ??? ???

You can use a Free Online Picture Resizer  and then post it.

this is insane

?????

What is?

whats insane ???? flyer or flying object :headscratch:

I missed the maiden :(
Very sweet build and superb finish...Really wanted to see the 3ft takeoff and the landing.

Rai Sahib, that is a stunner! Are you on your way to becoming a professional modeller? If there ever was an award for the most prolific builder on this forum - it would have your name on it. How many, so far, this year Sire?

Don't know VC sir  :rofl: Lost count  ;) ;) :D Thanks so very much :)

To transfer from plans to the foam, I use a sharp pencil and poke through at the primary points. Then I play join the dots :D

Build is fairly simple. However, the Flite Test swappable series goes together with notches slots and tabs, so you need a high degree of precision and accuracy in marking and cutting

I had bought some monokote (clone) from Ganguly-da of Lotus Hobby many many years ago. Decided to check if it had dried out :D  Worked fine

I prefer to put the trims before assembly

Sunburst design on bottom, stripes on top.

Had bought these "snake" pushrods a year ago, decided to use them

Swappable Power Pod. You can use this in many FT foamie models, it's a modular design you unplug from one model and plug into another 8) 8)

I wanted to fit the L/G on this, but as things worked out, it interfered with the battery :(

All 3 servos HXT 900. Motor is Turnigy 2826 1400 KV, and prop (thanks Girish!) is 9*47 SF. Needs a 30 A ESC, I only had a 40A so used it

Finally made the LG as per the plans. Didn't like the idea of so much load on the wing (I specialise in rough landings  :rofl:) but there seemed little choice

The wing hold-down rubber bands also keep the L/G in place. Good, else on a rough landing the bottom wing will get damaged. Should reduce that

Added a tail skid in the form of a small piece of Bamboo Skewer

Awesome build sir. The finish is just like on all your builds incomparable and beautiful.

Thanks Neil :D

Thanks Aman, Mohan & Nitesh  :thanks: :thanks: :thanks:

Ready!! Finally :)

It's not in the pictures, but besides the flat velcro to fix the battery, I also used a velco strap.

On the field

Arvind Singhatiya is forced to be the test pilot - I hate maidening my own builds  :giggle: :giggle:

It takes of within 5 feet and goes vertical! Throws have to be reduced - the model is too sensitive

sanjay sir that is beautiful! just a tip, if you laser print the plans, to transfer them to foam, put them face down and iron them... it will transfer the ink to the foam.. (mirrored though)...
:thumbsup:

I must say Mr. Arvind is a scratch builders test pilot.....

Finest scratch builder's MasterPeace planes like Delta by Saurab and This Bi-plane by Rai Shaeb gave me the rare opportunity to maiden them!  :hatsoff: :hatsoff: Shukriya for the opportunity respected builders!!

Wowieeee   better than the flite test guys... :o
Cool build sanjay sir...  ;D

Beautiful sanjay sir.

baby is real cute

superb sanjay sir  :thumbsup: {:)} :bow: no words  {:)} and its very cute as baby  :-*  :hatsoff:

sanjay ji , very beautiful. pl let us know , that Indian Biofoam is not laminated , what you did with foam to bend it for wing profile and control surface hings.

Thank you Aniket :D

Arvind: as long as you keep coming flying......I'll keep building them :D

Saurabh  :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Majja ka life hai uska  :rofl:

Thank you Arun  :thanks:

Thanks Swizera - actually it's called Baby because there was a model called Blender. It was built for a competition, wherein a Blender was fixed to the plane and a milkshake was made  :giggle: :giggle:

Thank you Nitinraj :D :D

Mohan, if you see the build instructions in Post #1 - what I do is put a piece of tape on the back, and then 2 x  45 deg. cuts. Then bend to 90 degrees, put hot glue, and when dry take out the tape. For different angles use different angle of cut

It reminds the oldie.....agar tum saath dene ka waada karo main yuun he mast nagme luta ta rahoon!!!!  :giggle: :giggle:

superb finish when will i reach there :banghead: :banghead:  what was your experience with your first foamy scratch build sir?,i wanted to build a bipe plane but travel is the prob as wings are not removable,still thinking  :headscratch: :headscratch:,whats the airframe weight and auw of this baby

Thanks Roman

With a 24" wingspan it is easy to transport. The airframe with thr 2826 motor is about 490 gm. AUW with 2200 mah is about 670 gms

Rxperience? Frankly, I prefer corro ;D;D

Sit, pl try this plan on Coro also ;D.. (:|~

Mohan, it just won't work out.

The weight will be more, the wing struts and their anchoring will be a problem.

IMHO with 2 mm corro one needs min. 40" span & 8.5 " chord. That will give you a model flying weight of 900 gms or so

Even a bipe with 24" span and 8" chord like the Baby will weigh about the same ie 900 grams. This will not have the same flying characteristics - you would have to use a more powerful motor, the stall speed will be higher, the descent will be fast and rapid etc.  8-) 8-)

excellent build sir.
:)
i will try one scratchbuild soon

Thanks

Intresting....

That was a large bipe, engine powered! Would have been fun to watch :D

did you use a swappable pod? or is it fixed?

It is swappable

@Sanjay Sir I have only one word "Superb" as always.
@Vc Sir definitely he wuld have won that awrd for sure.

Sirji post a HD video recorded from Girish Bhaiya's Cell..........:P :P :P :P
This plane deserves a HD video ..............................

I will, next week. For sure!

Thanks so much Shauvik

After 2 wings, maybe time for 2 engines?

@Sanjay Sir yeah and afer that 3 engines............... wot say??????????

How about this??
You seem to like Flite Test quite a lot now.
BTW, I've always wanted to build the Baby Blender, ever since they released it, but plan on getting into electrics before that.

The cruiser! I love the twin engine design and I would consider to build one for my fpv hangar.... will need to buy a matching pair of motors and escs....

Sanjay sir, do you have baby blenders pdf plan..
If yes I want to make it...if possible my id is
taitil@yahoo.co.in
Or
taitilchamp@yahoo.com

Taitil bhai, it's available on flitetest.com  ;)

Yes I got it..
Thank u sir..

Taitil, if you are using foamboard/biofoam, I suggest you build the fuselage from foamboard, and the wings from biofoam, thus keeping the weight manageable

Sanjay sir,foamboard is available in India? Pl tell me the place and address (:|~

Mohan, see the first posts in this thread
