@soham  http://edallhobby.com/  they hav 2200mah in stock

Do not go with 2200mah lipo. according to your pics the plane have short wingspan. as it is smaller plane, the 2200 lipo will increase the wing loading. will not fly good.

As this is your first plane try to make it light weight.

soham,
any 3cell 800 to 1300 mah lipo, will be fine. Which will not increase the weight.

http://hobbysea.com/products.php?9&cPath=11&sid=n5p6n1mpel7tjepj2qf3vmn1u7

this will also work.

i would suggest to go for a 30 amps esc....

n battery 1500 mah should be good.

i would suggest to buy 2 batteries .......u dont want to go to field with just 1 battery...

and dont forget the lipo charger if you dont have one..


NOTE: senior forum members please correct me if im wrong.... Salute

Hello Soham,
Your plane is too good for first attempt. But do not make/ buy electrics for this plane.

First visit some field and see how the RC plane looks like...... your plane needs control surfaces which are not easy to make.....

i would strongly suggest to first see an RC plane ... give it a second try then buy electrics... cause what you have invested on this plane is <2-3% of what you intend to spend on electronics and transmitter.

the aerofoil shape of wings as seen in pic is wrong..... thickest part of wing should be @ ~ 35% of chord from leading edge. Also you are wrong for the weight as well the airframe you have made must be >100 Grms use a weighing scale + a lot more weight is yet to be added... motor mount, control surfaces, landing gear ( if you want safe landings  Grin), servos , control rods etc etc

and for electrics go for <1000Mah battery and a blue wonder motor with 10-12 amp esc.....for a 1200 mm wing span and <500grm plane.

Yes, it will eat through when sprayed over naked thermocol. But since you have covered your model with paper, it should be okay.

Patch up any exposed foam, sand it down smooth and spray it over. I've tried it and it works.

Good luck.  Thumbs Up

Soham, buy 2 bottles of fabric paint ( white and red ). It is very light weight and also shiny when some fevicol is mixed with water at 2:1 ratio of fevicol with water. Then dump this bottle full in that. Then, you will be ready to paint and it will look shiny.

The best way to strengthen Thermocol is not to add fevicol and cover with paper, but to cover it with thin plastic food wrap(available in stationary stores) This won't add much weight, make it crash proof (mild) and you can easily spray paint it to your colour choice.

Thermocol lighter than coro. So for a real slow flier, Thermocol or laminated depron is better than coro.
