Great to see the model Akshay! Its a good start. Is that the foam you recently bought ? It is Styrofoam isn't it ? Not Depron/Biofoam. I would suggest you to completely  cover the plane with Clear Scotch tape, before putting some fiber Tape on the leading edges.

You ESC looks over kill and LiPo just little under kill for the motor :

I would have suggested the below ESC:

and below LiPO:

Nevertheless you setup is still good  to go.

All the best and hope to join you for the maiden.

I have that one. It is good. Buy one locally if possible from praveen or aman_funny to avoid problems with customs :)


Title: Re: My first scratch built RC airplane...(currently in progress)
Post by: raghav23 on March 14, 2011, 06:11:38 PM
will there be any pbms with the customs ???  :headscratch: In hobby kings, it costs only $23 but if i buy locally in any hobby shop in chennai or nearby it costs more than 2000 rs

Post by: rajathv8 on March 14, 2011, 06:20:26 PM
Hey its $23  + shipping ( $17.95 ). Plus you will need to buy the USB cable for $2.99.

$23+$17.95+$2.99 = Rs.2024

Raghav sorry to give it to you straight. This won't fly well. I doubt will it fly at all. You need to look at some straight wing long wing span aircraft. Don't waste your electronics on this .
Just a friendly advice
