more pics..I used coro glued with depron for fuselage formers. Thermocole airfoil templates were used as wing ribs. groove was cut on each template so that spar stays in place. spar is a doubled 3 mm coro along the wingspan..

That is terrific . Neat planes fly great. What glue are using for coro and how are you preparing the surface for glue to stick well?

Thankyou everyone.. used a sand paper to sand coro and glued the wing with araldite.. used hot glue for fuse and tail work.. Wing lacks a dihedral.. Don't know what will happen when I fly it..

Sanjay sir, thankyou for your advice.. The plane is a little tail heavy. Hope it will balance when electronics are installed

Haven't seen any pics with the motor installed. What about Landing Gear? Will you be using this?

First time spadders often land up with tail heavy models. Get the CG right - about 1/3rd of the span from the leading edge. You can move the battery around to get it right; but do not fly with a tail heavy model
