Title: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: Bilal on September 23, 2012, 11:31:59 PM Hello everyone,
I had the Tx-Rx of a 3 channel IR heli lying with me from last six months and finally, last week i decided to build an airframe for it. The original idea was to use the motor and prop combo from the heli for a free flight electric plane but finally it came out to be a single channel IR controlled plane.(I am still working on an actuator for the rudder) The airframe selected is Hangar Rat, just because I had read a lot about its stability and ease of flying on RCG. The original plan was enlarged to 109% because I already had a Spruce stick lying with me which i intend to use as the fuselage so the entire plane was enlarged according to it. Following are the specifications:- Fuse Length: 380mm Chord: 95.92mm Wing Span: 512.44mm Aspect Ratio: 5.34:1 Dihedral: 30mm on each tip Covering Material: cellophane sheet rest all is self explained from the following pics.......feel free to ask questions Title: Re: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: Bilal on September 23, 2012, 11:41:03 PM completed airframe.......material used is Indian balsa glued with industrial grade cyno and fevicol. I have used cellophane sheet for covering. It is simply glued to the airframe with fevicol and later on shrunk using electric iron on 'silk' setting

Title: Re: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: Bilal on September 24, 2012, 12:22:46 AM now have a look on the maiden......the plane was extremely stable(more than what i expected) and flew in 35-40 feet circles

Actually when you came up with the plans, i didnt expected it to fly that good.. Was a nice flying session as well :bow: :bow: Title: Re: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: Bilal on September 24, 2012, 12:43:15 AM it wasn't your fault bhaiya......even i did't expect it to fly the way it did.....all i can say is, sometimes the unexpected happens

brigade. Aeromodelling is so much easier if balsa is used with traditional Construction Title: Re: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: buzz_rc on September 24, 2012, 06:57:41 AM Amazing Build :) Very creative!!
Title: Re: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: Bilal on September 24, 2012, 08:28:59 AM thank you Saikat sir.....In fact I too wasted considerable time trying to work with foam, coro, thermocol and other stuff.....but once you work with balsa, its impossible to turn to something else

Aeromodelling is so much easier if balsa is used with traditional Construction totally agree...!! I am tired explaining this to ppl.....

Title: Re: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: VC on September 24, 2012, 10:44:42 AM Very impressive! Seems like we have a resurrection of good old fashioned aeromodelling on its way. {:)}

Title: Re: plan build Hangar Rat (build log) Post by: sahilkit on November 05, 2014, 07:49:33 AM I missed this very clean build. Building with balsa is definitely easy and bilal what size balsa sheet have you used.
