Red Swan Balsa Kit from RCB

I'm making the Red Swan Balsa Kit from RC Bazaar. I'm going to use it as my entry for the sweepstakes Grin

I had earlier made the J3 Piper Cub from RCB, a similar kit. Althoigh the wood quality & Laser cutting are OK, there is no plan, and ignorable instructions. So it's a lot more fun ROFL

Here goes:

First the mandatory date bit Wink

Re: Red Swan Balsa Kit from RCB

Started with the fuse. I used a 2627 motor (also from RCB) I had lying around. Of course, the holes in the firewall did not fit

Nice kit and good build there. Thumbs Up

I am thinking would make a nice model for 1/2 A Glow size.

PS : This is from your competition : "Grrr...... By building a RCB Kit you have taken an edge over us for the PT -20 Ryan. We will surely pitch in with an RCB kit build too to match that Grrr.... " Giggle

Don't wake a Tiger until you've factored the teeth

Re: Red Swan Balsa Kit from RCB

Yes, it would, e.g. a .049 Cox, or even a Fox 0.10. Only problem is the fuse is very narrow, about 30 mm at engine mount point, and you would need to put long engine bearers in hardwood (e.g. spruce.....a commercial engine mount would not fit) Of course the Cox engine would not need this, but a sturdy firewall, and some landing gear jugaad to save the prop.

I don't think either of us have to worry about the PT 20, as Sujju is not a judge, only a donor Grin

Anwar-bhai...I doubt you can be influenced Giggle

Re: Red Swan Balsa Kit from RCB

30mm is a sufficient space for a Cox 0.049 as well as for a small fuel tank behind firewall. More so because COX is front firewall mounted unlike on rails. With the wingspan and being a glider would be an ideal model.

PS : Grin

Two youngsters were just challenging their tough competitor sir

I cannot compete against these imaginative, dynamic and hard-working talented youngsters Sad

Some more pics:

The fuse complete with servos, tail feathers complete (craziest vertical stab I've ever built!)
