Re: Stik build from RCB kit for sweepstakes 2014
Started with the wing...
This kit does not have separate ailerons, but one has to cut after making the wing...
Thank you Sanjay Sir, Sandy Sir's build log, Google and YouTube

Sandy Sir, Electric... for that's what we fly at our field...
I have two .15 and two .30 engines without carbs eating dust... if I find the carbs (and I don't end up breaking this build till then), I'll be happy to convert this to glow

0.15 Glow.
Pretty much docile and aggressive to fly with.

Re: Stik build from RCB kit for sweepstakes 2014
some items left in the wing so could not cover... added now...
Servo trays
The kit does not contain a spar, so I passed a Aluminium pipe and used Balsa cement to hold it in place.

Re: Stik build from RCB kit for sweepstakes 2014
Covered the fuselage instead...
Vinyl does not stick like monokote, have to use drops of CA/Fevibond to hold edges... Also the finish is not as good as monokote since vinyl does not shrink very much... but not bad overall given the easy availability, and better durability...Pin sized holes for letting air trapped in bubbles escape while shrinking are absolutely must.

Re: Stik build from RCB kit for sweepstakes 2014
Sandy sir, I measured against the provided wingspan, and then joined the wings aligning with the center line... the gap in between has a Alu spar running through for strength and is now covered by 1mm Balsa ply with reinforcing members inside... Will post pictures before applying final cover...

Re: Stik build from RCB kit for sweepstakes 2014
but the question is why the gap.... are you increasing the WS by few inches ... or you will stick the wings together.

No not increasing the ws... measured against the given spec of 1060 mm and joined the wing.
Here are the pics of the wing wrap and the covering...

Re: Stik build from RCB kit for sweepstakes 2014
This is a wonderful model..balances very well with a nitro 0.15 engine, but I used a 2836 motor, ended up adding 50mm booms and its still just at the borderline... all in all flies pretty good, esp for noob pilots like me...
