You may want to increase the area of your V Tail. It looks a tad small. Does she glide well? Huh?

Today was maiden... a great day with Bilal  Hats Off Hats Off Hats Off

I added the electronics in the simplest way.. not emphasizing on the looks. Setting CG was a great problem Bang Head. Battery was added just behind the motor to balance it without adding any dead weight.. it was a success thereafter. Smiley Smiley

First we took some glide tests, thanks VC sir for "Jhadi Technique" Bow Bow. then we took it on a one storey construction building and chucked it to check the glide..
Glide was nice.

We then tried ROG takeoff, took off and crashed and trimmed model every time. finally it flew like charm.
First pilot was Bilal and then it was me.I flew very well with damaged propellor.

We took videos from mobiles.
Waiting for bilal to edit video. video also has a mystry and a history. >Cheesy the quality may be a bit disappointing Bang Head

the pic shows the progress after the motor was mounted.

Yes the "jhaadi technique"  Giggle  Giggle.. or the "tall grass gliding test" i woud say..

Its just a test to check whether "aall ez well" with your plane before flying..

Jokes apart: I would post the VC sir's exat words.It explains it better.

"learnt a good trick from an experienced flyer:

1. Load your model with ALL electronics.
2. Battery, ESC, Motor, Servo, Receiver, Push rods - EVERYTHING!
3. Calculate and balance the model at CG.
4. Find a field with tall grass.
5. Chuck the model with full weight from shoulder height - flat throw - not at an angle up or down.
6. If the model glides perfectly for a landing into the grass - it will also fly well under power.
7. Now power it up and FLY!

If you see the third diagram on this page, the glide angle should be, ideally, half / three fourth the angle created by the red line to the ground.

http://takebackthesky.com/glossary.php "

My glide angle was different as it was a glider..

Thanks  Thumbs Up

The 'experienced flyer' is Saikat at Dufflaghur T.E. Last year at around this time, I had enjoyed his gracious hospitality.

the material for covering film is the covering film you get at RCD. Its a bit  Undecided much heavier than monocoat and oracover, but serves the purpose.
I really appretiate RCD for selling these stuffs at "value for money" price..

need some free video editing software to upload the first attempt videos.. ROG takeoff was all i wanted. First attempt has was all about ROGs. 

Just use what is provided by the world's richest man Giggle

http://windows.microsoft.com/en-US/windows7/products/features/movie-maker 

There are versions available for earlier versions of Windows.

If you are on a Mac, just use the iMovie software that comes free/included in Mac OS X.
