On most of my models I use Bolt Down systems.

See the build log

See this picture:




The holes drilled and M4 Blind Nuts fitted. Wing bolts (Nylon, M4) fit into them

Finally. Video was taken on Sunday (yesterday) and originally is 1.3 GB 

Really strong cross-wind, but the model took it reasonably well

Awesome sir!

superb sir

sirji as usual the model is wonder the full.....but cameraman need training... to use zoom and focus....

& he mentions camera is not good!!!!

I mean with such models we should be seeing Hobby king style flight review etc.



Ps - Sorry if i have hurt the cameraman's feelings.

The cameraman is strictly amateur - my younger son. Congratulations, you have just been appointed official cameraman of Boltz

PS: The ex-cameraman wants to meet you in person

Very nice Sir 

  guys   

sir, you're oozing builds, emitting builds, radiating builds now, 

Thanks GS

Jebelsky wing anyone?

Er, Jebelsky, sir?

Apologies, bade saheb 

JEDELSKY!!

Any experience on these wing designs? Will be a first for me, although when I was in school (i was, you know  ) I made a Mercury Marauder (I think) a sailplane with an undercambered wing. Covering was ...... with tissue and dope! Had to glue the tissue to the ribs for the wing underside 

Returning to Zattack, I cannot praise the designer enough.

Without electronics, but with Landing Gear the cost is under Rs. 400.

Any 300+ Watt motor will work fine.

With low rates it makes a great aerobatic trainer, capable of all FAA Aerobatic sequences, and at high it is Hot! Real Hot! 

very good sanjay sir bravo

Sir ji ,
which glue u use for coro ( plastic cardboard ). I use quick fix but it doesn't work.

Cyano, SR 998 (from Fevicol) and Hot Glue

http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/(yet-another)-avispad/msg155045/#msg155045 for SR 998

Can use Cyano with the same preparation

For 90 degree joints (butt joints) with less surface area for gluing, use Hot Glue. But careful - adds weight, especially in the tail section

Thanks sir ji it helps me a lot.

Wow Sanj, you have churned out another superb looking plane this "Zattack" in 4 to 5 days.... amazing!!

The decals and colour scheme is lovely... it looks a proper kit built plane. But then again all your models have some super stripes and decals which I admire... (Pleased to hear Spad cap is being saved in the hanger ....... still reserved I hope!!).

After nearly 10 months I completed the Depron one metre span model D & A. I started it last year and will be maidening it soon if weather permits, was being distracted by this Mako which I have managed to build 2 of now, both extreme pleasure in flying and no problem at all in landing in tall grass or muddy field.

Winter is here and am thinking a coro plane would be a good project.. Lets see!!

BTW, please do upload some measurements for that stand... need to build one for this D & A....

Have fun and safe landings with Zattack!

Hi Dee. Good luck with that Corro model. Also looking forward to reading more about the 1 m span D&A

Hi Sanj,   D & A is completed and flying quite well now after moving the C& G a lot forward and adding quite a bit of lead in the nose. Very responsive and quite a fast plane.... trying to learn side slipping on it... Rudder seems to drop the plane quite a bit so need to sort that out. It happens with my Mako too, on straight flights rudder can be compensated with elevator but when trying any manoeuvres it just drops out of the sky like a brick!

Did I read Zattack is in hanger for repairs somewhere on the forum..... That is sad, how bad is the damage and when is it out flying again?

Deepak, the Zattack is fixed and flying again; as good as ever
