This is from Outer Zone, a RCM design by Dick Tichenor circa 1982

Link: http://www.outerzone.co.uk/plan_details.asp?ID=6545

Specs:

Made a few changes - reduced the fuse height to 5"from 6"(not counting canopy) and of course being a Corro model, the internals are entirely different. Retained the other dimensions, and wing/stabilizer shapes

Firewall and 2 formers

FW is 12 mm ply, formers are 4 mm

Nice plane sanjay sir...  Looking forward for the complete plane..

Someday I wanna come and learn the marking tricks from you sir..

Thanks Dev

You are always welcome

Love those neat circular cutouts in the formers...

Iyer sir's eye for detail 

Very well sanjay sir your fuselage sides cutting is very neet and clean what blade you use for coro cutting paper cutting blade or exacto knife again very well done sir

Thanks Gaurang

I use an ordinary "box-cutter"type hobby knife, nothing special

Fuselage is from 5mm corro

Small box for throttle servo

Testing & Centering the servos, cute little Instrument I got as a Birthday Gift

Fuel contact areas fuelproofed with enamel paint

Subscribed.....Wonderful build Sanjayji.

Thanks buddy

Still a long way to go........

Pretty involved tail build, the horizontal stab has a (functional) aerofoil. This is as a little extra lift on the tail is integral to the design. The stab span is also 25 1/4", so rigidity is important. The same holds true for the vertical stab, which is also massive

Decided to go for a built-up horizontal stab, and to use 4 + 2.5 mm corro at 90 degrees for the vertical

Thermocol in the wing-tips.This is then coated with a thin layer of epoxy to make it fuel and (other) corrosive adhesive proof

The song goes, "Seal it with a Kiss" I seal with hot glue  




Next: Wing

Wing is made from 4 mm Corro

A strong base for main L/G

Ailerons & Flaps are 2" by 15 mm thick balsa.

Standard (45 gm ) Servos for Ailerons, and 19 gram MG for Flaps

Nice built Mr. Sanjay!

I made my first RC plane with landing gear and it got broken after few flights. Due to landing gear damage my whole fuselage is getting damaged. Then after I made RCs without landing gears. All were belly landing models.

After seeing your models, I am planning to use landing gears. I like your fabricating techniques.

Thank you

But I haven't yet installed the main L/G, though I have fitted the base for it

Ready for maiden. A long build 

On the field, ready for maiden

Unfortunately the video is....well, bad 

But had a successful maiden, just needed a fair amount of trims, mostly up elevator, and a little left aileron.

Will try and get a better video next time

Hi Sanjay,

Can you help us on which glue to use while sticking coro to coro and coro to wood ?.
You use epoxy or cyno to glue coro, having hard time gluing coro   with cyno.

And i have noticed you use lots of balsa while construction can you elaborate on this ?.

Do you follow the SPAD site instructions? clean-blow torch-water spray one side and then cyno glue ?

may be some sample picture or a video would really help  . Started flying from today, found nice field and group but sadly my flylite crashed (mid-air wing snap while doing fast loop). I want to build a glow trainer 4ch with coro hence...................

Thanks
Sahil

See my earlier builds; fully detailed there

Can find them here: http://www.rcindia.org/rc-people/builds-i-have-posted-on-rci/

Any very specific problem, I would be glad to help out

Thanks will check them out. Gluing method is same for all your builds?. Did you ever experience glue failure and how did you correct?.

Sahil

Never experienced a gluing failure

In fact, my first build, the SPAD Debonair, was only recently retired after many many years

I had given it to a friend who has a passion for trees ( ) and he took it full speed into the trees many times. Finally, it died of old age 

Thanks again SR998-NC thinner-sanding, you still have avispad trainer. Hope your adhesive luck follows me  .

Regards
Sahil  

Oh sure it will 

I gave away the Avispad some years ago. In fact, in the last coupleof years I have given away more models than I remember 

On butt joints eg Vertical stab to horizontal stab, or wherever you have a 90 degree joint, do either

a) Use hot glue
b) Stick a piece of balsa (square or preferably triangular) and with cyano glue the corro onto the balsa. Same surface preparation, any thin cyano works fine, although the ones meant for corro (Flex Kwik any Flex ***) give a stronger bond

And a few more to be gifted next week to some lucky Sweepstakes participant!
