Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: Free Flight on February 14, 2023, 01:17:40 AM Gorgeous! Looking forward to the rest of the build photos and video.
I had enjoyed my Hots, though from a kit in those days. thrill to fly. Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on February 14, 2023, 09:11:45 AM Gorgeous!

Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on February 25, 2023, 03:27:46 PM Just a quick search on Outerzone throws up 6 different Hots models by Santich!

Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: K K Iyer on February 25, 2023, 08:35:35 PM @sanjayrai55,
Rai saheb, A joy as usual to see your builds. Wish more members posted build logs. Would there be any interest in a build log competition? Most popular decided by members’ poll? Anyway, you have motivated me. I’ll post a log of my as yet unflown Royal Coachman. BTW, Mr Bamrah’s Super Hots is immaculate ! Regards Iyer Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on February 26, 2023, 03:33:44 PM Fantastic! I was waiting for the build log of the Royal Coachman :thumbsup:

Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: Free Flight on March 01, 2023, 05:43:12 PM Slow, but strong for sure. Quite sand able. I too use an equivalent one called Titebond here.
Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on March 02, 2023, 04:03:34 PM Titebond is a little faster than Fevicol. It's easily available here, but costs 10 X of Fevicol!

Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on June 25, 2023, 10:16:18 AM Was a bit under the weather - some nasty chest congestion. Lost the last 6 weeks of the good flying weather too! But now back to it That turned out to be much nastier than I thought! CT Scan and tests showed a fungal infection in the Sinus Cavities which had gone into the lungs. One lung was functioning only 52%. Had to have an immediate surgery Anyway, better now, so back to the build!

Sir, any particular reason for center section sheeting grain being chordwise instead of spanwise? Regards Iyer Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on July 01, 2023, 03:21:00 PM @sanjayrai55 Sir, any particular reason for center section sheeting grain being chordwise instead of spanwise? Regards Iyer No particular reason except material availability (2.5 mm sheet cut-off) The plans also show it like that The sheeting is non-functional - only the cover for the servo compartment. It is to be fixed with a few small screws Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: K K Iyer on September 15, 2023, 07:25:29 PM Sirji, no update in over 2 months...
Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on September 16, 2023, 09:23:46 AM Yes sir. I have been lax
I haven't been flying since March also, but that's because of health reasons Hope to start everything soon ;D Title: Re: Fun Fly Hots Post by: sanjayrai55 on November 14, 2023, 01:21:08 PM Progress
