Title: STARTING AN RC GLIDER PROJECT
Post by: shobhit17 on November 04, 2013, 11:28:30 PM
I am planning to make this a complete thread with pictures for assistance of our friends out here.  I wish to make this thread interesting by adding pictures and as far as possible by using household items for construction. It's likely to be a 1.5 - 2 meter glider as I have always preferred making gliders over powered models.  It will be of foam (thermocol) as it is easy to buy, cut and shape.  

Interested people may kindly send in their queries if they have any..... as this will help me plan my construction in such a manner that it addresses their specific concerns..... I intend to show our friends here that a good glider can be made at a small cost and the same methods can then be used to make whatever model anyone of you wish to make....

looking for responses...
regards
Shobhit

S Prakash

While you are at it, could you take care of the spelling and tense etc, casual posts attract little attention and project you as not a serious fellow (Most of your posts contain a lot of spelling mistakes and incoherently formed sentences, making it very difficult to understand), i agree English is not our language. However there are plenty of tools available to aid you correct your posts, just so that you should know, we don't encourage SMS language either

PS
Minor, here and there as long you are making sense, i guess many will overlook

Always built my models from scratch....  for the control line aerobatics used the Windson H that time the Kit was not available with the Sharmas and they were experimenting with the design and so was I.  The same model was later named as Windson H by Sharma Models.........  For the Speed we designed our own model.......... Free Flight Glider was an 8ft wingspan glider called "Meandearer".   Got the plans from a book which I enlarged myself...... I am getting a bit delayed in my Glider project due to domestic reasons but will soon come up with pictures and the built log....
