Hi all,

I have designed a foamy Yak 55. I will start building the model & will share with you my progress till the flight... Grin the plane is designed slightly bigger than the normal foamies it has wingspan of 38 inches.. i wanted slightly bigger as its easy to fly outdoors in wind.

What glue are you using ?  And what is the thickness of the foam ?  Planning for any reinforcements ?

The glue is our great Indian glue "Fevicol" great for this job & better than the expensive foam safe that i have used in the past. The foam is 6mm thick, I will be using carbon fiber rod for reinforcements in the wing.

Plain old white color Fevicol used for wood work etc ?  Fevicol has many many types now, hence the question.

Here is the wing attached & reinforced with a 2mm carbon fiber rod this will be enough to strengthen the wing.

It appears that the motor is way too small for this size. I recommend you put this.

Finally painted mostly complete, only tail plane & bottom of the plane needs to be painted. I made a mistake by making a slot for the rudder servo in the very front of the fuselage actually i was planning to use a pull-pull system but later changes my mind. I will install the rudder servo in a normal push rod style near the tail.

Hey,

What colors are you using to paint this as it doesn't look that it's being airbrushed

Thanks

The acrylic color should work fine on your coro best results will be if you airbrush it, as the paint is thick & leaves brush marks on it.

Good One. Nice Color Scheme... Is this Fevicryl ? with normal paint brush?

It looks that the motor is a bit small for this. You may be able to fly it, but I dont think it would be good for 3D. Post the updates.
