Hi Folks,

I am building my first spad with Coro.  For reinforcement, I intend to use wooden skewers. Where do I buy it in Chennai? I tried at Nilgiris and they gave me a "say-that-again?" look.  Huh? . I would appreciate if you could let me know where I can buy wooden skewers.

Thanks in advance.

cheers

have you tried at any florist?
Generally they have bamboo sticks, They will be better reinforcements.

Even I am starting my spad using coro. which model you are building? and can you please share step by step pictures and instructions too?

I will put the same after I start, Grin

The wooden skeewers are nothing but kebab sticks!! I dont know exactly where you can find them.. Perhaps Mr. Sai or Ismail can help you better regarding this!

Why dont you try Karimbhoys in Adyar. ... They are basically crockery suppliers... Poppat Jamals on Mount road is a distinct possibility.. I have bought skewers from Kharimbhoys a number of times and so has Mr. Sai

Thanks folks. Infact last week when I met Mr.Sai, he suggested to look for skewers with Nilgiris and Currimbhoys. I had tried with Nilgiris. I will check it out from Currimbhoys today.

Also I will check with florist for Bamboo sticks

My initial thought was to buy few meters of cane ( used for making cane furniture ) to join the spad wings. Wing span is 40" ( 20 + 20 ). Would that work? Or should I go for a carbon fiber pipe? Any thoughts?

Thanks again.

Cane will be heavier and rarely will you get one thats straight as an arrow for the purpose of re-inforcement. A carbon tube or pipe or even the flat CF strips will be much much better. RCFORALL also sells square tubes if you want to try those.

I am a Corogamist!



Also I will check with florist for Bamboo sticks

If you are looking of bamboo sticks trimmed down to thin sticks then its better to have a look at kite shops. In chennai you have lots of kite shops at Seven Wells (Mint area), Old Washermanpet (Vannarapattai)..  Ask for "Kathadi Baddhai" and they will show you a wide variety of that. I used to get a lot of that for different purposes.

Another way is to buy a large kite and tear off the bamboo sticks from it.

Thank you folks!

I found skewers in Currimbhoys @ Evening Bazar.

Thanks again for your suggestion. As for joining the wings, I am using 4mm carbon fiber tube . I have joined the wings, slid the skewers along the flute for reinforcement. Hoping for a maiden this Sunday.

Thanks again

I really don't know much about what you have mentioned here in this thread about  skewers, instead i used 3MM CF tubes for my first CORO project, you get clean finish and excellent strength if you see my model Wing span should be more than 50inch,i used 3 CF tubes which goes right into the groves so you don't have to even think of cutting grooves etc etc.....  Clap less of heart ache and clean finish
