@ Iyed ji,
Dont mind for my delayed response. Was busy with official work at offsite from last 10days.
I was watching the forum from quiet some time. I have seen your reputation in forum . I was not expected a reply or help from you to a noob like me. Thanks for your kind heart in this aspect.
I will take your suggestions. Will pm you in some time. Clap

@K K
The sunburn flies really great! You built it perfectly. What was your power pack in this flight?

Emax 2805, 6x3 prop, 1000mah 2s lipo, 10A Esc.

Touch the Sky with Glory and Land back safely




Wow!
Thanks for the kind words, especially from someone I don’t even know!

Maybe I should restart lending stuff like motor, ESC etc to newbies, (even a Tx/Rx in one case), a practice I stopped due to the follow up required to get the stuff back. One would expect a return in say 4-8 weeks without reminders!

Meanwhile another beginner has asked for the Yak...

More in a day or two.


@KK Iyer

Sir, we all are RC flyers and that bond us all like no other bond. 
I am RC flyer from Gujarat, and since we fly only on weekends, my username is WeekendFlyer.
And in the process of starting hobby club by that name "Weekend Flyers"

In response to babu.talamunchi’s original post asking for a trainer plane, I had posted pics of my Yak12, Sunbird and Tiger Moth. Not easy for me to let them go, as they are like family members.
This Sunday, 7th Oct, the weather was just right after long.
And our airfield was lovely.
And RC Aunt, my co-pilot hadn’t flown in six months.
The time was ripe to fly the Yak, Tiger Moth and Sunbird.

Alex Bessie (bessie on this forum) wanted the Yak. He said he’s a beginner. I had some doubt if the Yak was suitable, as she had been FAR TOO SENSITIVE on earlier flights.

This Sunday I found that all she needed was some nose weight and 50% reduction in throws.
Now she’s smooth as a pussycat.
RC AUNT flew the YAK solo and pronounced her as easy to fly as the Sunbird.

I’ve sent a short video to bessie.

Here’s a slightly longer one (less than 1.5 min)

Those looking for something really inexpensive can consider this bare airframe built by one of my flying buddies, for 1500+shipping
Needs 3x9gm servos (I can provide for 500),
And motor, prop, esc, lipo, rx.

@v2 eagle
@madaquif

Interest shown in Tiger Moth by v2 eagle and madaquif.
Await their price expectations.
As I said earlier, cost me about 12k plus about 2k for 4s lipo plus about 2k shipping from RCB.
And I’ve to see how to dismantle stab and fin without major surgery...

I’ll let it go for 10k+ shipping.
(note that 2200mah 4s lipo is included)

Videos of flights on Sunday 7th Oct on wife’s phone. Will share on 21st when she’s back.

Indore YAK seems a very stable flier. Loved the background chatter too  Wink

@bessie,
Do you want the Yak with the ugly arrangement of lipo taped on and a lump of plasticine nose weight?
Or can you wait till I figure out a more elegant alternative?
Regards

@bessie,
Hope you can tolerate the delay.
New cowl under construction.
To hold lipo and nose weight internally.
Got tired of poor finish on foam cowls, so went ahead with balsa...

I wish that members who are no longer interested, post or PM a “no thanks”, so that I can avoid following up.

Await response to my PM from v2 eagle and madaquif for Tigermoth,
And from Weekendflyer for bare airframe.
And anyone interested in Sunbird...

Now the lipo is flush with the fuselage bottom, and the nose weight goes inside the cowl

Ashok, aquif and dj,
If you guys are not interested any more, (in the other models), you could at least respond to my PMs with a ‘No thanks’.
Two of you know me. Despite that no reply. Are PMs worthless?

@bessie,
Doubt if you can even notice the fibreglass covering!
Finishing on the cowl is really clean, I can remember a post on "How to make this Nose look beautiful" some time ago, makes me wonder. And inspires me at the same time, as I was designing (or rather struggling to) some plane in 3d  yesterday.
It always feels good to see your models here.

Cheers

Generally a good idea to provide reasonable air flow around the LiPo for cooling
