Title: Entry for 2015 Sweepstake, Light Combat Aircraft , Scratch Build , foam +coro
Post by: sauravbhadauria on June 17, 2015, 04:26:34 PM
Hi all
         , i have done some scratch building but i am not a neat finisher  ;D....

Trying my hands on LCA ,Tejas.

My dad was a test pilot on it and recently he had asked me to scratch build a fighter aircraft. hence i chose Tejas.

I havent been flying rc planes  for a long time before this i flew 5 years back and that was the first time and then i went on to do my civil pilot training. i have applied in airlines and i have ample amount of free time :D...

  it has just been about 2 months since i got back to the hobby all thanks to Gaurav Agarwal Sir ( Allahabad). i started off with VT all rounder and then VT speedster from his online store. both planes helped me get back to the hobby fast. Recently i got a .52asp nitro plane.

for the present build

I will probably be using

2826/14 1400KV Brushless Motor
3 9g servo
30amp esc
3s lipo
coro sheet
Foam ( left overs from gauravA sirs place :D)

Servo and rudder work today.

Still confused about the canopy. Should I sand foam and do it or use a bottle ... I have to put my battery , Rx as fwd as possible.
Any suggestions for canopy and nose construction

A nicely short video, just long enough to prove it flies.
Well done. (Both build and video) {:)}
