The parts are basicly build using the same concept as from the videos  above.nothing complicated at all ,just needs practice

We want roman instructional videos of the plane build    , electronics can be taken care off

Here is another video outdoor sorry had to pause the video wanted  my friends angad and john to have a go with the tortoise

If u refering to landing gear ....then its a no no .......weight will increase

oh sorry its a post by mistake in the wrong thread

bad mistake.

Would like to share some info on the covering....had many question about it.. the material i use to cover is easily found......the brown school book covers have a laminateed plastic on them thats what i use.....u may have troublpeeling the plastic from the brown paper its because of the glue used ..so  i   tried putin it in water and then boiling it it then seem to peel out easy.....i then removed it from the water peeled of the brown paper wich came of very easily and used the plastic...I have also used vegetable bags the transparent ones in bazzar they worked tooo http://www.rcindia.org/electric-planes/f1d-type-electronic-indoor

Adhesice use to cover is fevicol SR 998.....this is very very tacky sticks to finger and is difficult to remove.....i mix equal quantily of fevicol and acetone  and then apply on the balsa u can use it on carbon rods too.....its a real pain actually  :giggle:working with it

the balsa  tortoise goes out door again   love the last 10sec

As I don't have the tortoise anymore this is what I decided to build

That video of the Balsa Tortoise is excellent. Thanks for sharing.

Ohh ok you happened to see it now..lot links in the forum to micro and slowflyers.i remember asking the admin years back to make a drop down under electric plane for slow flyers and micro build.

when I got back after years here recently since i have Time I could not find if member had built any  micro or slowflyer..if they had they could have posted it in the electric planes..slowflyer or micro builds.well I guess it's not possible to do that may be.

Anyway
Here are some more builds if anyone skipped
