Christopher Morris 2 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hi, was looking around for a simple kit to fly rc electric plane & there is a few out there, like the ben buckles & alike, but not quite what I was looking for. I have also seen many good models that are more or less hand designed & are very good for a very low price. I Would look at it being a 2 or 3 servo trainer type & I thought i would try to build one, Mabey from plans with some adaptation. 1. Has anyone found better materials to use & avoid 2. Can you see any problem making the fuselage wider for ease of working on? This would still be tapered. 3. What sort of thickness on materials Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve Houghton 1 Posted July 31, 2020 Share Posted July 31, 2020 Hi Christopher - a few of us in the slope soaring communitee have had some fun flying PSS gliders made from correx. It's fairly easy to work with but sometimes locating a supplier who can supply in large sheets can be a problem. There are loads of plans on line for both gliders and powered models, particularly from one particular group of modellers in S Africa.

Christopher Morris 2 Posted July 31, 2020 Author Share Posted July 31, 2020 Ah!, Like it Steve. I have looked around & lots of white 8x4x4mm correx sheets, but just trying to find an outlet that will do less than 25 sheets @ £80 which is only £3.20 a sheet, but not building that many. lol. Did you find a certain thickness better to use & was any particular glue preferred? Thanks. Chris. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
