photo added 10/25/08 - today is the 2nd test flight of the behemoth at the negros aeromodellers runway

photo added 10/25/08 - is that a mamal or a bird?

photo added 10/25/08 - the steering wheel of my plane is made from a hydraulic piston head rubber that was glued together and it was wagling during roll on ground take off and cannot absorb shock during landing causing the bending of the landing rods

photo added 10/25/08 - my first attempt to building my own nose wheel from two bottle covers and a silicone gasket maker.

photo added 10/24/08 - very cheap foam was used for this project with single coating of marine epoxy as stiffener

photo added 10/24/08 - after looking at photos of real airplane, i decided to build a cessna 152 type look a like airplane

photo added 10/24/08 - i started with a profile of plane and from there will begin forming the section. i only used a blade cutter to cut the foam. i would be happy if someone can donate a hot wire foam cutter:)

photo added 10/24/08 - laying the template you see how large this airplane when finished

photo added 10/24/08 - near completion with cowling to be added. i changed the windshield with a light blue colored acetate, looks nice than a clear plastic sheet.

photo added 10/24/08 - what a teribly large plane.

photo added 10/24/08 - this airplane looks great at this side

photo added 10/24/08 - you will notice that i have a homebuilt wheel here. everthing is 100% handcrafted

photo added 10/20/08 - junior pilot rj beside the experimental airplane

photo added 10/20/08 - this guy is not a member of ilaga nor a brgy. tanod, but he'd seen plenty of sigbins in the past!

photo added 10/20/08 - nice plane ey?

photo added 10/20/08 - with the creator himself

after the success of my first foamie plane, i have decided to build an even larger plane at 80inches wingspan to be powered by a .40 glow engine.

cheap foam is easy to cut and shape and a single thin coating of epoxy can make it tough yet undeformed. look at the mess all over.

engine was mounted on a plywood reinforced with epoxy and some ply bracing as well.

what an nice profile! tested a roll on the ground with wings mounted this morning and engine sure is powerpacked with plenty of pulling power.

i rebuilt the nose wheel out from cloth hanger. it is important to have a stress free landing gear to prevent breaking the servo arm

servos mounted inside fuse

engine is powerful with a bite mounting proves very tough and in total authority.
