Future PlansFuture Plans• Mock up of thermocol• Wing construction • Canard, rudder and base-plate construction
as also struts and frame• Assembling fuel tank, r/c receiver, servos
and engine on the base plate

Future PlansFuture Plans
• Attaching control servos to control surfaces• Integrating wing, canard and rudder with
the frame• Integrating base plate with frame• Testing for flight and change incorporation

What we need to know…What we need to know…
How do we reduce the cost?Electric motor instead of IC engine What sequence should we follow in
building the model?Can we test individual components
separately before incorporating in the final model?
