Cartoon SU-27 "Drago" 1s Pusher

[Silver Surfer FPV]

Built with depron. Went thru a few redesign and repairs before I could get her to fly.

Got the plan made by EY0927399 from RC groups and shrank it down for a 1s pusher build. Same parts as the other builds. Plan and build video here - https://www.rcgroups.com/forums/showthread.php?4162287-Cartoon-Plane-Future-Build-List/page2

Did you use hot glue to join the depron?

Love this style, Can't wait to see a big and stubby Bf-109

I'm curious, how do you come up with the arcs for the cones?

Using hot glue and just shrank a 3s brushed plan to a 1s brushless plan.

Do you ever have trouble with the hotmelt glue debonding from the depron? I have. Not sure if I need to turn up the heat, I saw a youtuber from Europe using depron as a ultra light build for a model plane, he used some sort of unfamiliar German contact cement to adhere his pieces... He also used packing tape on the back side of the depron to help graciously mold-bend the depron without getting kinks.

Using Gorilla hot glue sticks with these builds. Strong bond with depron, takes crashes pretty good, I had the depron break and crack but the bond holds.
