How to Build a Great Homemade RC Airplane Really Cheap
This shows how I built my scratch built rc Ultra Lite Slow Flyer airplane. It has a 47" wingspan and is made from wood and 3/4" pink foam insulation sheet. I contoured the wings with a hot wire cutter that I made out of a guitar string and car battery charger. I used the gearbox from an older plane, got a 3 channel radio on ebay for $10 and cheap mini servos from hong kong for $1.00 a piece and they work great! The plane flies beautifully.
If you fly a drone or RC plane then you will really want to build or buy one of these devices because it can make a huge difference to the safety of your flying
To not immediately crash the balsa wood wing I am building, I decided to make a foam delta wing of similar size and weight to get a good hang of flying
