Rc Model Air Plane building help?
I had this idea to make a Remote Control Model airplane but I have no idea how to build it or what materials to use, I wanted to make a uav looking plane, and was thinking of making it out of styrofoam or some other cheap material in case it breaks, Think budget build for this, any help is welcome
I also want to be able to attach a camera to take stills and live video feed
First off, lots of budget kits are available for almost any type of Aircraft, and there are quite a few for UAV-type planes as well. You’ll find almost any aircraft online to order. If you’re really intent on building it yourself, rather find a good set of plans to work from. Remember that in model a/c building, you still have to think about full-size aircraft details like aerodynamics, lift/weight ratios and the like. If you have zero experience with aero engineering or scratch building aircraft, I would not recommend building something from scratch with your own design. No offense meant at all. You can find a lot of free plans online, in most good Model Aircraft magazines, and also from most decent Hobby shops. As for materials, your best bet is foam, but not the packing foam variety. Your local Hobby Shop should point you in the right direction in terms of buying foam for an aircraft. Alternatively, balsa wood with a harder wood frame is also a cost effective option.
EDIT: As for the camera, small, lightweight cameras made for model aircraft are available that can take stills and video. If you go for the higher end models, the resolution is normally full HD.
