Hanger 9 - Cessna 40 ARF, Value Series

In previous section we discussed about major components of radio controlled airplane. In this article will look at further details about Hanger 9 - Cessna 40 ARF, Value Series radio controlled airplane and how each of these components are fixed and controlled. In previous article I mentioned that we need few components to make a airplane. First we need to have structure of the plane, wings and tail. Then we need to have a propeller for your airplane and engine/motor to give power to the propeller. Finally you need to have a mechanisum to control your airplane.

First I am going to discuss how to you can build structure of your airplane. Detail description of each component as follows:

Center Wing Tape

Center Wing Tape is used to fix wings with the body of airplane. You don't need to use this tape always, any light weight tape can be use for this.

Tail Assembly

Tail Assembly is used to contruct the tail of the airplane. This component consist with four parts. Tail is very important to stabilize the orientation, pitch and yaw of the airplane. You can use plastic or very light weight wood (balsa wood) to construct this. If you are a beginer, it better to buy this part because correct size and shape is very important.

Wheel Axles

Wheel Axles used to fix wheels and axles.

Nose Gear

Nose gear is used to fix front wheel of the airplane. This gear works as shock absorber for front wheel.

Spinner

Spinner is fixed in between the properller and the enginer/motor. Cone like shape of the spinner is important to move through air.

Fuselage

Fuselage is the main structure of the airplane. All components are fixed to fuselage. You can use very light weight wood or plastic to make this part.

Main Land Gear

Main Land Gear is used to fix landing wheels of the airplane.Wheel Axsels are fixed to this and wheels are fixed to those axsels.

Wing Set

This is the main wing set of the airplane. This wing should be very light weight and size/share should be very unique.

Wheel Pants

Wheel Pants used to cover wheels of the airplane. The shape of the wheel pants is important to reduce disturbance from wheels through air.

First you need to supply all above parts before you move into implementation of the airplane. In next article we will look at how we connect all these parts together and build your first radio controlled airplane.

Prepare this part list and ready to go:

1. Center Wing Tape: Cessna 40 ARF Value
2. Tail Assembly: Cessna 40 ARF Value
3. Wheel Axles: Cessna 40 ARF Value
4. Main Land Gear: Cessna 40 ARF Value
5. Spinner: Cessna 40 ARF Value
6. Fuselage: Cessna 40 ARF Value
7. Wing Set: Cessna 40 ARF Value
8. Wheel Pants: Cessna 40 ARF Value

Once you complete your project, your airplane will look like this.

How To Make A Balloon Plane

Friends! How is the thing happening? Did you try the toy planes we make here? Today I am going to show another simple toy plane design that you can make very easily but have a great fun. Today we make Balloon Plane. You may wonder what this balloon plane is. This is again a simple plane uses the rubber balloon to generate throttle power. You know that once you fill the rubber balloon with air, inside the balloon air in under pressure. Once you release this air you can generate pressurized air flow from balloon’s mouth. This air flow can be used to push your plane forward very easily. Now you can imagine what I am going to make here. Even though this is a simple plane design if you control the air flow correctly you will be able to fly your plane considerable long air time. It all depends on the balloon size, straw size and length. You need to fine tune these parameters to get optimum flying time. That means if balloon is large we can expect long flying time. If straw size is small ...

Rubber Band Powered Toy Plane

As a simple start let’s make a rubber band powered toy plane as our first project. This is a very simple design which will guide you basic concept of flying machines or airplane. Before move into implementation of toy plane let’s try to understand the concept behind the flying. People have used different mechanism to fly and those are having their own advantages and disadvantages. This article explains in details different mechanism used and how they look likes. As you might already know, flying mean float on the air while moving forward or backward. Basically flying machines not take backward movement whereas by turning it can change the direction easily. To float on the air it should have some force against the gravitational forces or simply weight of the airplane. How we generate this lifting force, if you can find a mechanism to generate this force you can float on the air. Concept of Flying Figure 1.1: Air flow pattern of airplane wing

Rubber Band Powered Rocket

Today I am going to introduce another simple but, very interesting toy. You might remember that we make a Paper Airplane few months ago. Today I am going to fly that paper airplane using a rubber band. If you did not make my previous paper airplane you can try it from here . You have to have that paper airplane to make this rubber band powered rocket. Fig 1: How to make a paper airplane As you can see in above picture, you need to make your paper airplane. Details instruction given in previous post . Then you need to have a little long rubber band.
