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.

Fuselage: Cessna 40 ARF Value

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.

Main Land Gear: Cessna 40 ARF Value

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.
