How To Make A Radio Controlled Toy Plane

We discussed about  How to make a paper airplane and Rubber band powerd toy plane projects that you can try on and get an idea about how to flying an airplane. But those projects are very simple and used only very basics of flying machines. You can go further and build advance flying machines or toy airplanes. From here onward I will discuss on those topics. As a begining we will look at how to make a radio controller toy plane. When you build your own plane it is very important to think about how you are going to control that plane while its moving. Not like automobiles; planes or flying machines should have better controlling when it take off, landing and flying. When any machine moving through or on air, its movement is totally depend on how the air behave and how it changes. So, to maintain stability of your airplane, you should control it properly. We can remotely control your airplane and radio frequency can be easily used to transfer your control signal from your remote controller to your airplane. Those planes we called as "Radio Controlled Air Planes". Super Sonic RC Model Airplane R/C SYMA 9399 Training Plane ARF Radio Control Aircraft, Cessna 40 ARF, Value Series and CMP Model 140 - 73 " ARF Nitro Gas Radio Remote Controlled "Tiger Shark" Airplane RC Planeare few of the best radio controlled airplanes I met.

Befor move into our project, there are few things that you need familiar with. First you should have an airplane to fly, there should have some mechanisum to give power to your airplane, remote controller to control your airplane and how you give power to your remote controller. Figure 1 shows a remote controlled airplane, small airplane engine that you can use to give power to your airplane and if you want to give power using batteries you can use motors.

In next few articles I am planing to discuss details about individual part of a radio controlled airplane. Meantime you can buy some toy airplane and have an idea about how these parts are fixed with the airplane. Step by step we will develop our own radio controlled toy airplane. You might need little experience on electronics and capentry work. Don't worry I will explain whole details and try to explain everything. Also you might need to buy some parts like motors, batteries...etc. Save some money and ready build your own radio controlled toy airplane.

You can buy complete radio controlled toy airplanes:

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

Step-by-step instructions for building a basic rubber band powered glider

Introduction Rubber band powered gliders are a popular type of model airplane that are powered by a simple rubber band. They are often used as a fun and educational activity for children and adults alike, as they combine engineering, physics, and creativity in a unique and enjoyable way. The history of rubber band powered gliders dates back to the early 20th century, when the first models were developed as toys for children. Over the years, the design and technology behind rubber band powered gliders have evolved, and today, they come in a wide range of styles and designs, from simple stick and tissue planes to complex foam and plastic models. One of the main appeals of rubber band powered gliders is their simplicity and ease of use. They can be built from a variety of materials and require no external power source, making them a fun and accessible hobby for people of all ages and skill levels. Additionally, rubber band powered gliders offer a unique combination of creativity and scien
